mind maps for final major project   created by my group  and other groups  the theme is time. 
What does time mean ? 
Time : Means the indefinite  continued  progress of  existence  and events  in the past present or future regarded as a whole.  
Time is also an illusion .
Flashbacks
Flashbacks : Is a narrative device where a scene or sequence deviates from the main storyline to show events that occurred earlier in time .
Flashback purposes are : 
Reveal characters motivations or relationships 
Add suspense or create tentation 
provide background information  and context for current events 
flashbacks make shows more interesting to watch and make audiences use their brains to figure out what will happen next . 


This movie is  called About Time and is a romcom  stars Rachel McAdam's as Mary and Domhall Glesson . When Tim (Glesson ) learns that all the men in his family can time travel he decides to change his life and find the girl of his dreams . This movie is all about Love , relationships and to cherish every moment and live  fully  in the present even if like Tim you have the ability to travel though time . 

This video is from the  American sitcom Friends  and is from the episode  called The One With The Prom Video from Series 2 episode 14 . The episode shows a young Rachel and Monica getting ready for prom as well as a young ross trying to confess his feelings for Rachel  . This video shows time  by  showing what the characters personality's where like when they were younger and how they have grown up . However what does stay the same is Ross's feelings for Rachel when he younger and older and that is shown in this episode . This is one of the best flashback episodes in Friends . 

Flash-forward 
Flash forward: A scene in a film , novel that is set in  a time later than the main story and is a  narrative device used  to reveal future events , adding anticipation   and tension to the story . 
Flash Forward  purpose : 
Foreshadowing :Flashforwards  can hint at future events and consequences adding depth and complexity to the story . 
Creating Dramatic Irony : the audience can have some knowledge that the charters do not leading to suspense and more of an engagement  from the audience . 
Enhancing character development  :By  revealing future events , flashforwards  can provide insights into characters motivation , actions  as well as the character's personality . 
Adding complexity to the narrative : Flashforwards  can disrupt  the linear structure of a story , making it more engaging  and thought provoking .

 


I am not sure if this the ending from the sitcom or somebody made this but I think it is . This  is the ending from How I Met Your Mother an American sitcom that  has 9 seasons . This clip showcase future events often revealing crucial moments in Ted (the main characters ) love life  and his relationship with robin and Tracey who we find out that is the mother later on . The series uses flashforwards  to build suspense  as well as reveal plot twists including Tracey (the mother) death in the future . 

This music video is called Happier by marshmallow and Bastille  and it was released in 2018 .  The song is lyrics are sad but it showcases the girls life from getting a puppy to becoming a mum herself  and shows the passing the times and explores the  narratives  theme of love , loss and  growth . 

This is a video game called Blinx The Time Sweeper and it is about a character called Blinx that can control and steal time  and slow time down . 

This  video is from the 1985 film The Breakfast club and shows different parts of the film but incorporates time as well.  I have chosen for my final major project . 

This well know song and video by the Spice Girls which is often shown at Christmas called 2 Become 1 relased in 1996  is about  the  joining of two induvials  often meaning in marriage  symbolizing  the creation  of strong bond  and unity . Even if the song doesnt reference time the setting of the music video captures footage of new York at night  and uses time lapse footage to show people going on with life  as normal even if others are heart broken  it also shows the connection  to passage of time and enduring nature of love . 

This 2010s hit and video  released in 2015 by Justin Bieber called What do you mean isn't just a bop  but refer to feeling of confusion and uncertainty in a romantic relationship especially when a persons words and actions don't align leaving the other confused . This song also has a theme of time in it to not only has a ticking sound all the way through the video but has clocks in the video too .The lyrics "said we are running out of time "  suggest urgency and frustration of the situation what Justin is feeling and this can relate not just time but to relationships in real life .

This music video is from Cher and is called Turn back time . The song is about wishing you could go back in time in a relationship and not saying hurtful things . The  lyrics "If I could Turn back Time If I could Find a way " hint that this not only the theme of the song but desire to turn back the clock .This song was released in 1989 . 

