INSPIRATION FOR INITIAL IDEAS

My inspiration for my initial ideas is not only from the original video of  'Breezeblocks' as that too demonstrates the idea of love, hate, jealousy and murder but the Bob Dylan music video - Beyond Here Lies Nothing. This music video demonstrates a dysfunctional, violent relationship which portrays love, hate and jealousy but breaks traditional conventions of narrative, in reverse roles the woman eventually over comes the dominating man and shows power. This is nontraditional of music videos as the man is always seen to be more dominant than the woman which is a good aspect of its narrative as it diverges from stereotypes. The music video also in some ways sticks to the social realism of the darker side to relationships for some people in violent relationships. The woman in the video manages to escapes his violence after being violent towards him and continues to drive away, however, she then reverses the car and after several attempts to run him over she gets out of the car and then they both kiss. The kiss at the end of the music video signifies the conventional equilibrium of a love story where the man gets the woman and alls well ends well, however, the narrative building up to the equilibrium breaks conventions throughout.
