Yanina: New edited video version

Image
  https://youtu.be/PsVFB5Rv-2Q I added the starting desk scenes, added a stabilizer and color correction effects to the long bike bridge scene, added stabilizers to the scenes where fire settles down (ending of night scenes), and I made the bike journey more dynamic by interpolating the scenes based on the music, besides I made the bird audio in the very end louder Still time lapses and renewed night scenes with the box, match and raging are missing

Yanina: Draft edit of our music video

  For now I edited a draft version, I marked which scenes are still missing. (The bird audio in the very end might be too quiet Also, I could try a stabilizer. Special effects will probably be applied by Adam, but we will need to discuss that in more details later.)

Characterization

Characterization of main character in music video Name & Age James Mitchell, 24 years old General info He is working at a regular company - leading a regular, but unhappy life. Why is he miserable & why do papers pile up? James had bigger dreams for his life, but got caught up in adult live's responsibilities. Additionally, his previous relationship broke up in a unpleasant way: He still keeps letters from the ex partner as he can't let go just yet. Moreover James does not earn enough money to pay everything sufficiently: Thus unpaid bills have piled up in his desk. This leads us to the exposition scene. Exposition Scene Music video James sits at his desk, he is surrounded by the pile of papers. He tries to hold all the pent up emotions within, all the anger, disappointment and frustration. Usually, he pretends to be okay (warm sunset tones), he fakes his state (Four eyes and no brain). The camera angle supports the claustrophobic feeling James is going through though: ...

Rephrasing Narrative

Narrative, Rephrasing Meiya's first draft  It's evening. The main character is sitting at the desk, going through different documents:  Unpaid bills, piled up newspaper articles about disasters in the world, an old letter by a past friend that holds hurtful memories... The setting sun gets reflected in the character's glasses, Sighing, (s)he puts the glasses down and looks out the window: The sky is colored in golden and red colors, yet the dark and cold colors of the night are emerging, slowly taking over. (S)he gets frustrated. One last look at the papers - suddenly, out of an impulse, (s)he grabs all of them and packs them in a bag, leaving the house, grabs his/her bicycle outside and heads somewhere, not thinking about any specific goal. During the ride, it gets completely dark. Another impulse, and the character throws the bike on the ground. "Without a brain" (s)he starts making a fire, tossing the papers in it. (S)he is starting a rage by breaking things ar...
