Narrative for our music video

In the past few weeks our group has come up with a clear narrative that we want our music video to follow. There will essentially be a few key scenarios going on at the same time.

The first is that our artist is running away from his troubled past which included being part of a gang. This scenario will include a group of men who are supposed to be the gang members which King J once was a part of. Many of these shots for this scenario will include King J referencing his attempted escape from this group and will even feature a shot of him running away from them, only to find they're waiting for him around the corner. This portrays how difficult it is to escape from these gangs especially for young people.

The second scenario will be how lonely King J is. In his attempt to escape his past life he fled to England. However, this left him isolated from the rest of the crowd which can be clearly seen in the party scene where he is sat on his own looking at everyone else having a good time.

Thirdly, our music video will contain a love interest for King J. In the party scene and in future scenes the focus will be put on a girl that King J obviously likes. However, it becomes apparent that she is completely ignoring him, adding to this sense of loneliness that builds up not only by the shots we take but also the lyrics.

These 3 scenarios play out throughout the whole music video and take turns in developing as the video goes on. The overall narrative is that King J is lonely and hurting from a very troubled past which he just cant escape from.
