Music Video - Directing Image and Sound

Song: Don’t Leave 

Artist: Snakehips & MØ

My target audience for this music video will be aimed towards teens and young adults. The video will be to the song Don't Leave by Snakehips & MØ. The song is a popular upbeat pop and electronic song. The lyrics of the song depict a toxic relationship through happy times and bad times. 

The video will be shot in front of a green screen. I plan to shoot a series of events that shows the ups and downs of a relationship. The two actors that will be shown will be both females because the lyrics don't clarify if it is a male to female relationship. I feel that male and female relationships are often the only ones depicted in cinema. Since the music video is shot in front of a green screen I will be using compositing to create backgrounds that are full of metaphors.
