Hello, the song I've decided to create a music video with is the 'I See Fire' remix by ADDAL that he mixed from Jasmine Thompson's cover of Ed Sheeran's song 'I See Fire'.
The plot of the video is a girl who has just woken up from an incident. She is in hospital and she passes into the after-life and she had to decide whether her life is good enough to carry on or whether she should go to heaven. I got inspiration from the recent release of the film 'If I Stay', because Chloe Grace Moretz's character also has to decide whether she should stay or not.
The main theme of the video is depression because the girl has to decide whether her life is worth carrying on with. I chose the theme of depression because many young adults face depression everyday. One in five children and adolescents is affected by mental health problems and disorders. Those aged 18-24 have the highest prevalence of mental disorders of any age group. This is why depression should be taken seriously and I would like to bring awareness to this in my music video.

The young girl's attempted death will be hinted as a suicide due to her depression, however the act will not be played out as it is a very sensitive topic to be considered carefully. The music video will look at the affect that will play out rather than the cause.
The video will play out two realities, one where the location is real-life, and the other where she is imagining herself in the heaven she dreamed of. The realities will match the song I chose with real-life being the lyrics, and her heaven being instrumental.
Her real-life will include close-ups and intimate shots because it is reality and the topic of depression should be taken seriously. She will wake up sitting in the hospital bed in a hospital gown. Her eyes will look drained and have dark circles. The filter of the location will be very saturated to show the darkness that she has gone through. I would like to do a shot of her head underwater in a bath as close-up, this could draw on the topic I want to focus on, and give something emotional for the audience to watch.
Her dream will include wide shots of landscapes and harsh lighting to show the hyper-reality of her dream. It will includes shots of nature, for example, there will be shots of flower fields and woods. There will be panning shots and lots of lens flares. I hope to include hyper-reality into my music video to show that the heaven isn't reality. I will do this by include odd characters in the dream. For example, if there were people dressed in black with masks on, then you would know that isn't reality because that doesn't happen in real-life
The beginning of the video will be real-life as she is comatose but wakes up in the after-life. Which leads her to move onto her heaven that she dreamed of.
The middle of the video will switch between reality and her heaven.
Her conflict in her choice in whether she should stay in heaven or go back to reality. She has to decide whether her life is good enough in reality to continue with. There will be different flash-backs, one of her attempted death when she is in a bath and one of when she is with her friends around a bonfire.
The end will be the deciding factor of whether she passes to heaven or stays in reality. I want my music video to be a motivation to those with depression, so I want the ending to be a positive resolution. This would mean that she choses to stay in reality and the end of video ends with her waking up finally.
