First draft of my music video - A Thousand Years


Sequence 03 from Neha Raithatha on Vimeo.

This is my completed first draft of my music video. I have decided that this will just be the first draft rather than my final draft as I have already received feedback on how to improve it, which I have written about in previous blog posts, therefore I would like to make these changes in order to make the video look more aesthetically pleasing as well as more professional.
The majority of the video shows Monique sitting alone in a dark room, singing the song about her lover who she is waiting for, looking lonely and isolated.
Towards the end of the song, where the artist is more positive that she will be reunited with her lover, Monique stands and sings proudly, almost making it seem as if she is performing on a stage.
The Hyde Park footage has been used as flashbacks as the singer reminisces about her love and shows her finding an old letter that we assume is from her lover. The fact that the letter is tea-stained makes it look old and depicts how long the artist has been waiting for her lover to return.
Additionally, there is one shot during the final chorus where the breaking of the fourth wall is clearly illustrated. This makes the protagonist seem brave enough to deter from the conventions of a ballad and suggests that her bravery and courage comes from the knowledge that her lover will return to her and that she will not be isolated for much longer.
