Initial Draft & Run Through

Below is the original draft treatment for the plan of the narrative which is going to feature in my video.

The shot opens with the image of a door, all of a sudden paper messages start to fly at a sped up pace through the letterbox. The camera cuts to the words on these paper messages which read all sorts of things like LOVE YOU, HATE YOU, OBSESSED WITH YOU and LOVE ME. These messages are supposed to be fanmail and as the camera pans we see that we are left with a large pile of these letters on the floor.


The video then cuts to a shot of a blonde girl (seen in previous projects) in a floaty dress, bursting through the kitchen door discovering fan mail on the floor she stops, picks up the mail rolling around in it and throwing it up in the hair, seemingly ecstatic with the fact that everyone seems to love she goes outside in the darkness for a walk. Where she discovers a giant LOVE YOU teddy bear, she plays with it innocently as before running around in the streetlight full of joy. She also finds a rose on the floor, she picks it up before running off with it.


As the music changes she once again comes bursting through the door however this time, she's dressed in black, looks harder and more dramatic. She turns on the light in the kitchen and this time there is hate mail scattered all over the floor with phrases such as HATE YOU and DIE. Obviously distressed by this the female character looks horrified. As she wanders around the house desperate trying to piece together what's going on, she notices a box at the front door. The box is clearly labeled I GIVE YOU MY HEART, she bends down cautiously before opening, where the camera pans to reveal that there is a real beating heart inside of the box. She instantly drops the box looking horrified as the video ends.
