James Blunt:Goodbye My Lover

Shot Ideas

Protagonist alone, sitting in the park Protagonist alone,

thinking about his life.

Lyric Representation

Man & woman together, man looking desperate, woman looking miserable, man walks away, 0:50 in fade to memories of the two being happy and “lovey dovey” for example walking together, sharing a drink & smiling. 1:10 screen goes bright and goes back to real time, over the shoulder shot, see the woman in the background watching man walk away, sitting on the waterside looking at photos, suggested suicide.

Clothing

Ragged old looking clothing which show signs of fatigue. Girl dressed in smart clothes to begin with and as the video progresses we see her start to decline, dressing a lot scruffier. Flashbacks have both of them looking smart, clean and tidy. Shots of the girl with another guy looking happy to begin with and then a later shot of her with this guy again yet her appearance has fallen she looks scruffy, she misses the other man.

Girl in ragged clothing Man in ragged clothing

Characters walking to the bedroom “suggestive”

Location/Props

Possibility of using 12 Quays , Hamilton square for the suggested suicide attempt nearing the end of the video. We will be filming in a park for some scenes to portray loneliness of the protagonist and also possibly Joe's house for the cheating scenes which we will make suggestive rather than filming to keep the viewers guessing. Props we may use are an empty vodka bottle determining his life is over and a photo album looking back on his life.
