Mis-En-Scene

Within the music video, the girl is essentially going through heartbreak and trying to find herself without him. She will be going through a series of hobbies to find what she likes to do but in the end none of it works out for her. SOO i had this brilliant idea to put a scene in her room where there isn't much color but there is a BRIGHT journal standing out. The girl will open this journal and start to write songs, she begins to find herself and heal. Specifically in this part of the 2nd verse i knew it would work perfectly: 

Leave behind red for maroon 

But I remember breathing easier 

When I was up in blue

Me and my partner were thinking for this journal to be maybe red, maroon, or blue but there is already a lot of reds going on throughout the video. So ultimately we decided on blue for the journal. That meant the search for the perfect bright blue journal.

We originally went out looking for a plain blue journal. We only wanted it to be bright. We found one and we clung to it as we searched the rest of the store. But then, we found something better. We found a journal the perfect shade of bright blue that we imagined, but it also had a wave pattern on the cover. And Gaby and I knew that it was the one for this project. It had a sense of foreshadowing, as it connects to the finale of the video. This also uses the input I got from my group meeting, which was to connect the beach. throughout the video and not just make a jump cut into it. Here is the picture of me and my partner as soon as we found it.
