Research and Planning: Music video and narration.

There are two key types of narration:

• Restricted narration - When the narrative is based around one character, so the audience are restricted to seeing only what the character knows/sees. This can create a sense of mystery as they cannot predict what is going to happen.

• Omniscient narration - The audience usually know more than the character(s), as the camera reveals elements that they may not voluntarily have wished it to, generally creating a feeling of suspense as the audience are waiting for something to happen.

This particular video is a restricted narrative. This has been constructed through media language due to the many point of view shots, and the majority of the shots focusing on the one main character. * http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQUIBJ_jYTU *

Whereas this video has omniscient and restricted narrative features. It has both point of view shots and parallel action editing. *http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEukS2YN9B8*
