PUP - Guilt Trip [Narrative Stucture]

The music video 'Pup - Guilt Trip' is the example I looked at to better understand narrative structure within music videos. This music video can closely link to the idea of children and bullying, which I would like to explore in my video. The continuity in the characters allows for the structure to close at the end because we know where the children ended up, however this music video further challenges this because it allows for the story to continue on within the older versions of the characters. This almost forms an interactive structure, I will have to look at my concepts and ideas to do with this because it will inform me of the conventions then. Interactive structure can change on different factors therefore constantly pressuring change within the story, which can keep an audience gripped throughout the music video while engaging with the audio. 

Being able to keep the continuity of the characters using props throughout the music video allows the narrative to both introduce the characters and be able to show them growing up. This is further supported by the continuity of actions in the video, and by cutting instantly between them the audience can easily link which character is who. Lastly having the characters then lip sync at the end as a unit really shows the band form, this is further a significant moment in the video.

My idea amplifies the artists beliefs and ideas within the song, therefore I have to make the video and the song link throughout to achieve the idea of amplification.The circular narrative of this music video is one that I feel would be a great target to achieve because it adds mystery to begin with but as the music video progresses we learn as a viewer what is going on, then we return to the same opening shot with a sense of knowledge. Some narratives within music video creation are anti-realist narratives and are more abnormal like cartoons because it shows the originality of an artist, this leaves a big option for me to create an abstract art within my music video. Lastly  would like to incorporate the climax in the middle of the music video but cutting out the music for about ten seconds and showing the climax take place, this creates drama and will be memorable and recognisable.
