Inspiration for Music Video Idea (The Book of Eli)

The Book of Eli 

At around minute eleven Eli is shown to be feeling the book with his eyes closed, mouthing what he reads. At the end of the movie the camera shoots close-up to his eyes. There is no other reason to do this except to highlight his eyes, and there is nothing remarkable about them except that they don't see. The bible's braille. The writer very well knew the phrase "blind faith" would come to the viewer's mind. I'm reminded by this discussion page how ineffective Wikipedia is doomed to be. You go through the whole of your life assuming things. You assume your teacher is right. Often they are half-right. You assume your most trusted media outlet gives you true information. You assume there are people on this earth, though the only evidence of that indeed comes from your own "original research" through observation. Wikipedia should not exist on the opinions of people whose qualifications cannot be assessed, and for that you have the wisdom of sources, which themselves inevitably trickle down to original research through observation. Not everything is quantified. 

For our video we took a lot of inspiration from the film 'The Book of Eli'. The film is set in a post-apocalyptic world. The film centres around the idea of survival, initially not revealing the main character (Eli) is in fact blind. The concept of the movie inspired use to follow the story of making the main character in our video be blind. Studying the film influenced as to think of a lot of different ideas to how exactly we could portray the notion of blindness in an effective and unique way.
