First Stages of Establishing a Story

I have written down the lyrics of BRAIN DAMAGE in block letters so I can attempt to analyse them. I want to try and figure out the deeper meaning behind the song, which I can portray in my video. 

There are clearly references to Syd Barrett’s activities during his mental breakdowns. “You lock the door, throw away the key” could be alluding to Barret locking his girlfriend in a closet for three days and occasionally feeding her biscuit rations. I was thinking I can do a slow motion shot of a key going through the air and landing on a pile of opened biscuit packets.

I would try and make the video conform to Andrew Goodwin’s theory of amplification, though there will be some brief relationships between the lyrics and the visuals.

In the opening of BRAIN DAMAGE, I want to have a gliding shot, in a field of some sort, moving forward toward an unfocused figure – clearly sitting on the grass - in the distance.
