Concepts for our Music Video

Now that we've established what the song is about, it's time to decide on a concept for our music video.

My team and I sat together and brainstormed various themes and ideas we would like to incorporate in our music video:

Moving On:

The music video would start out as the song implies, hung over a person who clearly doesn't reciprocate the extent of their devotion and affection. The protagonist of the music video would continue their efforts at ignoring circumstances until a shift in the current equilibrium occurs, making them realise how unhealthy their relationship actually is, leading them to discover their sovereign self. 

Post Break Up Loneliness:

This concept would deal with the themes of coping with loneliness and the often ugly symptoms it can rear such as depression, anti social behavior, low self-esteem etc. In this concept, however, there is no happy ending, her lover moves on quick while she remains in her bubble of misery, slowly isolating herself from the world.

Change:

The music video would depict a girl who has recently moved to a new city but drags old ties along with her. She is conflicted since she doesn't understand how to adapt to the ever changing landscape while maintaining what she thinks are her deteriorating relationships. Eventually, however, she finds a balance between the two, achieving happiness.

Obsession:

This concept takes a slightly different and literal approach to the song. It depicts a girl and her almost humorously exaggerated obsession with her ex. Behind tiers of humor, is hidden the serious issue of this sort of unhealthy, toxic behaviour and how it ruins a person's life.

Resolution in a Relationship:

The concept explores the themes of recovery within a relationship. The music video would depict a couple going through hard times due to a long distance relationship, the misunderstandings it causes and their own subsequent insecurities. However, by working through their issues, they manage to resolve conflict and recover, love abloom. 

Afterwards, we sat down with our Media Studies teacher to discuss these concepts and what would go best with our song. We shortlisted the concepts: loving yourself, change and obsession. We decided that each of us would write a synopsis each so we can explore all the aforementioned themes and choose the concept that is best.
