This song has some hidden mean sing in its lyrics and the lyrics tell a story when you look deeper into the. The lyrics 'The seed of all this indecision isn't me, oh no' show that maybe there is a disagreement or that someone has told him something that he doesn't agree with and wants to say that its not his idea its the other person in his life.
Another hidden meaning from the lyrics are that he gets his 'hopes up' again and again this is a repeated lyric in the song and it shows the audience that he is hoping that the relationship can get back to normal as he didn't want to split up with his partner.
Our group have annotated the lyrics so that its clear what we can base our video on, for example there are lyrics in the video could be about a relationship and from this we can base our music video about a character with a love interest or something that relates to the lyrics.
The annotations we have made will make it easier when planning the micro elements as we can see what situation the lyrics are putting our character in and the different micro-elements such as costumes will relate to this, when the lyrics are sad this may mean the character looks sad and dresses in a suppressed way. And the annotations of the lyrics we have made will help choose our target audience as we can see that the lyrics are quite mature so the target audience of 16-35 year olds will be better suited than a younger audience. The sad nature of the lyrics will help with the planning the style of our music video, for example the sad lyrics will allow us to present a style of music video that isn't as fast paced or that will use conventions of the pop genre like dancing for example as the lyrics will make the character in our video be more sad and reflective on his situation.
You have made a start in considering the hidden meanings of your chosen song. However, the narrative needs to be explored in a lot more detail, by explaining what will be seen, the style of the production, explanation of how you will follow your chosen music conventions and how your production will appeal to your target audience.
