5th September - Research into Narrative Music Videos

Recently due to my other English Language investigation coursework I have been examining Quentin Tarantino films. As I have been doing this I have taken some interest in his use of credits and text within his films, this includes the typical Tarantino convention of the bold yellow writing.

This has made me consider in our music video it would be interesting to use text in our music video as it would be combining film and music.
This has been previously done in Lady Gaga and Beyonce's music video for the single "Telephone".

It even contains the car "The Pussy Wagon" which is featured in Tarantino's Kill Bill.
This is a direct reference to the movie.

 This is the font used throughout the music video for Telephone, it has the same colour scheme as Tarantino films and it also is featured like a film rather than a music video, "WORLD PREMIERE".







Here we can see the resemblnce from a Tarantino film to the music video itself.
This clip is from the film "Death Proof" and although it is rathr dated compared to Lady Gaga's and Beyonce's there is a clear resemblence.
