You Me At Six- If I Were In Your Shoes.
this is an example of an As-Live video. the band are performing as if this were a live performance, however there is no audience and the actual recording of the track is done seperately to the video then placed over the video. therefore this video is as-live. this is helpful research because we are going to film the chorus of our song as an As-Live video, we will be filming whilst in the studio, so there is footage of me singing but the track will still be placed over the video.
Ed Sheeran - The A-team
This video is an example of a narrative music video. A narrative video is a music video that tells a story, this video tells the story of a young girl who's life is in a downward spiral. The tone of the music helps convey the emotion of the story and the narrative and music complement each other as the lyrics of the song relate to what is happening in the video. This is helpful for research because our song is also quite emotive and its good to see a video that can convey the same emotions as we'd like to and the conventions they use to do this.
Twinkle twinkle little star
how i wonder what you are
up above the world so high
like a diamond in the sky

when the night falls we come alive
this is when we find our drive
then our hearts start shining bright
and twinkle twinkle through the night

i open my eyes
and see
the light you shine upon me
i listen and hear your call
louder it gets as i fall

with my heart trapped in the dark
all it needs is a small spark
now the light shining through the window
embrace my fears let them go

no, i dont know
what you are
twinkle, twinkle, little star
how i wonder what you are

up above
the world so high
like a diamond in the sky

like a diamond
like a diamond
like a diamond
like a diamond
you shine your little light
and twinkle twinkle through the night

twinkle, twinkle little star
how i wonder what you are
