Story Elements

Dean and I are planning to have the story be intermittent between the band’s performance in the music video. The main character will be Madisyn, and the other characters are Kenzie, Maxx, Nick, and possibly Angelo, Rodrigo, and Claire; since Saving Herald has been super flakey, we're hesitant to work with them further on the story. Dean suggested we use some of the crew who's helping us out as the main character instead. We're not sure what to do yet.

So far, we have that the storyline is centered around the deteriorated house being a metaphor for the main character’s poor mental health. Saving Herald wants it to be more random and artistic than a linear storyline, so we're gonna try implying the plot visually through cool scenes.

Possible Ideas To Use:

- Include symbolic props?
- Costume design for the main character, red, or white (although it could get dirty) in contrast to the all-black clothes during the performance
- Candles, several candles around the house in rooms with no windows, possibly at night time
- Black balloons and at the end, colorful balloons
- Start video with someone submerged underwater, ends with them emerging out of the water (to play with the whole "breathe" idea)
- Maxx recommended buying balloons that spell out the word Breathe to include in the video. He said he was going to do it before we start filming Wednesday, so we'll see where that goes. Dean and I really like the idea. If he can't buy them, Dean and I will be looking into it.
