The genre of this track is psychedelic rock(ish) and displays trypical characteristics of this genre through litery-inspired lyrics and quite surreal animations. They use vivid colours and images related to hallucination. The title 'Lucy in the sky with diamonds' refers to LSD a drug quite often connected with this particular genre. The lyrics are very whimsical and the visuals display this with very fantasy-related images which move in a very hypnotic way. The visuals show the animations in brains, which fits in with the lyric 'picture yourself' which infers the whole song is related to imagination and surreal scenarios inside your mind.
The starting verse if the song is quite slow and trance-like. The video relflects this with animations that have moving patterns inside, but are not moving themselves. The clips are editied in time with the music, as when the music increases in tempo the animations change to something which is moving faster.
There are close-ups of the animated version of John Lennon and long shots which show him walking through this surreal world. There are also close-ups of animations which move in time with the music.
I think this video is narrative because it shows a story of John Lennon travelling through a world which matches in pace with the esoterically inspired lyrics. The Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds music video is a snippit from the film Yellow Submarine, and therefore backs up the point of being narritive.
The video that is already created shows an animated world; we have decided to create a 'real life' revision of the song, to recreate the created world by The Beatles.
