Planning: Performing & Narrative


Within our group, it has been decided that we will be using actors/other people to star in our music video to tell a story and for performance purposes and the artist will only tell the narrative. However, I think that it will be better for the artist to both tell the narrative and star in the music video. This is for a number of reasons, including:

- relying on other people in our group may not be a good idea as they may decide that they do not want to or end up having other plans. Using the people in our group makes things more likely to go to plan.

- although I do understand that we do not want to portray our artist in a negative light as our storyline involves drugs and murder, many other artists star in their music videos aswell as narrating, and the narratives are not always positive eg

Genres outside of ours:

Rihanna - Man down
Where the artist, Rihanna, shoots and kills a man who sexually abused her and then goes on the run.




Drake - Hold on we're going home
Where Drake, the artist, uses guns and raids houses to free a captured girl.



I understand that these examples are outside of our genre, however below is a genre that is similar to ours, although the narrative is not negative, the artist still performs as well as narrating.

Lana del rey - national anthem