Quantum break This game is about time as in the game Jack Joyce has to break the inventon of time with help from his friend Paul 

This is a romcom staring Andrew garfield  and Florence Pugh . Almut and Tobias are brought together by a surprise encounter that changes their lives. As they embark on a path challenged by the limits of time, they learn to cherish each moment of their unconventional love story. This film shows you true love at its finest and all the hurdles and the little wins on the way . This film is about time  and the main message is you cannot have one without the other  but that love is always worth the risk .  In this trailer you can see a lot of transitions been used  to show how fast time goes and how they have changed as people . 

This is the clock from the well know  UK Tv show Countdown . This clock counts down with a catchy tune to tell how players how long they have left to complete questions related to maths or English . Hence it shows time . 

This is an advert for the drink everybody knows and loves Coca cola . This advert is shot in slow motion so you can see the product in more detail . 

This video is from the movie Back To the Future . This clip is towards the end when Doc is trying to Figure  out how to get Marty McFly back from the year 1955 to the present year 1985  with the help  from lighting and the DeLorean .  Time is one of the key themes of this film and time travel is used throughout the whole film . 

This is a music video and a well know song by Madonna called  Hung up .  The song  refences a lot to time it has a clock ticking at the beginning and the lyrics time goes by so slowly  repeated through the song . The song is actually about a strong independent  women facing relationship troubles . It  portrays a woman who is "hung up" in a relationship, but in a way that suggests she's not passively waiting for things to happen, but rather actively pursuing what she wants. As I mentioned about the clock ticking  in the background  is a subtle  but powerful element  that adds  to the songs overall  message of  urgency  and fear of time wasting . 

This is video is an episode from the American sitcom How I Met Your Mother called Time Travels from series 8 episode 20 . This episode is especially about time and shows time travel streamed through Ted  the main character's  imagination . Ted only used time travel to realize  that  all of his friends were too busy for him .

This is Us :Kevin, Kate and Randall, three siblings, go through unique personal struggles at different intervals of life as they try to find happiness and get over a tragedy in their past.​​​​​​​  Time  is related in this Television programmer because most of the episodes in This is us feature a timeline taking place from 2016 to 2022 contemporaneous  with airing . Some episodes are set in one period or used in multiple flashback time periods .
Phineas and Ferb : Phineas and Ferb embark on various adventures during their summer vacation, while trying to keep their sister from interfering with their plans. Even though this kids animated show sounds like time isn't involved in the plot at all it is in the episode Its about time in series 1 episode 21 where Phineas and ferb repair a broke time machine from the museum and accidently take their sister Candance with them . Even in the theme tune Time is referenced as  the Creator Scott they'd only get about 52 episodes, with two segments each. That approximates 104 days. And 2. It's a completely different universe, so society could have developed differently in Phineas and Ferb's world, allowing for 104 days of summer vacation
The O.C : This US 200s Teen Drama is about Ryan Atwood a troubled and gifted young teenager from a broken home who is  adopted by a wealthy and philanthropic Sandy and Kirsten Cohen and makes friends with quick witted son Seth .

Music videos that are about time and use time  : 
There are many music videos about time . here are some examples . 
Hung up  Madonna : Not only does it have a clock ticking around in the background of the song it has a bit of abba Gimme Gimme in their to This song focuses on and means about  Women waiting for men to talk them back and them not calling back . The lyrics Hung Up on you meaning you are obsessed with that person or madly in love with that person 
 However, reading on further from the lyrics of the song, it seems that the romantic feelings for the person which are being given out by the person aren't being returned by the other person and hence he/she is tired/fed up of waiting.
Turn Back time Cher : the meaning is the feeling of remorse due to bad deeds and the willingness to reverse to make things right 
Time after time   Cyndi Lauper : this song is about many occasions  very often or frequently .

