My Final idea is of a girl who used to date a boy who used his "heart as a weapon and it hurts like heaven". It didn't work out and they split but my girl (Asami) is the antagonist because she could never move on.
She sees my main male character (Jack) with another girl and she gets extremely jealous and psychotic. Asami dresses to impress Jack but he doesn't notice her because he's moved on, her room is plastered in pictures of Jack as if she was stalking him. The video will end with him going back to her and seeing all the pictures but because I want to play my whole video in reverse and sped up, this will actually be the beginning. By doing this I want to show the audience that even though things may end up bad they once were good and good things can come out of them.
But because my ending shot is of Jack standing in an empty school hallway I want to leave the audience with a subconscious message of whether they'd still do things even if they end up bad? If even though at the time you were infatuated and in love, you're left with a mess at the end of it.
I am basing my narrative mainly on the one line i have quoted previously, (you use your heart as a weapon and it hurts like heaven). I think that this means that your love can be a weapon but it hurts in a positive way, thus using heaven as the simile rather than hell. It can make you give up on any hatred and suffering, stop self - inflicting pain, whether it be mentally or physically.
So my narrative is that at the time of Asami and Jack's relationship it didn't work out and so she was left to dwell in her own self pity but he moved on and found a new 'victim'.
Asami becomes mentally disturbed and jealousy takes over all her emotions.
THE CHARACTERS
This is my female lead played by Asami. I chose to dress her up in some scenes then show the effort she has to go through to emphasise the effort she's putting in to get Jack to notice her again. (The purple jacket and pink toms are not included!)
As you can see one side of her character is wearing white and neutral colours this is to connote that to the outside world she has this image of innocence and purity.
However, in the picture on the left i've dressed in casual dark clothing to show her real self after her facade has been let down.
For Jack's outfits I wanted to keep them simple and modern. Because he's portraying the modern day teen.
For my outfit i wanted to look casual because I want to portray that you don't have to make the huge effort that Asami's character has to go through to win the affection of a guy whose lost his attraction towards you.
I decided to use teen actors so that my target audience can relate to the characters and narrative more.
