Scene/ Purpose of filming

Location 1/ Day 1/ 24/09/15: Footage of dead young fox in Park. I plan to do a time lapse of the Fox decaying, so I need to go back every day to film/ take pictures. The theme of my music video is loss. The character likens losing her purity to the death of an animal, which is innocent. I actually came across the Fox when I was walking home and I thought it would suit the visual concept of my music video.

Location 2/ Day 2/ 25/09/15: Footage of Vanessa roaming around park, amongst nature to signify her purity and innocence

The music video is a manifestation of the character’s thoughts and dreams.

Location 3/ Day 3/ 26/09/15: In this scene, she’s considering whether she should lose her innocence and how she might feel once she does. After losing her innocence she tries to purify herself and the blue water she submerses herself in represents God and Godliness. She’s also trying to regain control over her emotions and the blue water connotes tranquillity and peace.
