Regret - A Kotor Music Video

[Ausanan 13]

Hey guys, I'm just making this post to let you know that I have created a Kotor music video titled Regret and I was wondering if you all could check it out and give me some feedback. Any constructive criticism is GREATLY appreciated. Thank you all very much for reading.

PS. See if you all can figure out the "storyline" of the music video. *Hint* - It's related to the title.

Hi! Good job putting all of that together! Having put music videos together in the past, I know it can be difficult to fill in a full song's length of footage. I noticed a couple of repeated scenes, but to be fair there's not much visually interesting content to draw from this game.

 

As far as the "storyline" of the music video, I am a little lost, but that is mostly because I recognize both the song and the footage separately and can't envision them together.

 

That is my bias though.

 

If I had to offer some constructive criticism, I would say keep repeated scenes to a minimum

Thank you so much for checking out the video and for the feedback.

 

Yes I thought people would say that about the repeated scenes. The reason I did that though was because they only repeated during the chorus of the song. (Part that repeats) So I thought that by repeating those scenes at that time would make sense.

 

As for the "storyline" the title is Regret and through the video the clips are overall appearing in the sequence you would see them in a play through, signifying that this is happening over the course of the game.

 

In the song the lyrics go "I hate feeling like this, I'm so tired of trying to fight this, I'm asleep and all I dream of, Is waking to you" This happens as the PC wakes up where he gets up and Bastila is there, signifying that the PC is dreaming of waking up to Bastila.

 

"And the more I hide I realize I'm slowly losing you" Signifying that the PC wasn't there to help Bastila against Malak and the doors shut, signifying that the PC has "lost" her.

 

"I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe, les I feel you next to me" During this you see Bastila weak and destruction except for when the PC and Bastila are walking together. Signifying that separated the PC and Bastila are weak.

 

"You take the pain I feel" Here the PC and Bastila are sparring, foreshadowing what is to come.

 

"I don't wanna sleep, I don't wanna dream, cause my dreams don't comfort me, the way you make me feel" Here the PC is restlessly sleeping and having a vision meaning sleep troubles the PC. Where he then sees Bastila, who comforts the PC.

 

You can then see the sith armada, signifying they are winning.

 

"I hate living without you" Here the PC is facing Bastila, signifying that the PC hates having to face Bastila rather then have her by his side.

 

"But my demons lay in waiting, tempting me away" Here the PC is having a vision of the confrontation between Revan and Bastila, signifying that the PC's true identity of Revan is still present and tempts him to reclaim the title of the dark lord. (you'll understand why by the end)

 

"I'll never wake up without an overdose of you" The PC is won't wake up without Bastila.

 

"Waking up to you never felt so real" The Republic is being destroyed because Bastila has turned to the dark side and the only thing the PC can do to save it is to kill Bastila so she can't use her battle meditation

 

The PC finally wakes up and looks around looking for Bastila but she is nowhere to be found as the PC killed her to save the Republic (notice the Jedi robe) as every time the PC was "waking up to Bastila throughout the video he was simply dreaming it.

 

The reason for the dark side and Revan's identity tempting the PC to the dark side was because if the PC had of turned to the dark side and reclaimed the title of Dark Lord, he would of been able to save Bastila. (like Anakin's reason for initially turning.

 

Now that you know all that, try re-watching the video to see what you thin of it now.
