Video Planning - Themes for the Music Video

Music videos, similarly to films, can incorporate themes. In the video we plan to incorporate the themes of love, lack of commitment and anger.

Love is a theme that is widely used across many mediums like books, films and music. I feel that it is very important to incorporate an important theme like love because this theme is easy to understand. The song that we chose is about love and how it is broken. So through the broken love, we see the introduction of anger. Our main character would be really angry because before she had loved someone who she had trusted. But because her boyfriend was unable to commit time to her and she is 'stood up' regularly, she dumped him. We though that love song with elements of anger in it would make our video unique as the norm is to feel upset or happy when matters regard love.

The song itself, accompanied by the lyrics, is full of very negative feelings. This justifies the choices we made for the themes that should be involved with the video.
