On the day we met our representative from The Vees, he seemed very interested in having a narrative included in the production, so we took their view on board. In my research into Snow Patrol, and from Sarah and Helen's research we concluded that having part narrative, part performance fitted in with existing music videos- so we were led by their example.
In order to appeal to the younger end of the target audience, we decided to have two younger actors playing male and female roles, which reflected the lyrics. Helen, got in contact with some of her friends who attend performing arts colleges, and they have agreed to act in the narrative.
The narrative will mainly reflect the broken relationship explained in the song. Some ideas for actual construction of the sequence is to have a split screen (similar to in Snow Patrol's 'Set the Fire to the Third Bar' video), where we would see the couple on the phone arguing or contemplating the end of their relationship. We hope that this will trigger an emotional response for the audience, so that they feel attracted to the song, promoting the band. Another idea we had was showing the guy drive away in his car (reflecting the words of the last verse), leaving the girl standing on her drive way, and the guy looking bar in the rear-view mirror, happy that he's left her, yet sad that the relationship has ended.
