The song
Press play, then read on.
SYNOPSIS
In a time when the entire world feels vulnerable, isolated, helpless and lonely, this song hits deep in the aching hearts of the world. Vulnerability comes in many forms, from emotional, physical and psychological.
We want the film to be an homage to all of life's growing pains and aim to paint the picture of our collective hardships and heartaches through poetic imagery and spaces.
The film Vulnerable will follow Shanaazs journey in different areas of her life, all portraying the true feelings of helplessness, tension, misfortune and of course, vulnerability.

STORY
Each scene will explore problems in her life including family life - parents constantly fighting, to chaos on the news such a COVID, social injustices and natural disasters, to relationship issues and mental health such as anxiety and depression. Shanaaz will be performing in a series of vignettes, often solo or with actors behind her dramatizing a situation (ex. parents fighting) , in places like a kitchen, bedroom, a car, or a park, shut out from the world. With ominous lighting, foggy surroundings, realistic staging, shadows and shades of yellow, red and blue, the feelings will be brought to life.

CINEMATOGRAPHY
Throughout the video we want to use beautiful long takes that allow the viewer to soak in the lyrics and feel the vibe of the lonely yet colorful rooms. We want the viewer to feel the emotions portrayed in this song through the visuals we provide.
We also want to utilize turning or spinning the camera to add to a sort of surreal, off the ground, floating and submersive feel.

PRODUCTION DESIGN
These sets will be built and lit entirely in studio for maximum control with light and range for complex camera movements. Aesthetically and practically a controlled studio environment allows a lot of creatives liberties to create the environment we're trying to achieve.
