As I stated in a previous post we have taken inspiration from the Biffy Clyro video for Biblical with its dual story line. But we have also taken inspiration from Ed Sheeran's video for "A-Team". The video shows a young homeless girl who has to use herself as a prostitute to make money so she can try and survive. The video ends with the girl dying due to an overdose. The video is all in black and white which relays the negative emotions linked with homelessness. This video therefore follows many similar themes as our proposed video. The negative connotations of homelessness as well as making an awareness for people who have to deal with this situation. Also the black and white effect is something we would also like to use as this clearly denotes the sadness of the situation. Another thing I really like about this video is the added theme of her becoming a prostitute. It creates a very disturbing image however it does make the ordeal very real which is something we would like to do. This is a very sensitive topic therefore we want to be as respectful to real homeless people as much as possible. Therefore making the story as realistic as possible will make it relatable and therefore hopefully creating a greater understanding of this way of living. However, we want our story to end positively rather than the tragic ending of this video. Some real life stories do end in tragedy however we want to highlight the possibly of making a difference for the better. Also Tranqua Lite have told us that the narrative of their song is about making this positive difference therefore it doesn't make sense for us to make a tragic ending. Finally, this video uses a time lapse while the girl is sleeping on the street. This is something we would like to use as well as it emphasises the scale of the problem of them on the street as it shows that they have to stay on the street 24/7 while they are stuck in this situation. This technique also gives the situation realism which is one of the key ideas we want to focus on in our video.
