After asking people for feedback on my storyboards and the filming I had done so far, the majority said that "there is too much going on" and "there's not really a clear story"; all of this was true as my previous idea for a music video was mainly imagery and ideas simply to make the video look 'pretty', but there was too many things that weren't connected and the video didn't tell a story, so I changed my ideas one last time.
In my new video, the story about my main character will be more apparent; my original idea was to tell the story of a boy (young adult) who is trying to 'get-over' the end of his relationship with a girl - he leaves his house, and all the unwanted memories of her, and goes outside to feel more free. He ventures into a dark forest with a lot of trees that block out the sun and a lack of plants and flowers, but after a while he comes out of the forest into an open area where the surroundings are green and have plants and flowers and the sun is shining.
Grey house - living with memories of lost love, dwelling, alone.
Leaving house and goes outside - first step to being free.
Driving away - escaping memories and unhappiness.
Dark forest (quite barren) - troubles and personal struggles.
Coming out onto open plain - 'coming into the light' and overcoming struggles, coming out of the sadness.
Sunshine, green plants and flowers - Free, overcame troubles and the past, moved on and happy.
Also, there is no female starring actor (only a few photos at the beginning of a girl - meant to be his 'ex'), this is because I want my video to emphasise the male's loneliness and the fact the girl really isn't with him anymore - this links into my video and how the boy tries to escape this isolation and loneliness, and overcome his sadness and move on.
