Enigma Update #4

Enigma: Detailed Shot List

Me and Becky spent roughly two hours sorting out shots, camera angles and timings. We came up with a rough guide and I have typed it up into a neat table online. Next to sort out is the lights. 

The shot list is what we have roughly pictured in our heads.

Enigma: Further Planning

Me and Becky spent just over an hour working on the visuals of the video to the song, as the song played we imaged shots and who it transition to. 

In the second hour, me and Becky looked up powder paint. We went to see Miss Lee, in art as she has some. She gave us the Epso catalogue, so we could buy paint without paying VAT. We went to the finance offer, who then took our paper signed by Miss Webb (Media) to allow us to spend money from the media's budget. We will pay the media department for what we owe. 

1950's Teddy Boys

Teddy Boys

Teddy boys were recognised for their Edwardian dress e.g. 'Teddy'. They experiment with 'dandy' fashion and appearences and practices as an antidote to Poverty (Fywell 1963). They listen to American Rock and Roll music, musicians such as James Dean and Elvis Presley (Brak 1985). They both use narcissim and dandyism at the same time.

Teddy boys are assoicaited with violences derived from a 'butch' dandyism, which sought to protest working class mascunlinity. They were apparently worse in the winter as there was a lack of jobs and lack of access of places to go. In the Evening Argus article they are said to be this way, because they lack religious beliefs, which puts them in the darkness.

In previous articles they were described as 'teenage terrorists' to create a public scare in articles. In the article Get Rid of Them, they were described as 'very nauseating specimens of English youth,' and  'They are an awful disgrace to Brighton'.

In the articles aggressive language is used to exaggerate the behaviour of the group. The other party involved in are described as minor and small, suggesting the Teddy Boys are big brutes, but are at the bottom of the authority ladder. The Teddy Boys are easy to point the blame at in the media, because they have this reputation.

Enigma: Lyrics Annotations

After the meeting today (Saturday 21st September) I got the lyrics from James, and I annotated the lyrics into my interpretation. Ryan texted me saying that the day all the band can film is on the 27th of October. So that has become the filming day. 

Enigma: Lyrics "Enigma"

Enigma

Verse:

Do you believe life is full of surprises?

A present knocking at your door,

But if you keep your heart strong,

You can rise above it all...

Chorus:

Love is a crossword,

Like an Enigma made with words,

We're all searching for the answer

In this big wide universe,

Moments working out what went wrong,

When you couldn't find the time to realise.

Verse 2:

Have you find the harder you try,

The harder you seem to fall,

But if you lift yourself up,

You can fight the world..

Chorus:

Love is a crossword,

Like an Enigma made with words,

We're all searching for the answer

In this big wide universe,

Moments working out what went wrong,

When you couldn't find the time to realise.

Bridge/Solo

Chorus:

Chorus:

Love is a crossword,

Like an Enigma made with words,

We're all searching for the answer..

In this big wide universe,

Moments working out what went wrong,

When you couldn't find the time to realise.

End.
