Our video ‘Overdose’ shows what happens when a stressful youth gets hooked on to drugs. In the video, Bala, a teenage student, is getting increasingly stressed from the ever-increasing workload. He thinks taking drugs every now and then would be an efficient way to cope with stress. However, weeks turn into days, days turn into hours, and he starts buying drugs more and more often to try and reach that high he first felt when he tried meth for the first time. His parents try to prevent him from taking drugs, and keep confiscating any traces of drugs, and try to help him return to his normal state, but to no avail. In the end, Bala takes a lethal dose of fentanyl, and passes away in his bed at home. Bright, saturated and vivid colours are used when the drug addict takes drugs, which shows his view of the world getting happier, but unnaturally, just like how increasing saturation is an unnatural way of boosting colours in videography. As the video goes on, the cuts get faster, camera shakes more, video gets even more distorted. This shows the effect drugs have on our view of the world, and shows how it affects our mental state. As the video goes on, we can see the colour slowly draining out. This represents the happiness and contentness of the drug addict, and the people around them, slowly going away, leaving a grey version of what used to bring them joy.
