For my music video, I would like to make a narrative story, however this will be masked as abstract. I want the audience of my music video to afterwards question what they have watched, and to have to watch it more than once to understand it's meaning. Similar to the music video for "This is Gospel" by "Panic! At The Disco". I want it to shock my audience into understanding the message, and into wanting to re-watch the music video. This will compliment the bipolar disorder aspect to the song I have chosen, Control by Halsey. The abstract style to my video will represent the hallucinations caused by bipolar disorder, however there will still be a strong narrative. The more literal lyrics of the song will be represented in the video, such as "I sat alone, in bed 'til the morning, crying "they're coming for me"" and "I couldn't stand the person inside me, I turned all the mirrors around". I will also use my sisters, (like I did in my AS coursework to create the schoolgirl band "Cisterc") as in Control there are the lyrics "the kids cried out 'please stop you're scaring me'".
Idea 1:
The narrative follows a young woman, the protagonist, who is hallucinating "monsters" and is in a delusional state because of it. The narrative ends with the woman fighting back against one of the "monsters" and killing it. She comes to her senses as the hallucination comes to an end, and it is revealed that the "monster" is someone she knows.
Idea 2:
The narrative will be set in a mental hospital, and will follow patients who are experiencing mental breakdowns. The mental hospital has been left unstaffed, and therefore the patients are let loose. I will include a shock factor by having one patient that kills herself, and another who kills others in the hospital. There will be a lot of bloodshed.
Idea 3:
The narrative follows a young woman who is bound by ropes and weights. They pull her down and drag her places. She stuggles against these weights as they become heavier and heavier, stopping her from moving. She tries anything to cut the ropes, however they remain unbreakable. Towards the end, the ropes start to come undone as she pulls against them, they break and she is finally free.
