Research - Director: Lindy Heymann

Lindy Heymann is a British writer and director, who graduated from Central/St Martins with a BA in Fine Art/Film. Films that she has worked on include 'The Real Fawlty Towers', 'Kissing Buba', and 'Showboy'. I have noticed that a lot of her work comes in the form of documentaries, or "mockumentaries". This is a really interesting and different way of capturing something, and is not something found regularly in mainstream popular culture. It called also provide a good creative point upon which I could develop and create my music video, as it does not necessarily have to follow the theories of Negus, Dyer, Adorne, and other film theorists. This is because with a "mockumentary", there is the sense that the film should be taken light heartedly, and therefore I could move away from the idea that my music video must present my artist in an iconic, positive way, and perhaps use the video to create a down to earth character from my "star". In this sense it could follow Negus' theory of organic ideology.
