Music video synopsis

The music video starts off with our main character - Lateshia – waking up because of an argument between her mother and brother. This is the norm for her. She’s had a violent upbringing as her father used to beat her mother until he walked out. Before the song starts we’re going to add a voice-over of muffled shouting and arguing; Lateshia won’t react like you’d expect a ‘teenager’ to. This is because it happens all the time. From the first few seconds in the opening the audience can why the following events happen. The song immediately starts as the door slams.

We aim to shoot the majority of the music video like a home video, therefore Lateshia will be filming herself  a lot (handheld). Everything that surrounds her will be dark and unresponsive to reflect what she’s feeling. Upon hearing the argument she starts to pack her little amount of possession into a backpack and leave.

Once she’s left the house the atmosphere begins to change; getting a little brighter and brighter as time passes. She starts to embark on a journey, she walks through rough estates, towns, catches a train, anything to get away from her troubled past. On her journey she makes friends who influence her mood, who begin to make not so ‘alone in this’.
