REFLECTION ON FIRST DRAFT

-



The main changes I made after reflecting on the first draft were:

- Changing the artist's name in the titles - I chose to include Jerry Folk (JF) - who remixed the original song - instead of Oh Wonder (OW) as JF is a definite dance/electro artist, whereas OW are an indie-pop duo, so by using JF it enabled me to meet the criteria properly and create a digitally convergent website that features more conventions of dance music.

- Adding more black and white sections - I did this in order to continue the theme further into the video, whilst the tempo of the song was still slow.

- Recolouring clips - This entailed mainly adjusting brightness and saturation of clips and was done in order to create a more vivid image that is more easily recognisable to the audience as being summer.

- Adding clips - I added clips that cut back to the couple on the beach at 2:00-2:04 as I felt that the studio clips of the actress gazing into the camera were too stationary compared to the song and other sections of the video.

I chose to use intertextual references to the Coca-Cola adverts and ad campaigns, as Coca-Cola is a brand and product that has connotations of happiness and enjoyment - these are two ideas that I was aiming to include in my music video, as they are appealing to the target audience of a young, culturally aware ABC demographic. Coca-Cola is also a product that is often associated with summer, so this helps to reinforce the theme of the video and is a recognisable and familiar sight to viewers. Furthermore, Coca-Cola's slogan 'open happiness' complements the themes being explored in the music video. I chose to represent the slogan as the physical action of opening a bottle of cola, followed by a montage of the friends laughing and enjoying the drink, indicating that once opening the drinks, they became more upbeat and appeared to be enjoying themselves more.
