Evanescence - Bring Me To Life






The idea that i had for my music video was to convey the emotion of the song with the audience, i wanted the emotion of the song and the story of the video to be obvious to the viewer but i decided to not have the person sing the song in the video, and just had the music in the background. My reason for doing this was that i wanted the story of the song to speak for itself and not be so obvious. And i wanted the emotion to be read from the expression and not from the  actual lyrics of the song. 
The location of my video was really important, i had this idea in my head of what i wanted, the location where i shot my music video fit it perfectly. I could not have wished for a better location to fit my video. On the day of shooting the video there was so much snow falling which i did not expect, i was worried that it would ruin the shots that i had planned and would not look right in the video. However, i feel that the snow goes along with the mood of the video and the emotion and sort of sets the scene of this dull and cold story. The house which i shot my video was in The little Hermitage which is in Meopham Kent, and the house was built in a Grade II Georgian manor house dating from 'the Age of Elegance' the 18th century. The feel i got from inside was very classy and elegant, the way the house was set up and stylized fit well with the shots that i had in mind.
