Song Lyric Analysis 

Song title: Missing You
Artist: Crystal

I'm out missing you, no matter what you say
I'll hold onto you.
You always make it right when it should be so wrong
How could I ever let go?

So go on and on play
I'm waiting here for you
Just remember my name
That's all I ask you do
Yeah
Go with that pretty girl
There's nothing here for you

I'm out missing you, no matter what you say
I'll hold onto you.
You always make it right when it should be so wrong
How could I ever let go?

How could you let me go?

I never ask for more
I listened name it all
You went behind my back
Taking everything I had
Yeah
Now leave me, it's okay
You've people here for you

I'm out missing you, no matter what you say
I'll hold onto you
Just remember my name
That's all I ask you do
Yeah
Go with that pretty girl (that pretty girl)
Least someone's here for you
How could I ever let go?
I won't ever let go
How could you let me go?
I guess I'm letting go

      This show that someone finds a positive to each negative someone has in the relationship. We gradually see that these points lead to some kind of self-faith even through their loss of hope. - From this we could show a montage based around a happy and strong relationship.

      All of these are demands but when reading them we can see they're struggling. They are direct but they are made to emphasis the pain they feel so we can attempt to empathise. - Our music video could include the illustration of someone physically saying some of these thing or even acting the notion of them out.

      These are all questions. They're the same one's repeated and from this we get a sense of desperation. - Close ups would be good for some of these moments to capture an emotional scene.

      Repetition. Here's a lot of repetition of "you" and "go". These two words bring emphasis on the loss of a person. (We know it isn't death based because we have the other person being with another woman.) If we put the two words together they say "you go" which is not only a direct order but we feel like the message of a broken relationship is continuously being pushed through and we're constantly being reminded of this. - I think the use of montage and modern clips could show these stages clearly. Luckily our genre usually does this anyway so it would be a good technique to use.

MARK SCHEME

Marking Criteria for Research and Planning

Research and Planning must be presented in digital format. Where candidates have worked as a group, the research may be presented collectively, but each candidate should give a clear indication of their role in any group research and planning and teachers are asked to differentiate the contributions of individuals within the group in arriving at a mark, justifying individual marks on the assessment sheet. As part of the moderation sample, the moderator will expect to see full evidence of the research and planning informing the construction process in order to support assessment.
