When thinking about the concept for our video we were torn about what the 'fight' or struggle our protagonist would face should be. We didn't want to do the generic getting over a breakup struggle, or similar issues, and instead do something more serious and complex. We have come up with the idea of our protagonists' fight to be an inner struggle with herself. The idea is that she suffers from a dual personality disorder where she is constantly fighting between these different sides of herself. The narrative would be solely focus on her and told through her body, emotions and personality/image transitions, as well as how her differing personas deal with similar situations. The culmination of these two opposing sides will come at the end where we reach a resolution of sorts where she becomes at peace with herself. The two extreme personalities are a depressed and angry persona, contrasted to a out-going and social preppy persona. In between these two extremes there is just the protagonists' true self who is struggling to cope with her illness and frustration. These binary opposites will be shown through changes in mise en scene such as lighting and camera angles, as well the costumes and makeup the protagonist wears and her body language and emotions.