In the  music video there is a lot of flashbacks from when things happened to now to show how time has pasted. 
Time Pink Floyd : This song has the theme of time throughout as the song is actually called time .The music video incorporates time by  adding very visual images of clocks in the  videos . The main singer in the band got the idea for the song when he realized  he was longer preparing for anything in his life but was right in the middle of it . The lyrics to this song are to deal with passage  of time .  
2 Become 1 Spice Girls : This song is probably one of the spice girls most popular songs even if the song is not really about time its self  the music video uses time  lapse footage of time  square in New York  at night  suggesting  a connection  to the passage  of time  and the enduring nature of love .

From this spell that makes her turn 30 it makes her and all her friends grow up even her best friend Matt (Mark Ruffalo ) . This movie is a romantic comedy and the main message is learning about the friendships you make on the way and and loyalty trumps power and prestige . Another message from this film is don't wish to grow up  or it may just happen ! I think the use of time is used by when the characters are turned older they seem mature but yet still have the childish nature inside of them which shows we still have our inner child  inside of us  and that's  what the film portrays .

Ideas and primary research for final Major project to  do with the theme Time : 
 

What is the song about  ? 
The meaning of the song Hung up is  about feeling  of being emotionally   stuck partially on a relationship and the frustrations and impatience that come with it . The song uses the metaphor of being Hung up which is what the song is called to described this emotional roller-coaster of emotions  with the repetition of time goes by so slowly  lyrics from the song  suggesting the pain of waiting . 
However this song has the remix of Gimme Gimme a man after midnight so it also has a dance theme to it too . 

Photos of Madonna's Confessions on the Dance floor album and photos and screenshots from Hung up music video 
Madonna Facts 
Madonna Louise   Ciccone  is a  american  singer songwriter  , record producer as well as an actress  and  is known as the Queen of Pop . Madonna has been recognised for her continual reinvention in music production , song writing  and visual  presentation.  She was born on  16th of august 1958 Bay city , Michigan ,United states .  She was married to actor Sean penn  but apart from that made some iconic songs such as Hung Up , Material Girl , Lucky Star , Into the Groove  , Like a virgin  , Papa don't preach and of corse her  well known song and  that has been making us moving and grooving on the dance floor  Vogue !  Madonna is responsible for giving us albums like celebration , Confessions On the Dance Floor  and Immaculate collection . She has had 13 number one singles  and 12  number  one albums in the UK . Madonna  first song  was Everybody  which  was released as a debut single  in 1982 . The song everybody also features on the album celebration  which was released in  2009 . 
Apart from music madonna is famous  for her outfits that she wore in the 80s and the 90s especially the pink satin  cone bra which  was designed for her Blond ambition tour in 1990 . Another Famous outfit Madonna wore was the famous pink dress from Marilyn Monroe for her material girl video released in 1985 . 
Hung up music video   fashion   choices : 
The hung Up video show Madonna in  a Pink Leotard which is a tribute to John Travolta and the disco era . the video features madonna in  her fuchsia wrap top over body suit as well as scenes of people dancing  in lots of different locations such as  a nightclub,  ballet studio , a restaurant  and even London underground . The video fashion choices especially the pink leotard and wrap top draw inspiration from 1970s  and dance styles . 
varied settings and styles : 
The video showcases Madonna dancing as well as some people dancing in a variety of settings from ballet studio  to London underground this is reflecting the songs theme of being hung up and even showing time and different locations in the process  and instead of been Hung up on someone or something dance your way through  it which is actually what type of energy  the song brings . 
Madonnas energy 
As well as this song been a tribute to disco this song shows Madonnas powerful  and engerteic performance . The song Hung Up is about trying to be an indepent women and trying not be hung up over a relationship and not waiting anymore and Madonna is trying to show that women can be indepent and dont all need a men in there life . The lyrics talk about  a women who is not easily controlled by others and in control of her own destiny .






