Casting Decisions:
Casting the video was not a hard choice, I wanted the video to focus around the narrative, thus I needed only one character to reflect the story told through the lyircs. Due to the face the song was my own, I thought it best for me to play the character. And so, had a close friend record the footage under my direction.

Shot Reasons:
The repetitive use of the shots was too help reflect the sense of the character's mental state of mind, a visual manifestation of his entrapment. The smudge effect added was to create more emphasis and too reflect on the album's abstract theme.
