Twenty is a journey without a map. We face uncertainty and problems. We encounter fluttering and emotions. No matter what we experience, this will be the youth we write for ourselves. So enjoy your 20s.

Brief Introduction
This is a trailer for the music video "20" by Seventeen. 20 is a song expressing the pure, innocent yet passionate love at the age of 20, meanwhile including the sign of growing up. The trailer employs multimedia to create the dream-like 20s, demonstrating the topics of growing, which will be discussed in the actual music video.
20 — a journey without a map. The future too far, the present too bright. standing at the crossroads, we listen to the wind whispering the unknown. Sometimes we feel lost, unsure of where to go, uncertain of who we are, Our hearts race at unexpected moments— At a glance, a word, a faint touch. But we’re learning not to fear uncertainty. Learning to embrace ourselves Learning to cherish the small moments. To laugh, cry, run, and pause— answers written by youth. So Are you ready?
Brainstorm
In poetic language, the problems people would encounter at the age of 20 are narrated in detail, such as uncertainty, confusion about the future, self-awareness, and the feelings of attraction. Each question revolves around us, like clouds and like dreams. So dream-core and surrealism is used for the narrative part. To introduce audience to the actual bright and optimistic music, the visual will switch to another realistic and warm style.
Sound
Since there are two parts - surreal dream-core and realistic warm, the sound should be different. To be more dream-core, distorted sound mimicking radio is used along with radio-related sound effects such as current noise. For the second part, non-distorted voiceover is used to provide a more realistic feeling. Accompany of the music is used when narrative is happening, and music with vocal is used to heighten atmosphere when there is no voiceover. Every switch between two styles is done by the combination of the glitch sound, channel changing sound, and button pressing sound. Voiceover need to be warm to bring a feeling of amiable and shorten the distance between the audience.

Postproduction
In this project, I tried physical media to make the dream-core part look more textured, blurry and surreal meanwhile stimulating the effect of old TV.
