Using easily recognisable iconography if something that, if used successfully, can be something that makes the music videos narrative easy to follow. for example using the iconic image of the artist standing outside of thier ex's house holding a stereo ( From the film Say Anything) represents love and companionship. The problem is this technique has been done so much in the past that it has almost become cliche; similar to using the concept of Romeo and Juliet.
We have decided to not use any specific iconic scenes from other forms of media in our video, we might use other signs and signifiers that we discovered by researching theorists such as Goodwin, Carol Vernallis and Laure Mulvey. For example using different shots expressing the male and female gaze.
