Representations of narratives

For our music video, the story revolves around Alex (Main character), who's who's hopeless falling for the girl of his dreams, Aimeé; where he tries to woo her with his charm and charismatic lifestyle. So as the course of video continues we get to peer into Alex's interests and passion in skating, which he likens to his his love for Aimeé.

Therefore the music video conforms to five stages :

• Eposition- So it set's the scene by immediately introducing us to our main character Alex in the city of London, preparing to go skating .
• Development- Sitiuation develops more characters introduced. The constant looking over in Aimeé's direction to highlight that she is the love interest.
• Complication - Something happens to complicate lives of characters. for this instance it will be the fact Aimeé cannot really skate.
• Climax- Decisive moment reached, matters come to a suspense. this occurs when Alex decides to ask Aimeé whether she would like him to teach her how to skate.
• Resolution- Matter are resolved and satisfactory end is reached. The resolution is that she agrees to the  idea and there are seen in the music video to be skating together. 

There is also evident Todorov's theory,  there is an equilibruim at the beginning of the opening scene, where things are quite normal at the beginning until a certain situation where a character and an action disrupts the equilibrium, and in this case it is when Alex notices Aimeé and decides to go forth and approach her.

We also have a very archetypal music video where main character (Alex) wins over the girl by his burst into song  and his irresistible charm. A modern day example would be Michael Jackson the way you make me feel.
