Lyrics For One Hand Holding

Oh love I was torn, I was torn
But I put those thoughts away love
Just a thought
Will the gods look kindly
Those thoughts are behind me

Oh why would you be led to suppose
Oh why would you be led by your nose

Why would you kill it, kill it, kill it before it dies
Why would you kill it, kill it, kill it before it dies
Those puffy eyes are no surprise

When there's a devil in the doorway
Heaven in the hallway
Say you'll still adore me

And I'm far out on an ocean
Trapped in a disaster
I'd say I still adore you

Oh why would you carry on a name
Oh why would you carry on the same

Why would you kill it, kill it, kill it before it dies
Why would you kill it, kill it, kill it before it dies
Those killer eyes don't look the same, the same, the same as they used to do
Not like the eyes, the eyes, the eyes that I make at you
I make at you, I make at you

It was torn up
But now it's alright, alright
It was torn up alright

Costumes

Girl protagonist- we decided the girl's clothing should be reasonably fashionable but young looking. We did not want to highlight her obsessive/perculiar nature through her clothes, our aim was to make her appear to be an ordinary teenage girl, to be representative of young 'indie types'. But also, we did not want her clothes to stand out greatly so we used items like a plain white t-shirt and jeggings (so still appearing fashionable but not to take the focus away from the narrative). Also the use of the white top was to have an ironic element to the narrative. Symbolic of her 'purity' and 'innocence', audiences may find this somewhat humorous as she is far from innocent, it is a facade she creates.

Boy protagonist- we wanted our audiences to relate to our main boy protagonist so, we dressed him in typical indie attire. He wore skinny jeans (the current fashion of indie types). But, we also wanted him to appear different from the rest, to stand out amongst other boys, so we decided to dress him in shirts as well. This was also important to make clear to audiences how drastically the girl had changed his appearance. By the end of the music video the boy character will be dressed in a plain red t-shirt with spiked up hair, becoming a duplicate of the doll. The red t-shirt is worn as he discovers her secret obsession, and the danger he is about to face.

Animatic

Animatic

We received generally quite positive feedback from our animatic when showing it to the class showed our animatic to the rest of our media class.

They identified our motif to be the doll and said it was consistently shown throughout the narrative.

But our other motif was not identified as it was in black and white (it was the colour red) We have decided to improve this in the actual video by choosing locations which clearly incorporate the colour red. We will also use red lighting in the final scenes

Our video was identified as a narrative video rather than a performance based one. They recognised that in doing this we were developing the “indie” genre, as performance based videos are stereotypically more common
