Synopsis

My music video will be a narrative diegesis. I have interpreted the song as a story about a girl trying to come to terms with the death of her boyfriend. I want to represent this in the storyline in the video, by setting it in the autumn, when leaves are dying and falling from the trees and it links directly to the song title, 'autumn leaves'. The video will begin in the present with the girlfriend. It will then make use of flashbacks to tell the story of their relationship. The flashbacks will include the couple looking over their old photographs, walking, fighting, and the death of her boyfriend (which she blames herself for). The present will include the girl experiencing hallucinations, drinking heavily and trying to get over her boyfriend dying. The music video will follow the girl as she tries to deal with day to day life, and cope with the loss of her boyfriend.
