Evaluation Of Planning

Using Goodwin’s theory, we have based the music video via his theory with the use of linear narrative (beginning to end) and performance. The story begins of with an argument and ends with a typical happy ending. There is a strong relationship between the lyrics and visuals. The line “Well we can still have these tattered pages what do you say we start over baby” the scene in the music video shows that she is giving him another chance for their relationship and doesn’t want to throw out all the memories that they have gone through. Also there is a relationship between the music and the visuals as the chorus begins, a cross cut is used directly to show the performance and the pace of music gets stronger. We follow the typical conventions of pop-rock genre as we use both performance and narrative. Also, in the performance part of the video there is a band in the background just the way a pop rock genre would use. The use of the instruments used is typical instruments that we would use in a rock genre such as guitars and drums. The development of the star is shown gradually with the different costumes that the star is wearing. She wears casual clothing in the beginning narrative but in the performance her costume changes drastically showing her feminist side and the maturity. It also interprets that she’s putting her problems aside her and being the stronger person. Close up shots of the star’s image is used a numerous number of times to keep in the mind’s audiences that we are concentrating on her image and the person she is. This will increase the fame in a rapid pace. The inter-textual references is referred to the artist Pink to the song “Don’t leave me” as from the beginning the couple both argue which also occurs in the music video of “Say Anything”.
