Similar Narrative

Expanding from genre research, I decided to compare our artist with another artist, in this case a band, that also had a narrative in their music video. The music video that I thought would be best to compare with is, 'One Night Only - Say You Don't Want It'. 

The reasoning for this, is that it features a linear narrative. This is where a story line is running in the correct order. In lesson a while back, we annotated this music video taking out a few key notes that carried the most importance. Due to the fact that we were focusing upon the linear narrative. 

One Night Only - Say You Don't Want It' has the narrative of boy met girl. The boy  is rebellious being chased out of corner shops and running through the busy streets. However, unexpectedly, they are personified as dogs, which is then apparent at the end of the video. The female dog (girl actress) is taken in a rich looking car with a well manicured car. However the male dog is left. This could mean that one got famous and the other didn't. 

Therefore, both videos have a narrative, which we could ultimately take inspiration from this video.
