Music video Idea

After some research and my survey, I have come up with an idea for the video. Very basically, the video will be about a girl trying to get out of depression, but this idea is disguised.

The idea behind the video is that it is of a girl, who for an unknown reason, hasn't been outside for a while, if ever, but is obsessed with it. She has read about it, and is always imagining about it, but is too scared to take the final step outside. She has trapped herself in her house, like how someone may trap themselves into their depression.

To show this, I will have the girl trying to uncover a window that has been covered, as well as her reading books and imaging what it must be like outside. This shows her trying to get out, she knows she has to but is too scared of what might happen. At the end of the song, she will finally get the courage to go outside, taking her first step to recovery.

The video will also have lip syncing, where the girl's face will be painted to resemble a sky, to further show this obsession and it shows the link between the song, and the video.

The facepaint, her imagination and her reading books of the outside can also been seen as antidepressants, as it is something she does to try help get herself out of her house, or depression.

While avoiding the main answers I collected from my survey, relationships, night and love, I kept still included some of the less popular ideas such as 'glimpse of light', longing, forest, sky, clouds, light, sadness, broken and story. This then makes the video itself not as expected as the common images people think of are not used, while at the same time, it is expected as it using some of the other images it conjures up, just the less popular ones.

The video will also keep people interested as after the first part, the audience will want to know why is she afraid of looking outside, will she ever get over it? I think keeping peoples interest is important for my video as it is about four minutes long, and so if an interesting story isn't involved, it may get boring.
