Video Narrative

Chris Brown - Beautiful People (My Video) Narrative

The narrative is how beautiful people are around the world are. I travel from London to Zambia filming the people and the culture. The story shows how no matter what people are going through, what race and what culture; everyone is beautiful. It’s not just what’s only on the outside but what’s on the inside. My video shows the scenery and people being happy in their own right. I mainly use long shots to show the background as people might be interested in seeing what Zambia looks like for those who have a pre-assumption of what Africa is like. It’s not all doom and gloom. My video is linear which means the video refers to a story that is told in the order in which events happen - from beginning to end.

My video is an omniscient narrative. The message is more than just what is seen on the screen. The meaning can be perceived in many different ways. The meaning is left down to the audience. What is provided is the basic meaning that everyone around the world is beautiful. The scenes captured are left to the audience’s perception and what they want to believe they are seeing.
