The lyrics to my chosen song (Insomniac by the Jubilees) are as follows:
Wide awake, I can’t sleep now; I’m climbing up the walls
Wide awake, I can’t sleep now (I can’t sleep now)
Mind astray, I won’t come down, until the morning comes
Mind astray, I won’t come down (I won’t come down)
Help me out
I’m tired, chasing your shadows round streets I can’t remember
So take me home
Help me out
I’m tired, wasting my lifetime on things I won’t remember
So take me home
The powerful lyrics of the song were the main catalyst for ideas on the planning of the video. The song repeats 'wide awake, I can't sleep now' amongst other sleep and insomnia-related lyrics, therefore the general idea for a video follows a lone, sleep-deprived actor. The song also hints as a gradual loss of sanity, opening up possibilities for a dream sequence or surreal flashbacks. 'Chasing your shadows' hold possibilities for a love interest and a primary dilemma in the construction of the video. The shadows chime in with nightmarish images brought on by the substance abuse and insomnia of the character.Whether his situation is simply a dream or rather a hallucination will be ambiguous. 'Wasting my lifetime on things I won't remember' may allow me to delve into contemporary issues such as drug abuse.
