IMAGINE DRAGONS- PAUL ZIZKA ARTIST ARTIST PRESENTATION

Imagine Dragons On top of the World

I have chosen this song because I believe that it contains

some elements that I believe can contain some truth Ive tried to cut these corners, tried to take the easy way out, I kept on falling short of something. The lyrics im on top of the world can be taken in a variety of different ways because It could mean that the people feel like they are on top of the world or it could mean that they are actually on top of the world

Paul Zizka
I have chosen his work

because i have heard of him before and know his work well enough to justify choosing him to represent me and looking at his work I think that It relates to the song that I have chosen and because it is pictures from all over the world it represents me well. I like to go exploring and I enjoy being outside whenever I can.

Why have I chosen these?

I have chosen these because I was

first made aware of Imagine dragons when it was used in a music video that I was apart of, and I really liked the song that was used (Radioactive) and so I researched some more songs and came up with this. I also think that It does have some meaning to it because I have had times when I felt like I was on top of the world and I think that I also have cut some corners to get there so I think that this song has elements of truth that I can relate to.

Semantic codes
The images that I have chosen I think relate to the song

that I have chosen because the lyrics talk about being on top of the world and some of the images show people being on top of some mountains which is being classed as on top of the world. So the interpretation of what they lyrics mean is up to you and the way that you might feel.

Cultural codes
I dont believe that this song has any cultural meaning in

its lyrics or any cultural reference in the images, but in some of the images I have used the Northern Aurora lights and to some people this is the barrier for the sprits that are traveling to heaven.

Symbolic Codes
I think that the images that I have used symbolises the

beauty of nature and it symbolises the outdoors as well because the majority have been taken from a remote area of the world. I also think that the lyrics symbolises what a person might go through in their lives, cutting corners to find the easy way out.
