My Second Idea

My second idea:

The song Travelling Alone by Passenger is about two stories. the first part of the song is about an older couple who both decided once they have saved enough money up and once they have retired, they would travel the world together. This is because neither of them went travelling before and they needed to stay in work until they saved the money. However, sadly, a week or so before they were going to go travelling together, the wife suddenly and sadly passed away. Despite this, the husband still had the bravery to travel around the world on his own. The second part of the story is about a couple who were in a relationship for over 10 years had broken up after the soon to be husband cheated on his girlfriend. The lyrics both mirror each others stories as to how difficult life is and how they have to cope with their individual circumstances.

We would start by shooting the man sitting on his own, with people walking past him and him feeling sorry for himself. He would then stare at a picture of him and his wife. We would then track him and emphasise situations, such as dining for two, where he can only dine for one. This would then create an emotional bond with the audience as we don't want him to feel lonely.

The second part of the song would then start and we would see her burst into tears and talk about his ex boyfriend, we would cross cut to the boyfriend find a new girlfriend and cut back to see how she suffers. We can see a shadow of the couple holding hands. the video would end of the old man from the first part of the video, meeting the woman from the second part of the video. This would come together as continuity editing.
