Our Actors

Because our video involves lots of different narratives, we need a variety of actors to portray each of our characters. This includes young and old, male and female. 

Our first actress is Emily. She is playing the role of the young woman who is splitting up with her partner. She will be seen near the beginning of the video and will be a running character, as will all of them. Near the end of the video there will be a section of flashbacks for all characters. This will see Emily arguing with her partner, just before she leaves and perhaps before the argument itself. 




Our second set of characters are Anne & Stan. They will play an elderly couple who are separated through death. One of them will sadly pass away, leaving the other as a widow. Their story will show the other on their own and how much they truly miss them. Again we will have flashbacks showing them together before they passed away.

Album Cover Inspiration

As we are nearing the completion of our music video, we have began thinking about the album cover artwork for our song and music video. As our whole video bases around the theme of loss, we have concluded that we need an abstract image to represent this, some sort of motif or picture with connotations of loneliness.

We have been brainstorming ideas and have thought that either a misty picture of an open landscape would look authentic in creating the aura of loneliness and a deserted feeling. Contrastingly, we have seen that from Andrew Belle's previous album covers, that there are always people (particularly himself) featured. With this in mind, we thought that a dark and solemn picture of a man alone at a bar (a shot we intend to use within our music video) would also match the connotations we are seeking to represent.
