After having the setback of choosing a new song, we found it
difficult at first to develop ideas fully and felt we had no direction with the
idea of drugs and homelessness in our video. Not only was it difficult to make
our video unique from others with the same idea, for example ‘The A Team’ by Ed
Sheeran, we felt it would be hard to include the drugs subtly.
The idea of anorexia within the video meant that we weren’t taking
the lyrics of the song ‘Medicine’ so literally, like our previous idea. It is also
topic that we could go in many directions with, whilst still keeping the video
emotionally viable. The references to ‘medicine’ within the song are relatable
to an anorexia sufferer relying on their starvation as a source of control. This
is something close to our heart as most of us in the group have known a close
friend suffering through the illness.
This is a particularly important point as it means none of
us want to create a harsh video and but only to tell the story from a bystanders
view.
