Artist and song you have chosen:
We are never ever getting back together. By Taylor swift
Plan for music video (narrative/performance etc.):

- her phone rings, and its him. she declines the phone and throws it away.
- quick flashback of them having past arugments on messages.
verse 1:
- flashbacks of the same thing happening over and over again.
- he stroms out angrily and then later shows up apologising with flowers. they laugh and get back together.
- cut back to the present, she looks frustrated, like shes tired of the pattern.
chorus 1:
- split screen editing of both on them in their own rooms doing the same thing, e.g. laying down on the bed looking at the ceiling.
- then flashbacks on them in the same place, laughing and having fun together.
verse 2:
- argument scene shown in the flashback using han d gestures, slamming doors. shake the camera to show an emotional effect.
- then back to present, they are sat apart on opposite sides of the bench in a park.
chorus 2:
- sad ending: one walks away and the other one watches them go while sat on the bench.
end:
- old photo on them on the screen and fades to black or text like "some endings are just new beginnings" and then fades into black screen.
