These lyrics can be interpreted in two different ways. The first way being as a romance lyrics all about being regretted by a woman, being ‘shot down.’ In the setting of Nottingham, this being clear by the use of colloquial language being used throughout the songs.
Another way of interpreting the lyrics is by the band explaining and singing their lyrics about regretting the fashion style that is around at the moment, and trying to bring back the past regretting their childhood upbringing and lack of fashion awareness, trying to get people to stop copying fashion ‘parrot fashion’ and make their own mark on their own fashion statements. They use colloquial phrases to emphasize their setting of Nottingham but also to emphasize the fashion of Nottingham ‘penny loafers.’ Giving the message to the audience that they should make their fashion statements and honor the fashion of the past.

Take That Animatic



Here is an animatic video we produced in order to help us with the making of my music video. To produce this animatic video we worked in pairs within the class. We chose a song which we believed were similar to our target audience and of similar genre to our own band. In order to make this animatic we had to watch the original music video of The Take That song- Patience. We watched the video and wrote down a shot list of what shots were in the video, exploring the different camera angels and panning and tracking shots. Once we had wrote down our shot list we drew our own storyboards taking it in turns to draw each shot in each picture. Once we had completed our drawings we uploaded them to IMovie. Once uploaded we then went back to original music video by Take That and timed each of the shots in order to make our storyboard shots the exact same timing. Once we completed changing all of the storyboard shots timing. We then finally had completed our animatic.

By producing this animatic it helped us realise how important timing is in a music video, each point second that is out of place can change the whole outcome of the music video. Personally it helped me to reengage with IMovie and helped me towards making my own music video.
