The Message

Graph showing how younger adults throughout the years are rising.

My aim for my music video was to try to create a meaningful message for the audience. My message was about alcohol awareness, I showed this message by having the narrative show the main character Tom/Drummer, waking up and instantly looking at a half empty bottle of whisky knocked over next to a photograph of his lover. He also drinks the alcohol early in the morning to show his addiction. I chose to film teenagers for my music video to show how alcohol as a young adult can be dangerous and can cause damage to your health and to the people around you. I believe that I could have made this message more obvious by perhaps showing a poster in the background of a scene, or even someone handing him a leaflet about alcoholism and he could have got angry and threw the paper away. There are also two scenes in my music video which show Tom/Drummer "seeing" his lover at the train stop which is caused by drinking too much, another scene is showing Albie/Guitarist who is also a big drinker thinking he saw his brother Tom outside a café.
