Locations in my MV

 Bedroom



For my music video, I chose the bedroom as one of my main locations. I chose it because a bedroom is a very personal and private space. It is somewhere people usually go when they want to be alone. Since my music video is about mental health and emotional numbness, the bedroom helps show isolation and overthinking.

In this space, the character is mostly alone and not very active. I planned to use simple movements like sitting on the bed or lying down to show tiredness and emotional heaviness. The room is not decorated in a dramatic way because I wanted it to feel realistic. This makes the



audience focus more on the character’s emotions rather than the background. The bedroom represents being stuck inside your own thoughts.

Garden


I also chose to film in the garden. The garden is open and natural, which is very different from the bedroom. I wanted this contrast to show that even when the character is outside in a free and open space, the feeling of numbness does not go away.

In the garden scenes, the character may be standing or walking slowly. Even though the environment looks calm and normal, the character still feels disconnected. This shows that mental health struggles are internal. Just because someone is outside or in a nice environment does not mean they feel better inside. The garden helps show that the world continues normally while the character feels emotionally distant.

Terrace


The terrace was another important location in my music video. I chose the terrace because it feels like an in between space. It is not fully inside like the bedroom and not fully open like the garden. This connects to the character’s mental state, which is also in between feeling okay and feeling overwhelmed.

On the terrace, I planned to use more still body language and simple framing. The open sky in the background can make the character look small or exposed. This adds to the feeling of vulnerability. The terrace represents confusion and emotional uncertainty.

Overall Location

All three locations work together to show different parts of the character’s mental state. The bedroom shows isolation and overthinking. The garden shows emotional disconnection even in open spaces. The terrace shows being stuck in between different emotions.

By using normal and realistic locations, I was able to make the portrayal of mental health feel more relatable and natural.

Genre and Mood exploration

 Here, I aimed to explore the genre and mood of similar songs to examine how the music video concept has been developed, and to investigate how the music video's narrative (the story) relates to the song's actual theme. The main theme and genre of my choice of song (Numb little bug )    Main theme - mentalillness, post liminal sad but beautiful Genre - Indie pop Some songs that depict a similar concept to the post-liminal theme and the genre of indie pop Ceilings by Lizzy McAlpine Heather by Connan Gray Ceiling By Lizzy McAlapine  Theme - Grief and blurred memory after a breakup Genre - Indie pop  The main meaning of the song  can be interpreted in two ways: as a lingering feeling of a broken relationship or as the aftermath of an imagined scenario. The song can be taken as an understanding of the real-world situation of a breakup, even though the relationship wasn't real. How does the song lyric match the post-liminal concept?  First chorus - The ch...

Behind the scenes

 Here I'll show the behind-the-scenes of me filming my music video Here the camera was not the actors face is not in the middle of the screen so the shot was not right Here the camera was not the actor's face was not in the middle of the screen so the shot was not right I  first wanted to take the shot where the dog was sitting beside her, but it was a failure because it did not show any interest, so we took the shot with the dog sitting down and looking up Small mistake She did not look angry enough in this shot  I did not include this clip in the last MV It was actually a very fun experience filming the MV, but we also had an annoying number of mistakes which we had to correct and move forward. These show the wrong takes and the bloopers of filming (behind the scenes)

Practicing Photography of backgrounds(locations)

 Here I will be practicing some photography with different backgrounds that bring out different moods Places Melancholy Place - A lane with houses This picture feels calm but a little lonely. The empty stone road and quiet houses make it seem peaceful, like no one is around. The dark clouds with bits of blue sky give it a dramatic feeling, like rain might come soon. It feels calm, quiet, and a little sad in a nice way. Scenes to film in this background  (empty road and cloudy sky) can be used for a dramatic walking away scene, someone feeling lonely or lost. it can also be for a new beginning scene like someone coming to a new town. it’s good for a quiet talking moment between two characters or just before a storm to make it feel suspenseful. Serenity Place - A tea cultivation This background gives a very peaceful and calming feeling. The green tea bushes in the front with the mountains in the distance make it feel natural and quiet. The orange and pink sunset adds a warm, dre...
