The song I chose was Jefferson Aeroplane’s
White Rabbit. My interpretation of the song talks about the good and bad
choices we make and how it greatly affects us as a person. I wanted to show
this idea through my contrasting triptych that lets the viewer pick their
ending through the choice they make. I
decided to base my idea on drink driving; an ongoing problem that our society
frequently sees that could lead to life or death.
The lyrics I chose were:
“One pill makes you larger, and one pill
makes you small”
First verse introduces the two choices that
the viewer can make, and the outcome is greatly affected by it. This scene is
located in the middle of the triptych and shows the viewer walking out of a bar
and has been possibly drinking. She then splits into two and walks in separate
directions. There are cars and taxis aligned on both sides to indicate the
choices the viewer can make. I used contrasting colours for the taxi and cars
to foreshadow the scene they will pick. The brighter colours indicate a good
ending and the dull colours would be the bad. Depending on what person the
viewer decides to follow, will determine their outcome of the story.
“Go ask Alice, I think she’ll know”
The chorus indicates that the viewer has
received advices from someone. In this case, the consultant is somebody sober
and will take the viewer to the right direction. In this scene, the viewer
decided to pick the left side (the taxi). I used bright and warm colours to portray a
cosy atmosphere as the viewer got home safely and is shown to be spending time
with her family.
“When logic and proportion, have fallen
sloppy dead”
The second verse talks about losing
yourself and making bad choices that will lead to a bad outcome. In this scene,
the viewer decided to drink and drive, leading to their death. The dull colour
represents the empty and sad mood felt when we decide to make a bad choice.
