My final idea

 I have decided to recreate the music video for chase and status' blind faith ft. Liam Bailey. My narrative idea consists of using 3 young adults to illustrate how music allows them to escape an oppressive reality in which they live in. This coincides with the lyrics of the song as it states: 
Sweet sensation
I am a man with a heavy heart, and I dare not turn the pages
Fighting with automatic self destruction
It's a blind faith, a cruel waste, one bitter taste
So I know I need this sweet sensation
Sweet sensation
The music that we play will ease your mind
[x2]
What is a man now to do with his mind when it's working overtime?
The best I can do is now dance with the devil
I keep my soul sane, I won't waste this time and space
So I know I need this sweet sensation
These lyrics can be interpreted specifically to follow the narrative of my production. The narrative is basically the characters living within their oppressive realities and how they use the music as a source of temporary escapism from life itself. This will be filmed in a montage using effects such as slow motion to add to the build up of the music and to add to the intensity, specifically, when the drop comes in. When the song is about to reach a climax, all of the characters seen so far are depicted coming together and getting ready to go out on a night out. They have gone from being dressed in school uniform and being treat like children with adult responsibilities to going out and not having a care in the world apart from the atmosphere and mood they are currently living in, in that specific moment. A major sense of euphoria is reached with the help of taking illegal drugs and dancing in a dark warehouse. The music is the sweet sensation described in the lyrics of the song. The anti-climax of the music will result in the characters returning home from the rave at about 5am when societies awake again, and they have to come back to civilisation and face reality once again. This will be depicted by the sight of all of the characters walking in an empty street with the birds chirping, girls holding their shoes and wearing the boys jackets, the boys with hands in pockets trying to keep warm and the constant yawning and monged out state of the characters will be shown through constant close ups.
