There are many music videos which inspire me with narrative, codes and conventions. The theme of "The Draw" by Bastille is being held by things you have no control over. Other music videos also follow this theme such as "This Is Gospel" by Panic! At The Disco. This video follows a man as he is brought to hospital, slowly dying; the narrative follows his perspective of things. The mise-en-scene that it uses to portray this includes ropes and a contrasting black and white background. The man is held in the darkness by ropes and unknown "doctor" beings. The video ends with the ropes breaking free and the man running into the light, symbolising death. I quite like the idea of ropes and them holding someone back from where they need to be, and therefore I will try to include this in my music video.
In my music video, I would like to include point of view shots. This is to clearly show that through the eyes of the protagonist, the world is in a dark, twisted state, but to everyone else it is normal.
