Music Video Ideas- Initial Plan
NEA- research and planning from Isha Bhatt
*(Edit) during the waltz scene, the devil will not be revealed at all, with this I want to enforce the connotations of the devil such as deceiving, dark and enigmatic. Also, the role will be played by a female actor as the devil is a representation of her inner darkness. This would also break the conventions of traditional waltz dancing of a man and woman as partners. It would empathize the personal conflict that Juliet has with her self.
* There will be shots/ scenes involving Juliet going through maniac and depressive episodes in order to represent the visible struggles of bipolar disorder. For example; not being able to get out of bed, staring at the mirror, dancing around in bliss, books and sheets scattered around with writing intensively.
* A circling camera shot rotating around actor to draw attention to the artist. Also a zoom in/or out shot of Juliet which can portray how the audience is drawing into her and how she is trying to distance her self.

Isha, upon initially reading your planning I felt that it was a great interpretation of the song. Highlighting issues with mental health is very current in terms of it being in the media a lot in recent years, particularly social media. I do think it is important to show how supporting someone can affect a person's own mental health. I hope that you will do plenty of research into this. However, upon reflection I also think that you need to consider feminist readings of the idea of your leading lady being 'rescued' by the male. Include some slides on alternative readings from your knowledge of media theorists.
