Narrative Plot


  • The opening of the song is very hymn-like therefore I am going to start my video with a wedding set up where eventually my protagonist runs out of the church leaving the groom and vicar bewildered. I am hoping to make this scene comical to entertain my audience, 


  • Next it is the chorus where I will have 2  females and my main protagonist dancing in a night club scene which should be fun and exciting


  • After this I will define my storyline with my protagonist flicking through an obsessive journal full of pictures of the men's hearts she has broken, and I will focus on her next 2 targets. This will show her obsessed mind. The main focus will be at the end of the journal where it says "secret date at ... house" to show the audience where the story is heading. I took this idea from Mean Girls and made an intertextual reference to the burn book.


  • Again the chorus will be repeated - this is so the video is not too random and has the theme of my protagonist being dominant and breaking hearts and has some continuity to show it is an ongoing cycle.


  • In the next part of the song I thought victim number two could come in, since the sound is very deep and mysterious I thought I could have my protagonist leaving someone in the night who had been in a supposedly long relationship. 

  • At certain fitting lines I will have cut backs to the wedding scene (this is further developed on in my lyrics analysis post) whilst looking into a mirror like a flashback.

  • After this part of the song, the beat changes and the tone is of something omnipotent and almost has a religious feel. I had to think for a long time about what to do in this section, and eventually decided upon using the green room to portray another exciting disco world in which she belongs. Also in this part I will cut back to revisit the boys who have had their hearts broken, an idea taken from the song It's My Life and see the emotional turmoil and consequences of this action.

  • Again the chorus will be repeated - this is so the video is not too random and has the theme of my protagonist being dominant and breaking hearts and has some continuity to show it is an ongoing cycle.


  •  However at the very end I will have my protagonist walk into the last victims house where he naively has created a romantic setting to try to seduce her, ironically she has the upper hand in seducing him and ultimate control, which carries through my initial theme of empowered women. towards the end she will literally nod and wink at the camera to confirm the audience's thoughts that he is the next target and blow out a candle which will then fade to darkness as a sort of cliff hanger and enigma