Madonna Hung up Official Video 2005 

The Breakfast Club Don't You Forget about me 1985 

Simple minds Dont you forget about me 1985 

What is the Breakfast club about ? 
The Breakfast Club is  about Five students all with different mindsets face detainment in school library  on a Saturday morning . As time passes by , their egos are busted  and differences are put aside and they become close buddies . 
The Breakfast Club Facts : 
The Breakfast Club was released on 7th of June 1985 and directed by John Hughes who is known for directing and writing iconic 80s teen movies such as The Breakfast Club , Ferris Buellers Day Off and Sixteen Candles . 
However the Breakfast Club is not just a coming of the age comedy drama staring Molly Ringwald , Emilo Estvez , Antony Michael Hall , Ally Sheedy and Judd Nelson  its a film with lots of different themes such as love  and  relationships , social alienation, belonging  and breaking down stereotypes.  This means just because the characters are put into groups:  The Brain , the  Criminal, the Princess, the Jock and the Basket Case it does not mean they don't have things in common. They may even be going through the same things . This movie also teaches us that despite our perceived differences there is more than meets the eye and we have more than common than you may think with others. 
The main message of  The Breakfast Club is the constant struggle of the American teenager to be understood by adults and by themselves.
How is time shown in The Breakfast Club ? 
The Breakfast Club has a pretty strong theme of time throughout the theme both literal and metaphorically . 
The  main plot of the film revolves around the nine hour detention, a time frame during the day they spend together in School.  They start to change their opinions of each after no longer believing what they parents have told them and new friendships are formed .Throughout  spending this day together, they start to realise that their time in high school is a very short period of time in their lives and something they will never go through again. 
Fashion style in The Breakfast Club : 
The fashion in the Breakfast club shows and serves as a visual representation of each of the characters personality's , social status and internal struggles . The film shows the way we allow to dress ourselves allows to express who we are and who we want to be . 
Andrew (Athlete) The Jock : Emilo Estevez : The clothing that he wears is typically  sporty as well as functional . The athletic wear shows the symbol of his overbearing fathers expectations . 
Allision Reynolds (The Basket Case )  Ally Sheedy : The clothing wore by this characters is black clothing and wardrobe is unstylish as well as her backpack filled with doodles this is reflecting on the characters feelings being overlooked and misunderstood by people around her . 
John Bender (The crimmal ) Judd Nelson : His fashion sense is rebellious and edgy . The leather jacket , fingerless gloves  reflected on his tough guy personality and options on the authority. 
Claire Standish (The princess ) Molly Ringwald  : Claire wears clothes such as ralph Lauren inspired look to show her social  class and sophistication . However she also wears the colour pink which is a traditional colour for the popular girl to wear and make audience to think they are perfect and have no issues what so ever but as time goes by we see the colour means the opposite . 
Brain Johnson (The Brain ) Anthony Michael Hall :This character just wears basic fashion choices wearing high wasted khakis , a fishman's knit these fashion choices show that he cares more  about cleverness than  appearances  which he has been told to do by his parents . 
Don't you forget about me simple minds :
This song was released in 1985 by Scottish rock band simple band . This song is well known from been from The Breakfast Club Movie . The song was inspired by a  scene  in which a introvert and a school bully bond while none is watching . But at the end of the day when they are back in the classroom when they are from different worlds and the singers from simple minds commented that at the end of the day your a bad guy and we have nothing in common . 
 









