Idea Pitch based on lyrics

The main idea my group and I had thought of was vastly similar.
I firstly decided that the overall theme of the piece should be dark, slow and slightly horror themed. This was because - in relation to the music - the terms of 'ghoulish entities' and 'ghostly enemies' enforces the portrayal of a paranormal and scary theme. I believe we could incorporate this aspect into our piece whereby our character and narrative is mainly set in a dark forest; a stereotypical convention of horror pieces. We could incorporate the ghosts and ghouls with the character, or around him.

Additionally, the part that writes 'pull up your sheets' suggest that the basis of this song is within a bedroom, probably at night time. This leads me on to believe that the idea of ghosts and ghouls in a night time environment revolves around a nightmare that the character is having. From this, I can finalize that I think my video should revolve around the character in a nightmare, walking around a forest surrounded by paranormal entities.

The name of the song Trials of the Past also has an influence on my idea for this music video. My idea also revolves around some sort of history for the character, and how he is suffering consequences for his past actions, hence the word 'trials'. My idea for this part is the character chasing his (ghost) self around the forest. This incorporates an idea of a past, as well as ghosts in the forest.

To summarize, based on the lyrics in this song, my idea is as follows:
I picture a character waking up in the forest, in his nightmare. He is walking around, and is encountered by himself as a ghost. As he walks through, he is lead to different places, and cannot seem to catch up with his ghost. This enourages the idea of disillution, lack of lucidity as well as confusion.
