While doing my lyric analysis, I also thought about what kind of images and methaphors I could use throughout my music video. I wanted to use imagery so I can give my video more meaning and depth and make sure it isn't stereotypical and predictable. I have decided on a few key images to go alongside the lyrics to the song, these are explained below -
'Breathe your smoke into my lungs'
For this lyric I interpretted it as the smoke being someones speech and lies, and the fact she is asking to breathe it into her lungs it shows she is believing and 'inhaling' all the lies he is expressing to her. I therefore want to take this shot literal of my main girl character breathing in smoke, I will do so by reversing a shot to ensure it is clear that the smoke is being inhaled. I also want to smoke to cover the camera lense at the beginning of the shot to create mystery as this will be the first time the main character is introduced
'Still not to old to die young'
I read this lyric as the singer believeing that its not too late to give up on the relationship or life and move on, and I therefore felt that a shot such as hands seperating would represent how she is giving up on the relationship and they are drifting apart.
I also wanted a returning motif throughout my music video to ensure that the music video ties together. I have decided upon my motif being my main character, a girl, running away and essentially escaping the deep yet painful love she us currently experiencing. I feel that by encorporating this shot throughout the music video, I can make sure the whole video ties together well as well as reinforcing the fact the 'present' and how she is currently running and escaping the treacherous love; I need to reinforce this fact because I want to encorporate flashbacks to her past life with her boyfriend throughout the music video and therefore need a recurring image throughout that represents the current time, I want this motif to return each time the chorus plays and the lyrics below are sang:
'Lovers hold on to everything,
And lovers hold on, to anything'
For this lyric I interpretted it as the smoke being someones speech and lies, and the fact she is asking to breathe it into her lungs it shows she is believing and 'inhaling' all the lies he is expressing to her. I therefore want to take this shot literal of my main girl character breathing in smoke, I will do so by reversing a shot to ensure it is clear that the smoke is being inhaled. I also want to smoke to cover the camera lense at the beginning of the shot to create mystery as this will be the first time the main character is introduced
