Location Shots

'

The location I've chosen for my music video is my school, and this is simply because of the fact that the protagonist of my story formed a strong bond of friendship with a significant someone here, and therefore this place reminds him about the times they shared together, which further intensifies the sorrow held within him. It is essential to note that I've chosen only the exterior of the school, rather than the interior, since by expanding my surroundings, I can expose my protagonist to a series of situational variables, which would help in a more effective dramatic representation of his thoughts, and feelings. Initially, he will be shown sitting on a school bench, with the entire playground in focus so as to place emphasis on his loneliness, and  how it pains him to see everyone except him in a happy mood, when he has nothing really to be happy about. 

Character Sketches

Faraz Hussain-Protagonist

Faraz, is the protagonist of my music video, and the very reason I chose him for this was because he looks both like a rockstar as well as the depressed type, thanks to his long black hair, which does well to shroud his eyes so as to indicate that he doesn't wish any intensive social contact with anyone in his surroundings. In the video, he sits in a sullen mood, mourning constantly about his particular loss-that being his late friend, and the happy surroundings keep reminding him of that matter. In the end, however, he understands that his friend is not going to come back, but he must move on with his life, and so stops troubling himself to such a great magnitude.

Saad Tariq-Artist/Bandmate

Saad Tariq is a member of the band being promoted-which is Iris. Both a rhythm as well as a lead guitarist for the band, he is featured in the music video in order to signify both his role in the band, as well as in the music video. He acts as an hallucination of the protagonist, who feels that he can sense his presence. Both, however, act as if they can't see each other, since they belong to two separate worlds- reality and fantasy. In the end, both Saad and Faraz disappear, a clear indication that both their souls have moved on. In Faraz' case, he has moved on with his life and made new friends, and has stopped regressing about his past. In Saad's case, he has left this world for heaven, and beyond.
