Bjork- Bachelorette- Analysis

Tracking Shot

From out initial thoughts, the idea of a continous tracking shot combined with a narrative 'evolution of love' in the peripheral of the audiences vision. This music video uses a similar technique to create a fast paced video, our version would be slower to match the tempo of the chosen track.

Sliding Doors

Our idea of alternative realities can from the film Sliding Doors starring Gwyneth Patrow; A London woman's love life and career both hinge, unknown to her, on whether or not she catches a train. We see it both ways, in parallel.

After a group discussion we thought this idea could make a really interesting video. So we are going to carry on exploring and developing this idea by researching and looking at other media pieces similar to this idea.

Intial Idea

Our intial idea reflects the growth of love of a boy and girl over time both lyrically and visually through the music video. The theme of love and its movement is demonstrated through a combination cinematography and mise-en-scene.

The setting will be a two pathed street. The video will show the girl and boy developing from babies to adults and how their connection strengthens over time.The metaphor of the street is life and the couples coming together is a story of love. Consequently, we then introduced the concept of alternate realities if the couple had never met.
