We film Molly in a dark room, the background fades to darkness as Molly performs to camera. The story is told through her body and eyes as we see the outline of her face and the emotion fills the screen. Molly’s performance keeps us captivated whilst the camera slowly rotates 360 degrees, representing her world, turning upside down, suggesting that things are off-kilter.

Allegra, Do what I want – Music Video

MUSIC VIDEO STORYBOARD & Concept ART

(gallery)

The boards below were commissioned for the music video production of the first single release of Molly Hocking (The Voice 2019 winner), After the night before. The video consists of 2 parts: the performance and the narrative. Due to the COVID-19 restrictions in spring ‘20 the narrative part with extra actor and street location has not been shot.

The aim of this video is to show Allegra as a smart, youthful, and vibrant musical force who doesn’t need to conform to the ‘social online’ pressures young people often face. Throughout the video, we see Allegra unravel the trappings and ‘fake worlds’ of the online platforms and ‘Influencers’, by being confident in herself, flicking her metaphorical finger up and showing the viewer you can be who you want to be in this life and be proud of it. Director Rupert Bryan for Motion Pictures House.
