Troye Siva, Australian youtuber and singer has recently released a new album 'WILD', shortly after releasing a video titled 'WILD (Blue Neighbourhood Part 1/3) before even watching the video, you can see it contains a strong narrative, by the use of the 3 parts. I really find this way effective, as by giving away the fact the artist plans to release further videos, as a viewer, you would research more into this, trying to find out the release date and what would be the next song, also, while listening to the album, you would tend to visualize a video for each song, just to get an idea for the next video, but this technique is rather underused in the music industry. This could be a possible idea for our video, as we could hint towards the video continuing on in another video. Even for a small section, john Newman uses this technique as well in 'Love me again' and 'Cheating'
The videos are an inspiration for our initial idea, as we both focus on very controversial subjects that are touchy to portray. I personally love the realism in this video but also the theatrical elements, as it makes you realize that events like this happen in the world, a message we would like to portray in our video.
Below is screenshots taken from John Newman's two videos, to show how he interpreted the story into another video briefly.
The couple shown above from the video 'Love Me Again'. at the end we see the couple running out together ans a sudden lorry which appears to run them over, but in the video released afterwards. 'Cheating' for a second, it shows that the couple survived.
