SUMMARY

Sony “Immerse Yourself” was written and conceptualized as an introspective glance at the personal trials and tribulations faced by aspiring artists. This story in particular focuses on the brand’s niche target audience – young, urban, aspiring hip-hop artists. My vision was to capture the defining moments of the main character’s life and share these emotive glimpses with the audience. During the scripting and development stages, it was important to consider how each of the main character’s milestones would influence his decisions to overcome his fears and immerse himself into his music - an overarching catalyst that drives the story. I wanted to maintain an authentic narrative as the primary focus and have the Sony headphones as the character’s indispensable tool. Subtextually, the headphones provide the young artist with a physical and emotional layer of comfort and support, accelerating his ability to immerse himself into his craft and embrace his destiny.
