I liked this music video because it told a story in chronological order with a clear transition from equilibrium, disruption and then new equilibrium. I also like how the story is told in flashbacks and it’s interesting to see how a trivial matter such as shoes can lead to so many issues and problems.
I also liked this music video because it also clearly tells a story in chronological order. I also like the fact there is also a clear exposition, climax and denouement, the music video also links to Propp’s character type theory as we see a hero, false hero, villain, victim and princess and I like how some of the characters are more than just one type of character ie the protagonist is the hero, false hero and victim.

In this video I would say it features many stock characters in individual stories that are all some how connected in some way. For example The black man being arrested would be seen as the victim and the police man the villain in this scenario. I would also so say that the majority of the characters are victims of the society we live in. I would also say the running in the video (3:07) is the climax of the story.
In this video I think binary oppositions are used, the video shows a disagreement between two groups (white & orange) which represent a male & female in a relationship. It could also be seen as a fight between peace and unrest (white seen as pure where as orange seen criminalised)
In this video stock characters can also be seen, the one girl who is seen to be distressed and commit sucide can be seen as the victim/princess that needed saving and Lana del Rey can be seen as the hero for trying to save her however not being able to save her. the victim is also seen in red which could represent blood/death where as Lana’s in white representing her being pure/ angle like.

MUSIC VIDEOS
For my music video, I am hoping to do an animated music video to differentiate from other music videos.
I like this music video because at the beginning, I like the shot zooming into the protagonist and then zooming out. I also like the way the protagonist is walking and the video is reversed and the background people are walking. I also like the way the protagonist maintains eye contact as it engages the audience and attracts their attention.
I like the way this music video begins with the protagonist wearing headphones (since including headphones are part of the brief). I also like the way the majority of the music video was with the headphone wire being created into images.
I like this music video because I like the animations. I feel this is the music video style I am most steered towards doing as animation will contain no people as I have discovered it is quite difficult working with people.

I changed my ideas for topic of isolation indoors to outdoor location because I think it can give me more to work with for the music video. Plus the outdoor location can give more of a desolate feeling.
