Ancillary Text 1 - CD Cover (Planning)

Ancillary Text 2 - Magazine Advertisement (Planning)

Bastille have placed many advertisements in magazines, which are usually used to advertise music tours rather than albums. These advertisements include the same iconography as their albums, so that the audience easily recognises them. I must use the same images and fonts and I do on my CD cover artwork in order to follow this convention. 

Bastille - The Draw (Lyric Analysis)

On the website http://songmeanings.com/songs/view/3530822107859472270/ there were many people's different interpretations on the song The Draw by Bastille and it's meaning. I believe that one in particular (shown below with +7), had concluded the song perfectly. The general theme of what people said on the meaning behind The Draw was that it was about mental illness, and the struggle to get help and stay alive. I feel as though I can represent this in my music video, using imagery of rope to literally show the struggle inside someone's mind.

Bastille - The Draw (Lyrics)

In my left hand there is the familiar

In my right hand there's the great unknown

I can see the madly different grass there

But I'm drawn to wilder nights at home

Don't listen to your friends

See the despair behind their eyes

Don't listen to your friends

They only care and want to know why

I can feel the draw

I can feel it pulling me back

It's pulling me back, it's pulling me

I can feel the draw

I can feel it pulling me back

It's pulling me back, it's pulling me

Are you drifting way beyond what's normal?

'Cause round your mind rings the words that they would say

When you go home everything looks different

And you're scared of being left behind

Just listen to your friends

Trust that their fair look in their eyes

Just listen to your friends

They only care and hope you're alright

I can feel the draw

I can feel it pulling me back

It's pulling me back, it's pulling me

I can feel the draw

I can feel it pulling me back

It's pulling me back, it's pulling me

I can feel the draw

I can feel it pulling me back

It's pulling me back, it's pulling me

I can feel the draw

The draw, the draw, the draw

Previous Bastille Music Videos

The majority of the narratives used in music videos produced by Bastille follow a lone female character. The music videos are usually very dark and use slow paced editing, and I will reflect this in my music video so that it is believable as a professional video by Bastille. 

I have decided to star as the lead in my music video, as I believe that I can portray the protagonist female character well.
