Representation

As we are doing an illustration video the main representation is of the lyrics. Most of the actions we have included such as dancing, a cafe and the coloured lights are drawn from the lyrics. Another main representaion is of our artist. He is portrayed as a stereotypical single 'lad', a bit of player. A behaviour great publicised through celebrities and the increasingly popular fake reality shows such as Made in Chelsea, which refers prefusely to 'the game'. This representation fits in with Laura Mulvey's theory of the male gaze as our artist is surrounded by attractive women and is interest in them all. However Oliver is also presented to be quite chivalrous and old fashioned with girls, create a binary opposite. Our setting of a field is in keeping with a stereotypical link between folk and acoustic indie and natural elements. This creates a well known representation of our genre, which will appeal to our audience.
