Story Outline
A girl has has committed suicide by overdose because she saw her boyfriend with another girl and has now been dumped by text. The new couple now rub their relationship in her face i.e. laughing at her behind her back, posting facebook status (i love blah.... so happy right now etc.). She receives abusive texts from them and other people, belittling her confidence. Eventually she will snap and decide to take her own life. The story starts with her already dead, and uses a series of flashbacks to tell her story. The end of the video will be of her family surrounding her 'grave' with the people who have made her do this are standing apart from them looking guilty. The idea of this video is to provoke a reaction from the audience and make them think about how we treat people.
Sections of the Music
Instrumental - Starts with her laying dead, flashes to happy times, then gets increasingly gloomy. We see that they are growing apart (shown by the shots off them together quickly followed by her sitting by herself) it finally boils down to her seeing him with another girl, and she explodes with anger just as the music changes and gets rockier.
Main Music - Could have her leaving objects of significance near the boy the flower on her chest at the start of the video (that he could have given her in the happier flashback?). The abuse over the internet begins, and we see her losing control, this section of music ends with a particularly nasty text. We see frequent references to death (black clothing, cuts to petals being picked off the flower?)
Breakdown in Music - This is the point where she eventually cannot take
any more and decides to kill herself.
Back to Main Music - See her laying out pills as the new couple are perhaps laughing?, she succeeds and we see the 'ghost girl' smile (to show her new freedom?), ends with a shot off her family standing around the grave with her abusers standing apart from them.
Here is the new moodboard I have created to capture the mood of our new idea:
