The song is a love song, so the narrative is easy. We have decided to stay as closely to the lyrics as possble when shooting the music video. To explain the narrative i'm going to use Todorov's narrative theory which includes 5 stages.
1. A state of equilibrium.
The song is about a heartbroken man who wants to reunite with is girlfriend and why doing this he goes back to the place they met hoping to meet her again.
2. A Disruption of that order
There will be shots of the girl out with friends and getting on with her life and not thinking about the man.
3. A recognition that the disorder has occurred
The man has flashbacks of when he was with the girl and they were in a happy relationship. We will use a green screen to create the flashbacks and edit them to black & white to show they are past memories.
4. An attempt to repair the damage
In an attempt to make his wish come true we will show a shot of the man's imagination. The shot will be the girl hearing about the man waiting on the corner where they met and go running back to him. To show it is the man's imagination we will edit it and give it a whitewash effect.
5. A new equilibrium is made
The man realises it is his imagination. The new equilibrium is now the man knows that it was all his imagination and the girl is leading a happy life without him but he still decides to wait on the corner just in case the girl returns one day.
