Developing the conceptual idea

Keeping with the conceptual idea, we felt that in order to develop the music video further we needed a slight narative within the revealed images. Additionally, we felt that the concept parts of the video needed to hold a deeper meaning, therefore, create narratives to reflect what the audience are seeing and so felt that a more interesting idea would be to have a story following a man who wants to commit suicide, thus, have shots using the lamps of a man turning rope, a knife, a chair and potentially the man could be in the corner looking up in a sinister way.



We also decided to have a man think of himself as a magician and these different shots would indicate the bizarre world that we wished to created through the conceptual idea. The different shots will show different stages of a magic trick and have chosen to use a YouTube video of a man doing a card trick as our inspiration:



I particularly liked the idea of the cracked Ace of hearts card because it gave it an unexplained and eerie atmosphere. Additionally, as a continuation from the conceptual idea, we wanted both excerpts to be slightly obscure and random but to make the audience think of it afterwards.
