The song is about a girl who has lost a lover due to her cheating, or making a mistake, as she so subtly puts it. It is a tale of sorrow, melancholy and regret, the objective of the protagonist being on a quest to redeem herself and to convince her ex-lover to forgive her of the sin she had once committed.
The performance element will be the protagonist and artist singing. She will be alone in an empty room.
Additionally, the film is to be recorded at night - only the ominous shroud of night could represent the emotions the protagonist is feeling. Also, one of the first lyrics of the song states that it is 3am. Continuity is important - we wouldn't want to be like Ed Wood. All humour aside, the mis-en-scene is two have a dark theme to it as to truly capture what was felt by the writer of this song at the time it was written. The song was a reflection of the composers emotional state; as will be the video.
I have chosen not to include a dance in my video, despite being influenced by Nick Cave, the reason for this being I feel a more simplistic video would be preferable for a song such as this.
