The scrapbook (the signifier) is a book to show memories (the signified).

We use this in the music video to convey a deeper meaning that the scrap book shows their past happy life. (The sign) It empathises the fact that the girls life was previously a very happy one, but now various events have occurred to disrupt these happy memories.

It could also represent that the two females are creative people and like to reflect back on their past life.

The mirror (The signifier) shows a persons reflection (The signified).

(The sign)=We used this in our music video as a way to convey to the audience that the female character is reflecting on her past life. Combined with other signs (such as the scrapbook) the audience know that they are looking back at past events and reflecting on how their lives have changed.

Using the shot of driving away (the signifier) shows that they are driving to another destination (the signified).

The reasons we used this shot of the car driving away helps to show the fact that the female characters are leaving their past life behind- moving on. Its symbolic as watching the other cars pass them symbolises by moving on they are watching their past lives go past.

Ripped photo (the signifier) shows a photo is ruined (the signified).

We included this to convey the fact the family in the music video has been torn apart. The idea of putting it in the water shows the photo floating away in different parts- relating to what is happening to that family. Also shows that the photo will forever be ruined, similar to the family.

The dog (the signifier) represents a house hold pet (the signified).

Deeper meaning for using the dog and setting it off the lead links strongly to the idea that the female characters are being set free from their family issues due to the parents splitting up. It could also relate to the idea the dog symbolises them moving on with their lives. Using the dog also indicates that the dog is a strong member of their family and it shows the strong relationship between the girls and their pet.

The eye (the signifier) represents a characters eye (the signified)

We used a shot of an eye within our thriller to represent the characters emotions and allow the audience to feel closer and connected to the character.

The Past Will Haunt You (the signifier) represents the title of a book (the signified)

We used this title within our thriller video to give the audience a clue of what to expect within the thriller and suggest that there will be many clues within the video.

The newspaper (the signifier) gives people news within their local area (the signified).

We used this in our thriller video to show the audience that a crime has gone on and this is what they should expect to see. E.g. a crime has happened in the woods, a young female is died.
