Narrative Synopsis.

In my animatic, it opens with a woman running away from something. She is running past trees and as the intro ends she leans against a tree with a panicking look on her face. I have done this to make the audience think, 'What is she running from?'. Then throughout the song, she is shown playing a guitar in a warehouse/abounded area location. It is then reveal at the end of the first verse that her leg is strapped to the chair. This is when the audience will then begin to believe something is wrong. The chorus shows her beside a tree as she sings, and each sentence she sings ends with a shot of her and her 'boyfriend'. I have chose her to be beside the tree for a certain reason in the chorus, as once it ends, it cuts to her running again, and in the same shot she is running past the same tree. This may then lead the audience to believe it is something to do with her boyfriend of her relationship that she is running/tied to a chair, as it is made clear she is talking about her relationship. The second verse then goes back to her singing in the chair with some more shots of her being trapped, then back to the chorus again beside the tree to really make sure the audience understand that she is trapped and is worried about her relationship. Once the outro begins, she is seen dropping the rope that tied her to the chair and running towards a door, eventually bursting out to show her escaping. This should link in the audience's mind back to the beginning when she is running away, as it is a circular narrative and the beginning of the video was really the end of the narrative.
