I wanted to emphasise the loneliness by using very empty space with the people being at MS to XLS. I also used empty places to show that there is nobody else around.

Syncretism, double consciousness & hybridisation: mechanisms for understanding cross-cultural identities.

Paul gilroy is insistent that ‘we must become interested in how the literary and cultural as well as governmental dynamics of the country have responded to that process of change and what it can tell us about the place of racism in contemporary political culture.’ (2004:13) His theme of Double Consciousness, derived from W. E. B. Dubois, involves ‘Black Atlantic’ striving to be both European and Black through their relationship to the land of their birth and their ethnic political constituency follow this wiki link for more on this point.

SETTINGS AND CHARACTERS:

Due to the lockdown measures, I am having to do all my photos around my house and use my family members/pets as characters. I have also used images from the summer holidays a few years ago for the “Utopia” part of the music video.

When lockdown is eased and it’s more safer to go outside, I am hoping to have scenes of deserted streets in Jersey, then the protagonist puts on a pair of headphones and is transported to a Utopia, the World back to normal after Coronavirus, where they are able to meet up with friends and it’s summer, with loads of festivals and sitting on the beach with friends.

However, I will have scenes where the protagonist has their headphones off and are in reality, doing things in lockdown (baking, working, clap for carers, relaxing, etc). The headphones are going to be a symbol of what the future should look like. This is because the song I have chosen is called ”Hope”, which is about finding hope in dark times and Coronavirus can be seen as a dark time because of lockdown measures and how there is a killer virus spreading around and life has been changed drastically to prevent the spread of the killer virus.
