Narrtive

Narrative theory
There is a lose narrative used in my music video which is based on a few of the lyrcis that are shown through the performance of the actresses in my music video. The main concept used in the video is 'fun' and 'excitiment' as these are the two elements used throughout all pop genres which is a convention that is followed to get the right audience for the media product. Any people can relate to the actresses in my video as they are young up coming stars and are shown to be close friends which  the target audience can connect with and see them as role models because they are so relaxed and give off a good persona about themselves.
My music video uses a closed narrative as there isnt a second sequence used to this song.
Iconography is an important element to use when making a pop video as I used props through my video such as dance performance, fashion, make-up and bright colours that all represent the pop genre.
Music is important in the video as it uses the tempo and tone as they are quite fast pace which give the video a dance and fun feel, as well as using the beat to steps and movements they do.
Editing through my video was used to speed up shots and link each clip together in time so there were no stilll gaps. I also used lyrcis that were shown on the screen to get the audience more invloved and using the key words through the song to show to the audience how important they are which shows the overall narrative of the song.
The themes that run through the video are bright colours and fun, exciting shots that best show off the pop convention. I used muitple backgrounds to show the different girls personalities and a range of location that all fit in with the genre that best represents the narrative story showing the girls lifes seperately and together as a group of friends.

Mise-en-scene
I added authenicity through my settings and relationships in the video which is shown through the mise-en-scene by using real locations that best fit the narrative as well as the girls fitting well with the stereotypical girl band with a bit of a twist as they used their own fashion products when it came to the clothing style which gets across better to the audience as their clothing can be bought in all hight street retail shops, nothing outragesly expensive so others can buy it if they like the products.
John Stewart says the mise-en-scene emphasise an 'asprinational lifestyle' for the audience which can link to my video as the girls are seen as role models to many as they are down to earth and my young girls may want to be like them as they want a close friendship group or want be confident and out going like them.

Theorists
Roland Barthes, Culture code is when 'the audience derives meaning in a text from shared cultrual knowledge about the way the world works'. This relates to my video because the text in my narrative is about standing stronge on your own and be able to achieve anything you want which relates to everyone who has goals in life as well as showing the young teen society we have these days and my band are trying to give power and faith to young children to never give up. This message is perseved through the video but indirectly as it isnt straight forward.
Andrew Goodwin, Illustrative which means 'images provided in a literal representation'. This relates to my narrative as I use dance moves and lyrcis on screen to present the narrative of my video. The group shots show the close friendship they have and the single shots show their individual personlities to come through. Also the backgrounds used are fun and colourful showing the pop genre convention.
Steve Archer, Videos will 'cut between a narrative and performance of the song by the band'. This fits my narrative very well because as I use shots of the girls singing and showing their relationship together but I also used dance performance through the video towards the end to show a stereotypical pop video using the right elements to gain the target audience.

The Artists Role
Music videos can be characterized by three broad typologies and my video fits into the performance category as my music video doesnt particularly follow a narrative it uses a dance performance throughout to describe the lyrics. This sort of video is used to draw in their viewers that will covney the indirect message hiden in the performance and lyrics of the video as it is straight forward as this is no actual narrative.

Narrative video codes
The narrative of my video is simple and lose allowing for repeatability to gain a wider audience so they dont get bored of the video after a few views because they use a tight realistic narrative. This is made through using bright interesting colours, dance performance and a repeated chours that is catchy so the audience get hooked to it.
Musical synaesthesia used in the narrative of my video is the dominant musical arrangement that sets the overall mood of the video by key the beat or rythm used through the video such as the drums as the girls dance and use their body language to communicate this beat across to the audience, giving the overall video a up beat fast tempo making it fun and exiciting to listen to. This narrative code leaves the audience wanting to listen to it again as the sound/music is something they enjoy. The pop genre also uses bright and visual locations in different areas of a city as well as using green screens of colourful backgrounds to bring interest to the music video.

Performance video codes
Conevention of a bands performance that is included in my video is a range of lip syncing, close-ups, mid shots and long shots to show different performance angles of the girls that show a range of ideas such as their dance steps which use long shots and mid shots when they are together in a group to see their body language and movement. Also close ups used when they are singing individually and extreme close ups when they are lip syncing so the audience can see the technical side of the product. A lot of the chours shots are repeated using the usual angles and shots so the audience know its the chours and this can be memeriosed in their brains. It also shows the real meaning to the song and explains the narrative story.
