Final Portfolio: Plot and Genre of the MV

-
PLOT:

The idea of our MV revolves around a young teenage girl who becomes infatuated with a boy from her high school, and slowly spirals out out of control, plunging deep into an unhealthy obsession over this boy. She meets this boy at a small private gathering arranged by her friends. As the story unfolds the audience gains insight into why this girl is so deeply infatuated with the young man.  As the MV progresses the protagonist spirals out of control and slowly loses her senses while hysterically breaking down. 

The vibrant, bright lights and misty atmosphere contribute to the hazy and gloomy feel of the song, all while maintaining the feel of electronic music. There's symbolism as some shots display intimate moments between the protagonists private moments in her bedroom. The protagonist's insanity is also depicted through his actions and movements.



GENRES:
Keeping the plot in mind, the genres include:
- Coming-of-age
- Heartbreak
- Freedom
