Finalised Concept

 We had multiple different angles from which we could approach this particular song. 

One idea suggested by Tehreem was similar to a previous concept that we had though of - that we could show the protagonist and her "sanity" (personified as the protagonist herself, so basically two of the same person).

Even though I personally liked where we were headed with that concept, my teammates believed it would be difficult to shoot, in the case of a sudden lockdown which is something we're still anticipating. And also, we would need a protagonist who was really really brilliant at acting. So the mutual though was that even though it was a very good concept and video in our heads, it would most likely be very poorly executed, and so we decided to not go with this one. Maybe some other time :')

We decided to go for a more fast-paced concept, which had a simple (pretty cliche in my opinion, but not that that's a bad thing) narrative intertwined within it, showing the story of a girl whose insecurities don't let her let go of a past that she can't bring back, and these insecurities and fears manifest themselves in the form of toxic behaviours and habits. However, after this gradual increasingly toxic behaviour, we also see a gradual reevaluation of it, and the ultimate embracing of reality and hence a healthier state of mind.


We wrote down the lyrics and tried building the concept up as we go. We believed this way, it would also be easier for us to construct a synopsis.

Social Media Page Research & Analysis

For our social media page, we decided to make our artist's account on Instagram. We had several reasons for this, the main one being our target audience. Our artist herself is supposed to be a "zennial" (gen z and millennial cusper) so naturally, our target audience, as also previously discussed during our research phase, is the age group 16-30 (including the secondary target audience). The primary target age group (late teens and early 20s) are significantly more present and active on Instagram. This is also why a majority of artists now, despite having accounts on both platforms, are more active on Instagram because they get greater engagement with their target audience. Secondly, Facebook appears to have a more conservative demographic and is subject to regulation by media watchdogs to a greater extent than Instagram. So considering our video contains a depiction of a lesbian couple, if it happens to fall under the viewership of people with conservative views (which is...

Music Videos - what's the point?

There doesn't have to be a point, you love them. If you don't, you do . In the music industry as we know it today, music videos have become a vital part of it, especially with platforms like YouTube (which we're all very much familiar with) that cater to streaming music videos. Apparently 55% of YouTube users watch music videos everyday (it's me, I'm users). The significance of music videos can be observed in the way award shows now have categories for them - Best Visual Effects, Best Cinematography and there's too many to list. So, I daresay, for people of mainstream pop-culture, it's grown to become a competition with artists setting and breaking records for views. Music videos, though initially made to promote artists or films, do a lot more than just that now. Prominent artists, with their large fanbases, in the industry dominate charts worldwide each time they make a comeback and drop an MV. These music videos address a variety of things: They could add...
