Many would immediately distance themselves from a hit man, but in my thriller production XYZ he is put forward and placed in front of them as the supposedly trusting character instead of the antagonist of which he should typically be placed as, making 'novel associations which are useful' (Isaksen and Treffinger, 1993). This juxtaposes the audience's original thoughts and takes them out of their comfort zone, whilst 'rule breaking'. Also, the opening scene being a black and white meeting with a character with hidden identity acts as a form of film-noir where shadows often hide a characters face. The idea of film-noir, and yet a quirky and unusual mask suggests, 'The making of the new and the rearranging of the old' (Bentley, 1997).
My Music Video
'The ability to bring something new into existence' (Anthony Starr) could be seen in the lyrics to visuals in my music video as it is in the form of stop frame animation with something different happening each time the lyrics 'just say you will' are sung. Then again, this could be suggested as 'the making of the new and the rearranging of the old' (Bentley, 1997) as it conforms to Goodwin's principles in new, experimental ways. Also, 'new associations which are useful' (Isaksen and Treffinger, 1993) could apply to my music video as the indie-rock genre has only been prominent in the charts in the last 10 years, meaning the genre's conventions in music videos need to be reinforced, e.g. colourisation, close ups of instruments etcetera.
