Deconstruction of Lyrics (Todorov and Levi Strauss' example)

In this video it shows Todorov's theory on narrative which states that the images and events should be in a chronological order. However, this video also shows Levi Strauss' idea of binary opposites which states that events and images do not have to be in chronological order. As long as there are two opposites with a dispute, the media will work. In this video we added an effect to the piece of film to determine what is in the future/past and what is in the present.

For our music video we will be using Todorov's theory. This is mainly due the the fact that we are using narrative and performance and to use Levi Strauss' idea of binary opposites may confuse the audience and be a bit too complicated. It will also be a basic idea and will therefore work better if it is put in chronological order.
