WHY I WANT TO MAKE THIS VIDEO? part 2
as well as this for me theres a theme behind the title of the track which is called NO FACE NO FEELINGS this personal for me is about feelings that i have and that i go through and all of the things that i do in order to stray away from them and not face them face first as i constantly try to run away from them and having multiple different coping mechanisms. as the song explains due to how long this has all been going on im fed up of it all and how its effecting me and what im doing in order to cope. and the reason of this track is to share all of this whilst at the same time showcasing visually a film that doesn't show my face for how it is naturally as theres shots with me with demonic eyes or there layered behind the tv for the video or its just simply my shadow casted over some footage. so theres a theme and meaning to this whole song and in a way its allowed me to get a-lot of my chest and turn something thats a burden to me in my day to day life a bit more bare able and allows me to get better and hopefully for others that actually listen to the lyrics allows them to be able to feel comfortable with how they are feeling especially when it comes to males.
i feel like mental health is a very big problem for my target audience and which is my generation as a whole. as a male i feel like its something that isnt talked about enough due to the fact that society has a stigma surrounding it thats mainly being enforced by the older generations. a majority of the older generation dont fully understand what we are expressing and that things that younger males go through and even tho some dont understand which is always the case with somethings in life its the fact that they are ignorant with the approach towards male mental health issues and will state things such as “manning up” or just to “smile” or they will simply just choose not to believe the feelings you are expressing as to them in society men are not meant to have all of these feelings etc and are meant to be the “bread winners” and the man of the family https://www.theguardian.com/money/2016/aug/19/men-breadwinners-health-effects-wellbeing
as this article shows most men who act as this type of male in reality are incredibly likely to face these mental health effects and because of all these traditional gender roles and there peers surrounding them they are not able to say anything about it without seeming week and not a “real man”.
for me i just wanted to get stuff off my own chest that im hoping will help others male and female so i hope for my project that i am able to do this for people that listen to the lyrics properly as for my generation and target audience of my project this is forever becoming a growing problem and its only going to get worse.
