Instead, I have chosen a song which is by an independent artist. The song is called 'Jealous Girl' by Ben Kweller. The lyrics of the song are shown below;
BLACK = CHORUS
Hands of silk pulled me and him far apart
The twin that tied each ‘n’ everyone has all been frayed, it’s all undone
In high-heels you run into a night that calls your name. Woah-oh-oh-oh
Jealous girl, jealous girl, what have you done?
I won’t live in a jealous world with anyone
Can’t ya letcha boyfriend be himself sweet jealous girl, oh jealous girl?
Only one yer hurtin’ baby is yourself, sweet jealous girl
I know now even more then before you gotta hold friends high
Some remember what they have when they wave bye-bye
I hope in time, much sooner then years
We can make that climb and dry those tears
And sit down face to face without the gaze of jealous eyes. Woah-oh-oh-oh
Jealous girl, jealous girl, what have you done?
I won’t live in a jealous world with anyone
Can’t ya letcha boyfriend be himself sweet jealous girl, oh jealous girl?
Only one yer hurtin’ baby is yourself, sweet jealous girl
J-j-j-jealous girl!
It’s been three years since ya took my friend he’s been gone for good
I’m just sad that I don’t even miss him like I thought I would
At least he’s got someone on his right
To walk him through the wheezy night
And when he starts to see the light just tell him
“It’s ok honey, it’s alright.” Awoah-oh-oh-oh
Jealous girl, jealous girl, what have you done?
I won’t live in a jealous world with anyone
Can’t ya letcha boyfriend be himself sweet jealous girl, oh jealous girl?
Only one yer hurtin’ baby is yourself, sweet jealous girl

Plot
I will be portraying a narrative music video. A couple are seen showing affectionate emotions towards each other (e.g holding hands, hugging, kissing etc.) in various locations (e.g parks, streets, shopping malls etc.)
However, the boyfriend is seen with this other girl, of which they show affectionate emotions (light kissing). One time, when the couple are out together, the boyfriend tells the girlfriend he is going to get something and will see her in a minute. But he secretly meets the other girl. the girlfriend wonders where he is and she goes looking for him. She finds him with the other girl and is distraught by it, thus she runs away from him. He chases after her in, asking her for forgiveness by trying to hug her etc. However, she pushes him to the floor, hitting his head on an object, which in turn kills him. She is shown in a cold, emotionless stature, shaking. She runs off leaving her boyfriend on the floor.
Throughout the video, I will show the artist singing the song. He will be shown in the scenes where the couple are and where the conflict is happening.
Moreover, I will use a wide range of camera shots, angles, movement, editing, mise-en-scene and of course, sound.
The camera shots which I will be displaying are ELS, LS, MD, CU, ECU. I will vary these shots between each other. Moreover, the angles and the movement of the camera will also be varied, which will portray the effect of the emotions.
For the editing, I will be using a wide range of different techniques. These might include, fast cuts, which will be motivated by the beat of the song, slow motion, cut-ins and cutaways.
Locations
For my music video, I will be filming in different locations. As I live quite near to Central London, I am considering filming around town. I will be filming around and about Oxford Street, where the couple will be seen showing moderate affection. Furthermore, Hyde Park will be considered to be another filming location, again where the couple are seen together. Little bars and cafes will also be shown, portraying the couple. Where the incident happens, where the boyfriend is with the other girl, I will film this at a point in the park, where it will be relatively secretive.
