Case study - How does the Sex Pistols album art appeal to their target audience?

Narrative structure

For the planning for our music we wanted to make a narrative that could be relatable but also can be interpreted in many ways. We first looked at a linear narrative. This is where the story is in chronological order and there is a climax and a resolution at the end. We also looked at a closed structure where the story ends satisfactorily and therefore has closure as we felt this would allow the story to be memorable. We also looked at a circular narrative and this is where the story starts and ends in the same place. With that structure what we could do is have the male character be in bed and drink a spiked drink and then go into a dream state and we could understand through the story why someone would do that to him.

In my music video i used a linear structure that allowed me to tell the story from beginning to end with a resolution at the end to create a relatable and meaningful story. The use of other techniques such as flashbacks are used to also tell the story without giving too much away. The use of the girl having more power than the male character at the beginning than male character creates a disequilibrium and this theme is used throughout the video but it changes at the end where an equilibrium is formed as the two characters finally meet creating a climax to the narrative. Below are other techniques used in my music video.
