Isolated Room Narrative - Research and Inspiration

 An idea we had for one of the narratives in the video was the main character sitting in a dark room, alone and isolated. This narrative shows him alone, at his most vulnerable. The room is the main setting of his downward spiral, here he uses substances to deal with his intense feelings.

The darkness in this room symbolises the dark place he is in emotionally. The scenes of the party and the chase are happening in his head, the harsh reality is that he is still trapped in this room.

The look and feel for this narrative is inspired by the styles I've seen in a few music videos. in ‘Living Is A Problem Because Everything Dies’ by Biffy Clyro yellow/gold lighting is used in a darker setting making it seem almost as if the video is set in a tunnel and the light at the end is shining in. 

‘Stan’ by Eminem also inspired me, as its use of the dark interior lit by dull lights and the flashes of lightning really captured the main character's inner turmoil, which is something we need to do in our video.

I was also inspired by a video of a live performance of ‘Pain Pain Again’ by Glasvegas. They used a very strong blue light with the dark stage which is very much what I envisioned for our video, a dark scene lit by a blue or green coloured light.
