Media Language

This post contains the media language encoded in our music video constructed by me with ideas contributed by the rest of the group as well

In this scene we tried to create  younger version of our star. We tried to suggest this by giving him a a leather jacket and bright pants just to give of a younger and more immature version of himself.

For our star, we gave him a light blue button up, we tried to make him resemble an office worker, a life of boredom. We choose for our star to wear this throughout the entire video to show that he is revisiting these memories from a certain time point in the future.

Scenes

1st car scene 

We gave our star a fancy sports car to show that he is a wealthy individual with more material needs, but the passenger seat we left empty to show that he is missing a part of his life. 

Mall date scene

During the date scenes in the mall, we gave a natural lighting without the blue and purple lights. This was to show that this memory was remembered more vividly by Jun hence why the distortions are minimal. Jun then appears as a waiter in the date, this shows him staying in proximity of his old self, watching along.

Motorbike

Flashback - hallucinations, travelling with his own past self to revisit another story. Juna following behind = he misses it very much, natural lighting = core memory, remembered as it is.

The scene cuts to black to signify a flashback. Again we use the natural lighting to show that it is something he remembers well. Jun is seen revisiting a old memory and following his old self with his past lover.

Car Scene 2

In this scene we chose a cheaper car (its not a sports car) to show that Jun has sacrificed his material wealth for love instead and feels more fulfilled because of it. We chose to do this scene during a sunset as sunsets often connote happiness, love and comfort which represents the status of the relationship at that point

Eventually we bring back the purple lighting to show that this memory is distorted by some emotions of anguish and sadness. We do not feature the present-day Jun in this scene as we want to show that he is reluctant to visit this point in time. Something he cannot fully forget but doesn't want to remember.

In the end, as the car drives away, Jun returns to the scene. We do this to show his cowardice to visit that time period. The purple and blue lights are especially highlighted onto him to show his emotion after watching that event. He feels saddened and heavy at heart.

Break-up scene

In this scene we chose for the car to stop suddenly, as if for an emergency. We do this to show that Jun's world stops in a sudden when they break up.

In the end we show young Jun leaving as we reduce the lighting eventually, this shows him slowly forgetting the progression of the story past this point

This part of the story we could say comes full circle as a cycle of immaturity leads Jun to love then back into anguish.

Beach scene

In the ending scene, we chose the beach as in Asian culture, the beach is where we like to throw out all the old ashes. We do this to signify the death of the past. When Young Jun turns away, the pink filter is removed to show the reality then we cut back to present-day Jun to show that he is finally realized where he is in reality
