Things got even more exciting in their post-show interviews, where they seem to be completely plastered. The boys won their first Brit Award in February of 2012, which came as no surprise to their fans but apparently a huge surprise to them. Starting as just simple shenanigans on the stairs and graduating to a full-fledged tour diary during their debut Up All Night Tour, these videos not only gave us classic 1D lines like “No, Jimmy protested!” and spin-off episodes like “Spin the Harry,” but they also made us fall totally and irreparably in love. The Video Diaries, premiering on the One Direction Youtube channel during their time on The X Factor, was a lot of fans’ initial introduction to the band. So, to commemorate the milestone and take a much-needed trip down memory lane, we’ve compiled a list of One Direction’s most unforgettable moments, proving that we do, in fact, have a whole lot of history. And since 1D fans practically invented “stan” culture, it’s no surprise that their loyalty knows no bounds to this day.Īnd even though all five boys are thriving post-1D, we can’t help but get sentimental ahead of this landmark anniversary. From that painful day on March 25 to the release of This is Us, and even our cringiest moments as teens (does anyone remember 1D Imagines? Just me? Okay), this band has defined a lot of our lives (and emotional capacities) for the past decade. Needless to say, being a One Direction fan has been an emotional rollercoaster since the very beginning – and they continue getting our heart rates up nearly five years after their last performance as a group (sans Zayn). But one thing is certain: all fans really want is to see the five boys that started off on those iconic X Factor stairs interacting and laughing together again. Many believe a reunion is in the works others think it may be an official breakup announcement (which we never really got, after all). Whereas the camera often zooms in and out on the 'present day' band, often either side of the black and white clips, I think this is symbolic of perspective and the zooming in/out is the director changing out perspective on the band - hence why it comes before and after.Tomorrow! You and me got a whole lot of history #10YearsOf1DĪ post shared by One Direction on at 6:09am PDTĪlthough the group previously announced that their anniversary special will include some new archival content, including music videos and behind-the-scenes footage, 1D fans took to social media to speculate what exactly will go down on July 23, the day that Niall, Harry, Liam, Louis, and Zayn were put together as a group on The X Factor after auditioning as solo artists. On the majority of the shots of 'the past,' the camera stays pretty still as if it is just an observation - somebody looking in on/at One Direction and their career.
ONE DIRECTION 1 VIDEO DIARY CODE
The second technical code that is a use of Binary Oppositions is the use of the camera.
Because of the dullness of the black and white filter, when the shot moves back to the boys singing to us, it feels almost more fresh, the colour seems brighter and it just generally feels more in the moment and more pleasant. A mixed bag of emotions and, regardless of how they feel about it, knowing that everything is going to be different now One Direction is finished. In colour theory, black is evil and white is good, the use of the filter could be a message of the mixed emotions about One direction and it being over. The music video uses black and white to show to make the old clips stand out more and really bring home that change between then and now. The first of which being the use of colour, or therefore lack of. Either way, the use of black and white makes the rational "Directioner" emotional.īinary Oppositions are used in this music video through the technical codes. I say unspecified because some viewers will find the "throwback" shots happy and a celebration of their 5 years together and others will find them sad and a sign these times weren't the happy times they seemed to be. The use of black and white is an intentional move from the directors in order to, not only differentiate between the past and present but also to, provoke an unspecified emotion in the audience. Between Niall's vocal and shot dominance takeover, there is more clips of the boys in Black and White. For fans that have followed them from the beginning, just these few seconds of shots will have given them an extreme feeling of nostalgia - setting the tone for the rest of the video.
ONE DIRECTION 1 VIDEO DIARY SERIES
The rest of the first 17 seconds flip between a modern day (at the time) Harry singing into the camera and the series of events that followed it, them finding out they have been put together and their first hug as a band. The opening shot, a black and white clip of the original 5 members stranding on the X Factor stage waiting to find out whether or not they're about to become a band.
