"A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later." Stanley Kubrick

Representation

To add, Robert Downey Jr is most well known today for playing Iron Man in the Marvel 'Iron Man' movies. His net worth is around $75 billion, but back in 2001, he was arrested and charged with drug possession. Over time, as you can see below, his representation has been changed drastically, from "Robert Downey Jr's bizarre downfall" to "Robert Downey Jr is the highest-paid actor in the world!" It just shows that there is never an objective representation; it is always changing.



Our music video will feature definite stereotypes. For starters, the main singer is a girl, who is shown to be previously suffering from a break up. This is a common trait in music videos, but where we thwart it is when she throws it away and decides to not let it consume her, but to rather carry on with her life. We like this idea of the main singer being independent, passionate and determined. 
This is going to be shown through the bonfire scenes, that she is "the spark" that is so important in the narrative.
