 Music Video

Reference to The Beatles on the home screen.

0:25

Reference to various bands with the posters on the bedroom wall.

0.43

Reference to the band Massive Attack on the flashcard.

1:16

Reference to Micky Mouse on the child's shirt.

1:26

Reference to 'Before I Saw You' which transfers the meaning of a love story to the narrative.

1:36

Reference to the animated film 'Your Name' which follows a similar narrative to the one in the video. Of a boy who lives in an urban city falling in love with a girl from the rural country side. I replicated this via the love narrative of two girls, and the constant iconography of rural and urban areas. Seen in the shot here, and with the shots of the train and the shots of them walking towards the camera.

Website

The track list contains songs that reference several different artists - which is made more overt in my about page. In order (excluding 1.):

Her's, Beach Bunny, Hippo Campus, Alvvays, Declan McKenna, Paramore, Green Day, ABBA, Bonney M, Counting Crows, Madonna.

By referencing famous artists I hope to transfer the star and aspirational status of my those artists to my band.

The outfits of each individual band member are a reference to iconic outfits of certain famous artists transferring the aspirational status of those artists to mine.

From left to right:

Declan McKenna, Paramore, Green Day

These album covers make the above stated references more overt, and the posters to movies are referenced to make the artists seem more 'down to earth' and allows the audience to make more of a connection to them.

Intertextual reference to the Shrek franchise.

Poster in the 'Lightbox' is a reference to the movie poster for 'Call Me By Your Name'.
