Dreaming of you. The story of our video

A young man sits alone in his room, saddened by the recent break up with his girlfriend. He moves around the room doing different things, keeping himself busy. He stays there for hours. He sits on his bed in darkened room with his head in his hands and thinks of the good times he and his girlfriend shared together.  He stares at pictures of them together getting more upset by the second, before putting them in his pocket and walking out of his room for the first time in days.  He decides to go to the park to get some fresh air and clear his head.  He sits on his favorite bench in the entire park, the bench where he shared his first kiss with his girlfriend. He sits for a while, thinking and taking in the fresh air. Then he sees her. She walks past hand in hand with another man. A brief moment of awkward and heartbreaking eye contact is made. Distraught the young man gets up from the bench and marches quickly away without looking back. The girlfriend watching him walk out of her life as if a part of her still loves him. He gets back to his lonely room, still angry but he sees no point in wallowing any more. He stares at his bedroom wall which is covered with memories, moments they’ve shared things they’ve done together. After a moment of starring he lunges forward and proceeds to rip them from the walls, he franticly tares around the room until every trace of her is in pieces. Except one.  He stands in the center of his room and looks at the destruction he’s caused, panting and still holding back tears. He takes out the picture from his pocket and looks at it one more time before crumpling it and dropping it in to the bin. Both mentally and physically exhausted he collapses back in to his chair, where he will no doubt remain for some time.  

This helped us when drawing the storyboard and planning the shots for the first time as it gave us a clear, concrete idea of what we wanted to happen.  We brainstormed intial ideas by creating a word collage. This gave us the key themes and concepts of the song and provided a great starting point to come up with a story.
