In the first half of the music video the protagonist's average day speeds by from waking up in the morning to coming home & going to bed in little detail, therefore the video may contain elements of montage, shifting into a slower, more flashback-centric phase in the second half, charting the rest of the night for the protagonist. The video will not be featuring a performance from any band, focusing purely on the storyline. A similar approach can be witnessed in the Arctic Monkeys video for 'Fluorescent Adolescent.' Both videos are potentially humorous, though the latter is somewhat of a perverse slapstick instead of a parody. The fast-paced editing and physicality of the video has inspired me to attempt something similar with my video, possibly by speeding up sequences or focusing on exaggerated body movement.

Narrative Structure and editing of my video
The narrative structure of 'Insomniac' is intended to be mostly chronological as the events of the video happen in succession and in order. Parts of the video will be presented as flashbacks to events prior to the beginning of the video, such as the protagonist's substance abuse. As in the Foo Fighters' video for 'Long Road to Ruin' these flashbacks will tell some elements of the story as the main narrative moves chronologically.
