The document discusses ideas for depicting drug and alcohol abuse in a music video. It proposes showing the artist's life glowing at the beginning and end to represent her tough situation. It also suggests having her spell out "abuse" after showing bruises to make it clear she is being abused. Additionally, it recommends showing the artist smoking to portray her as stressed and giving up, complementing flashbacks of her stressful home life and unclear situation until the bruises are revealed at the end. The smoking also relates to the song's title of "Habits". Finally, it proposes showing the artist alone throughout to represent her independence but also a blurred, spinning life she does not know how to fix.
2. We like the idea of this, as we think that lights at the beginning and end of our music
video is effective because it shows the audience even though she's having a rough
time her life is still glowing.
3. We like the idea of this, as this would have a good effective spelling out abuse once
she has showed us her bruises, as then the audience will be aware that she is getting
abused.
4. We like the idea of the artist smoking, this is because it shows that our artist is
stressed and is giving up in life as she is smoking after being on the rides, when its
time to head home. This has a nice effect on our story as our music video has flash
backs of her having a stressful time at home, but we aren't to sure what is actually
happening until she shows us her bruises near the end of the music video. Also so
the smoking/ addiction goes with the title of the song ‘Habits’, as our lyrics don’t.
5. We like the idea of this, as our artist is alone through out the whole music video, she
likes her independency. But also as we like the background, the blur to the artist and
the wall, like her life is spinning around and she don’t know how to fix it.
