The Pitch

Our Music Video is following an 18 year old girl who witnesses a party rather than being a part of the party. As she visits rooms she sees separated scenarios, creating a multiple-stranded narrative. As the party progresses the scenarios escalate quickly, reflecting the dangerous undertone parties often hold. The protagonist visits the first room to witness a couple arguing. She then wanders into the kitchen to witness beer pong as well as witnessing a pair of males sprinkling an unknown powder into a drink. She leaves the room and she discovers a girl passed out in a bedroom next to an opened bottle of enigmatic pills and a male character in another who lay with a note in his hand, un-moving.

The characters are highly Americanised in order to create a cliche party scene. The cliches are later used to subvert the ideologies held towards parties. For example, the sporty, popular character who will have committed suicide. This challenges the audience's own knowledge and preconceptions of characters as they would assume he would not die.

The music video follows a similar narrative in that there are separate scenes which are passively observed by the main character. For example, one of the first narratives observed includes a male character dancing suggestively with a female and then his boyfriend separates them. Then, later on in the music video the same couple are on the stairs having an argument. As well as this, another "jock" character is in the bathroom with a girl drinking and then is seen walking out with the girl who is in an intoxicated state, casting a dark undertone to the song in order to reflect the bubbly synth sound juxtaposed against the dark, drug-related lyrics.
