INITIAL IDEAS

BEHIND THE MUSIC VIDEO
Song: Just My Soul Responding - Amber Run

I originally chose this song because it was one of my favourites at the time, and many ideas came to me from the lyrics. I felt like I could do a lot with this song due to the story it was telling, as well as the pace and upbeat feeling of the song. I also went to France (more specifically, the French and Swiss Alps) in the holidays, and jumped at the chance to film in such a beautiful location. As well as this, Anya who stars in the music video was happy to be filmed (I had asked a month in advance), and was staying with us. The mountains provided the perfect location for my idea.

The idea behind the video is that the protagonist is battling cyberbullying/bullying in her life, and escapes by drawing and imagining herself in the places that she draws. This is why some of the clips are much more solemn than others, to show a change in the girl's imagination and real life. As well as this, the colour scheme is predominantly blue to represent depression.
