My Pitch

My Pitch

At the beginning of the video it shows the aftermath of a party that happened the night before. As the main character wakes up he witnesses the aftermath of the night before- all of which he does not remember. As he gets up to try and remember what has happened he sees himself in a mask- the mask represents the other side to him and portrays a slightly schizophrenic-self. 

After witnessing himself in the mask he tries to remember what happened by going upstairs to change. This action gets distracted when he sees there is some unknown female in his bed, confused and aggravated he leaves his room and goes down stairs to drink his tea. As he places the cup back down a wave of realization comes over him as he remembers the night before and begins to get wound up by his actions. 

The lyrics contradict his actions "Yeah, yeah and it's ok" when it is obviously the opposite. "I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way, yeah yeah and I'm alright...I took a sip of something poison but I'll hold on tight". This part of the lyrics refers to suicide and ironically not being "alright". The main characters actions will portray this. 

As the percussion of drums, bass and guitar begin in the bridge of the song, the main characters motif is displayed as he strolls along the river front as a way of releasing his anger.

"you play the game but you gotta cut, 'cuz you're comin' down hard, your joints are off stud" this part of the video is when he selects his prostitute and they exit down the alleyway together, the lyrics fit the actions perfectly. 

As the main character returns from the alley he has lipstick down his face and looks particularly scruffy. He composes himself and the regret sets in and anger starts to well inside of him. As the chorus begins again, you see him unleashing his anger in numerous ways.

After this he returns to his home- again walking past the river front. Before he steps through his door he hesitates and the camera starts to do 360 degree shots all around his head displaying his emotions and eventually showing him in the mask, before eventually walking through the door. The hesitation is because knows in himself he will end up doing something else he regrets. 

As he walks in he heads straight for the cupboard where he keeps his alcohol, he places everything he owns out onto the counter and debates where to start first. He begins to binge drink downing almost anything and everything. Stumbling around, he decides he should leave again. The final shot it him walking off into dark on the river front.
