Analysed Song Lyrics

These are the lyrics to Alex's song 'Against The Wind' which I have analysed (in red pen) to show the deeper meaning I wish to portray through the music video. The song is all about breaking free from the crowd, being yourself and not caring about what other people think of you. I think every teenager can relate to these lyrics as we all go through moments like these in our lives, so this song will appeal to the target audience of 14 - 19 year olds - particularly girls.
 
I have also written down some of my initial ideas for the music video (in green pen) which will illustrate or amplify the lyrics of the song (thus following Andrew Goodwin's music video theory). One of my main ideas is to film most of the shots in an outside location as the lyrics are constantly referencing nature (particularly birds).
 
Alex and I have taken on a collaborative working relationship for creating this music video as she wrote the song and is voicing her own views on what she wants to convey through the video which I am taking on board. Alex is my sister which is good as we both work well together, understand one another and listen to each others ideas, we also both have a very similar vision for the music video.
