Planning narrative

Narrative/thematic

Male and female

Female - Rosie: Dream world/daydreaming

Male - ?: Dark, foggy, idea of sin

Seven deadly sins:

Pride is excessive belief in one's own abilities, that interferes with the individual's recognition of the grace of God. It has been called the sin from which all others arise. Pride is also known as Vanity.

Envy is the desire for others' traits, status, abilities, or situation.

Gluttony is an inordinate desire to consume more than that which one requires.

Lust is an inordinate craving for the pleasures of the body.

Anger is manifested in the individual who spurns love and opts instead for fury. It is also known as Wrath.

Greed is the desire for material wealth or gain, ignoring the realm of the spiritual. It is also called Avarice or Covetousness.

Sloth is the avoidance of physical or spiritual work.

Cuts between male protagonist who commits the deadly sins (without making it blatantly obvious that the seven sins are referenced, just inferred) perhaps looking at photo of female character that he can't reach due to the sins. chorus more montage of female character in place that contrasts heavily with his life. The end of the music video may show him stepping away from the sin and joining her in the idillic land. 

Pride: Vanity

Envy: Jealousy of female protagonist with another male character

Gluttony: Drinking and loosing control

Lust: Lust is theme of video essentially 

Anger: Punching wall/smashing glass - potentially slow motion smashing

Greed: 

Sloth: Laziness 

Extracts of the lyrics:

I cry at your feet, wounded for me
And all of the monsters and men

But here in your light

We can begin again 

Focusing on the notion that she can be his saviour and he is going to change because of her

Had to learn to get what I need
In the dark, empty
Instincts are guiding me
Like a beast to some blood
And I can't get enough

'like a beast to some blood' could be a reference to the alcohol

skull makeup - main chracter
have makeup smudging from middle until he has a 'clean' face at the end when with female character

Stylised video 

In the sense that movies by directors such as Tim Burton all have an extra quality such as the unusual characters and mise en scene, my video will be stylised so that the story is not just a generic theme about girl meets boy and so on. 

Shallow focus/blurred edges of shots which could be achieved in post production.

Intertextuality

Within American Horror story, which I have used as a reference point when creating the skeleton makeup, there are several shots filmed in a hallway of people reacting to the character Tate. I want to try and replicate these reactions to Ollie in the hallway within school.
