Narrative Idea For My Video.

After deciding on this track I looked into the lyrics for an idea on which to base a narrative. The obvious would be to have soldiers on a table. However the genre I have been looking into, along with majority of all music videos tend to take a more creative twist on lyrics rather than something so literal.
I have already gained ideas from the videos I have looked at, and I am eager to incorporate these into my own video. Such as slow motion effects and a narrative that displays some of the troubles the character faces.
I would describe this as an indie/rock track. Typically a genre dealing with the social troubles and struggles in everyday life that 'idealistic' genres such as pop, avoid and that rap glamorises.

That’s your brothers lying on the table
You’d blame them but you’ve not been able
Can’t stand around and watch you pour y'eyes out
Run through your mind just a lonely little soldier.

Thanks for nothing you’ve got me confounded
Watch, the enemy got you surrounded
Don’t wait around unless you want to join them
Runnin through your mind just a lonely little soldier.

(Chorus)
You gotta live a little life
You gotta give a little little smile
You gotta love a little life
You gotta give a little little time.

You’ll catch the bullet if you’ve turned your mind on
What direction do you think the line’s on
Don’t think aloud you might just give your game up
Run through your mind just a lonely little soldier.

Send for cover from those desperados
Leave the whiskey hiding in the shadows
Don’t hang around unless they’re playing your song
Run through your mind just a lonely little soldier.

Chorus

Cheers, your daddy he got you invited
What’s the point in getting all excited?
Don’t hurry home cos he aint got his arms wide
Run through your mind just a lonely little soldier.

Thanks for nothing you’ve got me confounded
Watch, the enemy got you surrounded
Don’t wait around unless you want to join them
Runnin through your mind just a lonely little soldier.

Chorus to fade.

My idea for the narrative is a young man becoming very distressed from different pieces of news focusing on political and military struggles in the form of newspaper articles. I hope to convey the overwhelming feeling of stress and isolation the character is experiencing. This would be shown with lots of shots showing him running from the media. This will hopefully give the effect of stress and confusion, with the video ending with the character giving up as he realises he cant keep running.
I decided that a male character would be better suited to the genre due to the vocalist being male, as well as after further reviewing of the music videos I have analysed.
I intend to use slow motion to parallel the distortion in emotion with that of time.
I believe that the focus of the narrative should begin in a home-like situation as it makes it more personal to the audience.With this being a key point to the genres appeal.
