Location Ideas

A location Idea which I've thought about would be it taking place on a beach as this has connotations of being physically/mentally lost and can be seen in Music Videos such as "Try" by Pink, "Skyscraper" by Demi Lovato and and "I knew you where Trouble" by Taylor Swift.

The artist is mentally lost because they've fallen out of love. I also thought that the dance sequences would look good taking place in the sea, because it'll create splashes of water to add to the turmoil/passion of the video.

The rest of my video would take place in a house to suggest that this is where the artists lives. It gives connotations of domestication and family. I'm thinking of placing the protagonist (main artist) and the antogonist in different rooms to show they're apart. The idea of having an antogonist and protagonist relates to Levi Strauss Theory of Binary Opposites (1958) which suggests things must contrast. The idea of Binary opposites links with ideological values and how we percieve the world. Representations re-represent them self to an audience to assue understanding, meaning and recognition from a text is understood. Therefore by having contrast in characters it reassures the viewer that the artist is the protagonist.
