The brief states that we are to make a music video for an indie/alternative song. The song I have chosen is 'Can Time Move Faster?' by singer-songwriter Cat Burns. The song follows a young woman struggling with her mental health after experiencing a traumatic experience/ loss, as she wishes that time could move faster and that she could skip to the future when she is healed and doing better. The video will depict her moving through the days as she tries to find ways to occupy herself, and not to fall apart
shot ideas:
- messy teen bedroom in early morning, mc is seen laying on bed in fetal position, shots of items around the room as the song's intro builds up and then a shot of feet landing on the floor and walking away as she gets out of bed
- multiple quick shots of mc in bathroom brushing teeth, washing face, etc - she looks in mirror sadly for longer clip
- shots of her house - out the window, dripping tap, dirty dish pile, messy bedroom floor
- shots of mc trying to occupy herself all day; some are active (reading, playing chess alone, yoga stretching, washing dishes, playing with dog), some are more idle and slow ( laying on floor, staring in mirror, watching tv on sofa) to signify the ups and downs of her mental healing process
- moments of irritation amplified, eg cereal box empty, open fridge and see its almost empty no more hand soap, spill food on clothes, to show stress build up and anxiety
- multiple consecutive clips of mc on sofa in different positions to show her boredom and how long she is there
