I'm planning to divide up my footage by having life performance and a narrative story mixed together. I plan on achieving this by creating the story as I would in any other music video but near the end of the song I will make a small live performance scene. This will occur when Michael uses his hands to form a rectangle and looks through them.(I will edit this in after effects using masks) while looking through them he sees a different world and notices a drum kit and a mic stand. He then starts to perform with a drummer after he has 'Polarized' and can see things in a different way. The video finishes with a finale where they are performing and it gives the feel good factor and the viewer can see he's accomplished something and can maybe sort out his life from now on. He finally walks away and the screen fades to black at the end of the song.
I also plan on having small cuts to Michael singing every now and then to remind the viewer that he is the one singing the song and all the words relate to what he is doing in the video. One idea that I have had is to give him a single floor tom from a drum kit and make him hit it 3 times like it does in the song. This is because he can hit it really hard and display all his emotions by taking out his anger on the drum. This also will count as live performance a he will only hit the drum in time to the song when it has the loud 3 hits of the drum.
