The director aims to create a gloomy and dark music video to match the grungy song. The video will tell a narrative of a mysterious wanted criminal chasing a civilian who recognizes them. It will start slowly and build up speed during the chorus then slow down again. The visuals will have a gloomy feel using dark colors, cloudy weather and keeping it grey to represent the song's genre. The video will show the criminal walking in an urban environment and crossing paths with a civilian, who then runs away while being chased through the streets until getting caught in an alley, implying their death.

A grungy song needs a gloomy and dark video and this is what I’m aiming for. The
songs starts off with a mean, hard hitting riff which means my video will have to start
off with similar action. My video’s narrative is of a mysterious, wanted criminal
chasing a civilian who knows and recognises the criminal. The speed of the video will
start slowly, then build up to the chorus and after the chorus it will go back to being
slow then again will build up to the chorus and outro.
The visual style of the video will give off a gloomy feel which represents the song and
its genre. The enviroment will be shown as depressing and grim by having no bright
colours shown, having cloudy weather and keeping it grey-ish and dark. The camera
will be choppy when it is on the move and will stay close to the actors to capture the
emotion of the actors.
At the start of the video, the criminal is introduced, walking through a grimey, urban
environment to reflect the subject matter. The video then cuts to a civilian walking his
dog through a local park, they then cross paths and the civilian slowly recognises the
criminal then runs, with the criminal chasing him. They run through the streets of the
town and the civilian gets away. The scene then changes to an inside of a café where
the civilian is shaking whilst holding/drinking a hot drink. The criminal walks past
and sees the civilian, the criminal then enters the café and sits behind the civilian. The
civilian gets up and walks out the café, as soon as he gets out the café, he runs and he
is followed by the criminal, they run down small alleyways and then the civilian trips
up. The video ends with the connotation that the civilian is getting mudered.
So, in conclusion, this dark,aggressive song will have this dark and aggressive music
video of inevitible death making the viewer hooked watching the video anticipating
the moment of his death
