More postmodernism

As we have been filming and editing, we have found more ways to make our video postmodern and other references that we have been able to put in. Here are the other postmodern elements (aside from the ones I have already mentioned in previous posts)

When we filmed the band, one of the members was wearing a Pour Habit t-shirt, we decided to keep this in our video as it shows influence's, Splutter (our chosen band) have had, and what band's they have gained inspiration from.


A different postmodern element we've included in our music video is a reference to Kick Ass the film, where the teenager is seen throwing tissues into the bin, an act that we have tried to mirror in our music video. We did this because Kick Ass is a very well-known and popular film for people within our target audience, so the reference should be easily recognised.


Another postmodern reference we have included is Red Bull the energy drink, our main character drinks this whilst running and suddenly speeds up rapidly. This is also a reference to Popeye the cartoon sailor on whom spinach the vegetable had the same effect.


A final postmodern element we have managed to put into our music video is from the film Rocky, where the main character has a particularly well known action, which is the same one that our main character does in our video.
