Music Video

The narrative for my music video is a student who wants to learn piano and gets an abusive teacher to teach her although she is too abusive to properly teach her so the protagonist has to study herself to get good at the piano and after impressing the teacher refuses her praise and shows her the door. The music video is partially inspired by the film 'Whiplash' with the plot of an abusive teacher. This is referenced in two scenes of the protagonist studying with movie playing in the background. I managed to keep most of the editing on beat for all the scenes I wanted to. I used editing to also show the passing of time to emphasise her devotion to studying with a wipe from a brighter daytime to a darker night time.

Website

My website's homepage has the same colour as the bedroom with the merch page having the same colour as the wall in the piano room of the music video to create synergy between the two products. The timetable from the video also appears to further this synergy with the tour dates on it being crossed out as you hover over it like the days of the week in the video. The memes on the hall of memes section of the page include screenshots of the video with text written over them which fits the humour of the target audience of young people with the Tweets further establishing this audience.
