Directing the actor into the music

Flares story ...

This gentle piano-based tune started off as love song. However, after Danny O'Donoghue's mother suffered a brain aneurysm as the band began recording, it took on new meaning for the frontman. "It's about faith - 'did you see the flares in the sky, were you blinded by the light…' And I did, yeah," admitted the otherwise sceptical vocalist. "The situation changed and it was a f---ing miracle."

O'Donoghue added that the track is a "very uplifting song, about people getting past adversity. And when you're told by more than one doctor that your mum won't make it through the night… Well, the only person who changed that - challenged that - was my mum. And she fought her way through to where she is now."

Planning according to the story ...

As this song is a very sad content. Me and my actor have discussed about the story to get the emotion out while filming this as e=the face expressions are very crucial for acting which would come after the knowledge of the music video and the story behind.

As a result we were successful in getting the emotions out from my actor which allowed me to edit the music video in a sad way with the flow and the emotion of the song.
