Brief project analogy,

'Light' metaphoric for hope, life and passion, is suggested it can be found everywhere if you look hard enough, even in the darkest places, metaphoric for hardest struggles.

The structure of 'Light' starts with dull/unsaturated atmosphere of Sydney, to set the theme with the narrative voice while creating a strong contrast towards later parts of the video, this section involves various day to day activities such as train, walking the streets, watching the sun go down, that is relatable to everyone around the world.

The short narrative montage film then transitions into the famous light, ideas and music festival 'Vivid Sydney' depict a visually staggering piece of the beauties of life, true moments caught on camera, of friends or strangers, with kids, elderly of people from all different walks of life. This section quickly changes to a brighter and more colorful feel.

At the ending, the entire vivid imagination aspect reverses and returns back to the start which portrays the possibility that the vision you seek is not far ahead, along with the musical piece consistently reinforcing "Don't make me look back no more" and encouraging to move on.
