The melody of "After Midnight" paints a dreamlike ambiance, carrying the heartache of a woman yearning for her lost love, as depicted in its lyrics. We infuse the song with a guitar's emotive backdrop to enhance this aura and accentuate the sentiment with flowers and love-imbued letters.
The video unfolds with a fresh bloom and pristine letter, a tender prologue. Time's passage is poignantly portrayed as the flower wilts and letters age to a warm hue, concluding the tale. Listening with headphones, our lead relives cherished moments, the screen dancing playfully with circular motifs on the headset, camera lens, and umbrella.

After Midnight - Milky Day
Lyrics

(Please don't leave me
Sitting here alone
Please don't hurt me
You're the only one I want)
Please don't leave me
Sitting here alone
Please don't hurt me
You're the only one I want
When tomorrow comes
You're not where I want you to be
When tomorrow comes
I guess I have to set you free
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
It's after midnight
I'm off again
Time to say good night
It's after midnight
I'm off again
Time to say good night
Please don't leave me
Sitting here alone
Please don't hurt me
You're the only one I want
When tomorrow comes
You're not where I want you to be
When tomorrow comes
I guess I have to set you free
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

We drew inspiration from the cinematography style employed in the movie "Atonement" (2007) to capture the desired atmosphere of the song. The film creates a dreamy ambiance by placing stockings over the camera lens. Similarly, during the filming of our project, we also utilized stockings over the camera to evoke a similar ethereal quality.