My two main ideas 
Idea 1 : I really want to do a music video and sticking to the key theme time I am going to do a music video using the song Hung up By Madonna . This song has time references  throughout the song and even has a clock  ticking in a background .. 
I would show how time passes in relationships  moving on  and becoming your own person which is what the song is about I would recreate the video a different way as I don't have locations such as London Underground and nightclubs so I would use different locations round college . 
Idea 2 : I really want to create a recreation video sticking to the theme of time  using the song Dont you forget about me from the Breakfast club . The film shows time throughout from the students at the begainning not really speaking to them becoming close  and time frame in detetainion . 
I would use locations around college for this video as the breakfast club is set in a school 
music video idea I had in mind but going to change . 
This is my microft form for my madonna hung up music video which is one of my ideas but I changed it so I made another form but I will keep this on here as evidence . 
 In the process of making a Microsoft  form which is going to have questions related time on it  to send to level 2 media students in my class . This is primary research this will help me with my final major project . 
I just made a Microsoft form  asking students in my level 2 media class  and media  teacher james  about the theme time . For this question I asked people to rank some songs related to time as I am going  to a music video  and most people so far has chosen Hung up by madonna which I am going to do as my main idea .  
For this question I ask people what people think of when they think of time to help me devlevolp my ideas for my music video the majority of people  said  when the word time comes to mind Time Travel . 
This primary research from this Microsoft form will help me with my final major project . The question I asked  is What locations should  around college should I use in my  music video ? according to the help of my primary research people  suggested i should the outside areas  and rooms around college , Library , studio and peoples park a park that is not far  from the college . Thanks to this primary research I have got some ideas where I would want to film for my time music video . 
Another question from Microsoft form  that is primary research and will help me with  my final major project and I asked was As I am making a music video on  the theme time what sort of things do I need to make it successful ?  according the form most people said aspects of time . Such as flashbacks , good camera work and camera angles  and have objects like clocks and time in the video which i will. definitely take into account when making my music video . 
I also wanted to see how long a music video should be so i asked this question on my primary research Microsoft form most people answered 3 to 5 mins but I will keep in mind the brief which is 2 .5 to 5 mins . 
This question is not to do with my idea but  I asked a general question for the final project Do you think time is a  good theme ?  according to my primary research  majority of people said yes  and loved it ! 
I  agree with my peers as time is a good  theme and  can be   shown in many different ways . 
Microsoft  form for main idea which is now Breakfast club recreation video 
This is my new microft form I made which I have sent out to Level 2 media students and my media teacher James  with questions related to the brief time . This is also primary research which will help me with my final major project  and help me with my ideas .
I made a microft form and sent it out to level 2 media students  and asked  the question for my final major project  related to time what locations should I use ?  The majority of people  said I should locations around college which would make sense as the breakfast club movie setting is in a high school . 
Another question I asked to on my form to help me with my primary research  is How long a recreation video should be ? according to my form most people said 3 to 5 mins . The video I have chosen to do is 4 mins and 24 seconds . 
To help me with my final major project and the practical side of it . I wanted to know what sort of camera angles I should use . I had  a few a answers like tilt and zoom but a few people said use the camera angles that are shown in the recreation which it helpful and will make it look like the real thing .
I also did a rank the movies  questions to get an idea of what everyone's favourite movies related to do with time were  which gave me ideas to help me with my final major project. 
For my primary research further I put the question on my microft form  to make a recreation video  what things do you need to make it successful ? according to my form to make a recreation  video successful I would need to stick to the them which in this case is time so I would use objects as clock  or watch in my project  as well as evidence such as research and behind scenes photos when doing my assignment .



 

I asked the question do you think time is a good theme as a general question on my form most people who answered my form said yes it is a good theme . 
I agree with my peers as you can show and interpret time in different ways and this final major project allows you to do this .  
Main idea : 
My idea  for my final major project is to create a recreation video from the movie the breakfast club . This film shows time because the characters are stuck in an 9 hour detention at school  in this time they get to find out about each other  and know about each other backgrounds and towards the end they become close friends . 
Camera angles I would use : I would use the similar camera angles to what are in the recreation to make my recreation same to the original . 
I would edit it professionally on premire pro . 
Equipment  I would need : 
Sony 160  Big camera 
behind the scenes camera 
Tripod 
Big clock 
People : 
Freya : Claire 
Rhys :Connor 
Ruby : Allison 
Vali : John 
Brandan : Andrew 
Locations  I would use : There is lots of different locations used in the Breakfast club and it is set in a high school so in my recreation I could show different parts of the college such as media classroom , sport corridor  , media corridors , library , stairs and even outside for the beginning . 


 Here are some photos  I took of me watching the Breakfast Club to get an  idea of what the film was really about , locations to use around collage and what outfits people would need . 
This is my presentation video  for my final major project .  which I presented in front people in my level 2 class  and communicated  my ideas to peers and James my media tutor .
