How can we describe and analyse narrative in your music video?

   The music video that we are producing for 'He Never Shows' by Pom-Pom Squad is a closed text with a linear narrative structure. Our narrative follows Todorov's principle of the three act structure (consisting of equilibrium, disequilibrium and new equilibrium). For the first act, our music video begins in the protagonist's bedroom, until she receives a text message from her boyfriend - considering Barthes' theory of narrative codes, this could be considered a proairetic code which also functions as the inciting incident for disequilibrium. Our opening could also act as a framing device because we will use it to introduce the character, using props in her bedroom for character exposition. The second act (disequilibrium) involves our character hoping to achieve a resolution by going to reconcile with her boyfriend. However, he doesn't show up and the new equilibrium established involves her rejecting the unhealthy relationship; our protagonist will be shown throwing her mobile phone into the lake where they had planned to meet as a symbolic code to signify this.
