Narrative Video

This is a Narrative video as it tells a story about a young girl in the form of cupid who makes people fall in love but wishes to fall in love herself and so shoots herself with one of her own arrows. The video plays as a flashback as it begins with the ending and then flashes back to before, therefore it is not chronological. The video almost acts like a modern day fairy-tale, therefore has some aspects of an abstract video but is mainly narrative as it tells a story. There is also no miming and evokes feelings from the audience. The video contradicts Andrew Goodwin's theory as Goodwin believes that music videos should ignore the common narrative as the audience will become bored however this video goes against this idea.
