The vision of my music video The vision of my music video is to make people aware of the prisoners of war during World War II. These people are often looked very and many of them are considered missing in action. Many of these people did escape and did make it back home. My music video tells the story of a man that did make it home alive after being a prisoner of war, from both the perspective of the war and of modern day.

This is a mood board for the different styles of make-up that I could use in my music video. At the moment I like the natural look most as it is not to in your face but is still bold.

This is helping e to begin to make decisions about what I will include in my final product.

This is helping me to begin to make decisions about what I will include in my final products.
