Music Video: Story Board and Subjects (old)

Subjects:

Subject 1: Played by Sophie Cull

Topic: Loneliness/Anxiety (Lead)

Introduced: at the beginning of the song, yet they aren't seen completely until the first chorus of the song.

Projection & Visuals: 

Mainly going to be using a heavy amount of black and white, and most likely have the projections related closer to the lyrics of the song. I think I also want to use lots of keying or isolation of certain body features like Eyes and Lips surrounded by black boxes of sorts. The black and white will also be easy to project considering the plain white background, though this subject could also be the dullest; especially for an introduction subject too.

Subject 2: Played by Emily Hartwig

Topic: LGBTQ+

 Introduced: at beginning of the second chorus as part of the introduction line.

Projection & Visuals: 

Maybe use of LGBTQ+ iconography matched onto face and decolorized rainbows and flags. "in the closet" metaphor used as escape and entrapment buildup scenes. I'd like to use neon lighting however too to really make the bright LGBTQ+ positive colours bounce against the dark layout discussed with the other subjects. I think it could be hard to make meaning from this one too, and i may have to rely on words projected onto the subject to create literal meaning, which may get confusing with the already foreign language to most.

Subject 3: Played by Will Barlow
Topic: Disassociation/Body Dysmorphia

Introduced: as a cross over effect during lyrics before second chorus.

Projection & Visuals:
Heavy use of layering and warping on the subjects face and outlining. I was the create multiple copies of the subject but not make them totally plausible or readable to show the disorientation disassociation can bring. I want to use red as a primary colour to show the danger rather than blues or purples for sadness. I think it could be good to try and use time/speed effects as part of the layering.

Subject 4: Played by Dylan Barnes

Topic: PTSD/Male Suicide

Introduced: First visual effect used in the second verse

Projection & Visuals:

Use of explosions and bright flashing lights (black and white) for an almost like shell shock effect. Use of skull and Shakespearean themed imagery to show the 'gloomy' side; it will also make it more dramatic and (I think personally) more visually stimulating. Have the subject yelling or crying possibly (actor capabilities) but then cut to the skull flashing on their face quickly. On second bridge i think i should have a projection of someone falling and cut to black for their shot to show their ultimate demise.

Subject 5: Played by Morgan Mills
Topic: Autism
Introduced: at beginning of the second chorus as part of the introduction line.

Projection & Visuals:
Puzzle Pieces and features similar to Subject 4 in terms of the bright lights and imagery. I want to maybe also create some monster like features around them unrelated to the scenery to show to misunderstanding and often frightening visuals autistic people can feel. I also want to use bright colours however instead of dark ones unless totally necessary to create a spectrum of colour (autism spectrum).

Subject 6: Played by Jack Martin

Topic: Physical abuse

 Introduced: at beginning of the second chorus as part of the introduction line.

Projection & Visuals:

Instead of makeup or having literal bruises, I want to use paint as a visual instead; however i want to stick to a colour scheme of blues and purples to still represent bruises. Thinking of having physical paint thrown at them at the climax of the final chorus, but I don't know if that would contradict the initial reasoning of using paint in the first place.
