Another idea for a music video I had was of an old woman looking at a scrap book of memories and photos in her living room. As she flicks through the pages there are objects stuck in the pages along side the photos. The camera then zooms into a photo of her when she was young with her boyfriend; this image then comes to life, like a flash back, and we see a short clip of this memory. They are around 16 and walking in a forest laughing and having fun, he picks up a feather and puts it in her hair. This feather is stuck in the scrap book next to the photo. It then cuts to her turning the page or maybe having an effect where the screen turns the page of the clip like she's visually turning to the next memory. The next photo that comes to life is of their wedding as they come out the church with family and friends throwing confetti at them and them driving away in a 'Just Married' car. The next of them holding their new born baby. These flashbacks could be edited in a vintage style to suggest it was some time ago in the late 30's/early 40's. World War II started in 1939 so the husband was sent to war when he turned 18, leaving her with their new born baby. In the scrap book there are letters he has written to her while at war, these could also become flash backs of her receiving them/him writing them.
I then thought of two different endings; one being that her husband then died in the war and she remembers this time, when she finishes the scrap book she shuts it and closes her eyes, the feather that was stuck in the book falls out onto the floor and floats away, symbolising she has past away.
However I thought this could be too depressing and heavy for a music video and thought of an alternative ending. When she finishes looking at the book she goes to buy some flowers and walks to a grave yard where she places them at a grave stone and stands for a while, the audience might imagine her husband died. However then she turns around to see him walking towards her, they embrace and visit the grave of their old friend together as a twist to the end of the story.
