Music Video Pitch Update

After completing my NEA Music Video Pitch, I received feedback from my peers stating what I need to do to improve and where my strenghts lie. From my audience feedback, it is evident that my narrative and character names was too confusing and did not work as a music video itself. Therefore, I have decided to change my chosen track and the narrative/societal message that follows this. 

My New Chosen Track: 'Back To You'~ Selena Gomez

 

The track is one of Selena Gomez’s famous hits behind the Netflix sensation ‘13 Reasons Why’. She is the executive director of the show that involves ideas of mental health, depression and suicide.
Throughout the video, we will follow the life of the artist (Olivia Weston) and how she suffered from bullying during her education. She turns to acts of self-harm to try and relieve her pain and attempts suicide also. There is also a dance section within the music where the pace and pitch increases, I am going to get another two actors (Fiona Kinsella and Eleanor Carty) to dance within these sections (I have choreographed a dance sequence for this) and portray this as being a coping method for the protagonist (Olivia Weston)- in order to make this obvious, I am going to choreograph a dance sequence that I shall record in the drama studios using strobe lighting. This makes it clear that it is the protagonists’s fantasy and showing her thoughts of being ‘normal’ again.
