Group Meeting 3

After choosing the song for our video, myself and Alex began to discuss ideas. Originally we decided to to take a more conceptual approach and some of the ideas we discussed featured strong social messages with literal interpretations of the song title "Aspirin"
An idea we both approved of related to the idea of taking a pill, in this case an aspirin, not just to make you feel physically better but also to improve other aspects of your life such as wealth, appearance and intelligence. The message behind this idea was society's reliance on quick fixes, the constant search for an instant solution to problems. However, after more thought we decided that this may not be an appropriate idea as it could appear to be glamorising the use of drugs.

We then began to discuss more narrative based ideas. An idea which we felt was particularly strong was that of a girl who is lost and is trying to find her way home and along the way she repeatedly tries to get help and ignored. We like this idea as there is a strong social message behind it, society is often selfish and reluctant to help others. This is the idea we have chosen to base our video around and have documented in the timeline.
