MV: lyrics= plot?
May 2nd, 2009 Posted 7:33 PM
Making music videos is quite fun and interesting. I found sound also can work very well with narrative.
Like this music video displayed:
The visual motions reflect the lyrics. Like the first sentence:”Good morning, yesterday.” The image is a little girl playing with her father happily. The colour is bright and it fades to black, which shows the happy time of the past.
And in the editing part, cuts follow the melody, slow or fast;cut away when one sentence of lyrics finishes.
My favourite one is : In the heavy rain, a guy is holding a bunch of roses, looking at the girl in the car, all picture is grey except the strong red roses. And we can see he gaze between each other. Even though they do not appear in the same frame. (maybe those two parts were shoot separately.) the girl is crying , the guy gets hurt ,too. Also the climax of the song comes along.
And those montagues are collected by purpose— they all very touching , all about love between two people. So in MV, the lyrics is the plot, is everything.
And I do feel moved when I watch the this video:
Good morning, yesterday
You wake up and time has slipped away
And suddenly it’s hard to find
The memories you left behind
Remember, do you remember
The laughter and the tears
The shadows of misty yesteryears
The good times and the bad you’ve seen
And all the others in between
Remember, do you remember
The times of your life (do you remember)
Reach back for the joy and the sorrow
Put them away in your mind
The mem’ries are time that you borrow
To spend when you get to tomorrow
Here comes the saddest part (comes the saddest part)
The seasons are passing one by one
So gather moments while you may
Collect the dreams you dream today
Remember, will you remember
The times of your life
Gather moments while you may
Collect the dreams you dream today
Remember, will you remember
The times of your life
Of your life
Do you remember, baby
Do you remember the times of your life
