After attending the BFI (British Film Institute), my group and I have started to think up new ideas for our music video, based on ideas we got from previous years' videos.
Our initial idea was to create a narrative around a young woman who has a multiple personality disorder, which affects everything and everyone around her, particularly her romantic relationship, of which we were inspired by Jhene Aiko 'Spotless Mind' and Taylor Swift 'Blank Space'.
After pondering on whether we wanted to include a male protagonist due to previous situations where our male protagonist was unable to make the times we wanted to film, we have decided to take out the male protagonist and have a narrative which is mainly focused on the woman and her disorder.
Although we have taken out the male protagonist from our music video, we have decided to leave the hospital scene which would feature the female protagonist held by a group of people, who she tries to get away from. We will then develop on this idea. The female is a young woman who is troubled by something, and is being held by people who the audience don't recognise, as their faces will not be revealed. At the end of the hospital scene, she is injected with something which makes her fall asleep. We will then cut to a setting which is lonely and isolated, where we see the female protagonist. She thinks she is free, and starts to explore her surroundings, thinking she is free. At the end of this scene, she wakes up back in her hospital bed, and realises that she is still tied down and isn't free at all.
The idea that we are trying to convey is her cry for escape from her mental illness. She is incarcerated and wants a form of escape.
