Changing Of The Style Of Music Video.

I am changing the style of the music video, the video will no longer feature Lauren Wilson as my stsr, the video will have another actor in it, the actor will be reacting along to the narrative of the song, this will be taken in an ironic sense because the character will commit suicide despite the fact that the song is called still alive. This means that the overall style of the music video will change, as will its intended meaning and message.

The intended message was originally supposed to be one of betrayal, love and forgiverness, this was going to be shown through the Mis-En-Scene, which, consisting of having the main performer dancing around in a forest, this would ultimatly end in the main character walking off into the sunset, it would have consisted mainly of abstract performance. The music wouldn't have really linked to the music video much in that it would have reflected part of the performace but otherwise they would have not really linked together.

In the new music video the lyrics closer link to the Mis-En-scene, they link through the fact that when the lyrics say 'come fire, come fire let it burn', I filmed inside a burned building to show the significance of the character walking alone. the character is an empty shell of their former selves as reflected in the house which is a burned out shell of its former glory. The overall narrative is linked closer because the character commits suicide in the video. This is taking the lyrics in an ironic sense, the lyrics 'I'm Still Alive' will be ironic if the character commits suicide instead of living and moving on with their life without the female in the video. It can also mean that the singer of the song is still alive and is singing the song to show that she has moved on without the male in the video and no longer feels responsible for his death and is moving on.
