The video will be in black and white, as it is a slow song and it will help portray the emotions within the song.
The video will start with an argument between Ellie and Erik. This will be a long shot so that you can see their body language. Towards the end of the argument, the music will start, and the first verse will not be mimed. There will be a close up of Ellie starting to cry, this will connect the lyrics and visuals as she will cry on 'Its a good thing tears never show in the pouring rain.' The couple will still be arguing and Erik will walk towards the door with Ellie running after him. This will be shot as a long shot and a pan. Erik will open the door and walk away. This shot will be filmed from the outside of the house in a long shot. 'Just the sweet pain of watching your back as you walk,' will be a close up of Ellie standing in the doorway. This close up will fit the record label's needs as it will show who she is and make her recognisable if people don't know who she is. The next shot will be a POV shot, panning across seeing Erik walk down the street and away from her, on the lyrics, 'As I'm watching you walk away.' There will then be another close up of Ellie. As she closes the door there will be a fade in the corner, of the argument that they just had and Erik will be shouting at her. This will tie in with the lyrics 'And now your gone its like an echo in my head, and I remember every word you said.' On this last section of lyrics, Ellie will have walked into the dining room and have sat down.
Erik will be walking down the street in the next shot miming along to, 'Its a cruel thing you'll never know all the ways I tried. Its a hard thing faking a smile when I feel like I'm falling apart inside.' This will be a close up to suit his record label's needs, as in the UK Erik Hassle, at the moment, isn't very well known. The next shot will be a long shot of Erik walking down the street with cars going past him. He will be walking in slow motion, and there will be a clip of the couple arguing with Ellie shouting at him on the lyrics, 'And now your gone its like an echo in my head and I remember every word you said.'
We will then go back to Ellie who is sitting at the dining room table, this shot will be a close up of her profile. Running her hands through her hair she will sing, 'And you never were and you never will be mine, no you never were and you never will be mine.'
Erik will still be walking down the street and with the lyrics 'For the first time,' there will be a close up of him. And with the lyrics 'There is no mercy in your eyes,' until, 'You're walking away, away,' There will be a shot of Ellie going into the kitchen making a drink.
There will then be a split screen of Erik and Ellie, filmed in a close up, They will both be singing 'And I am helpless sometimes wishing's just no good, cause you don't see me like I wish you would.' This split screen will then zoom out into a mid shot of Erik and Ellie.
Erik will have found a bench to sit on and will get his phone out. The split screen will then go and there will be an over the shoulder shot of Erik on his phone. His wallpaper will be him and Ellie together. There will then be a close up of Erik looking upset.
Ellie will then see a photo of her and Erik together and take it back to the dining room table where she was before. There will be various different shots of her looking at the photo of them together. On the lyrics 'But you never were and you never will be mine, no you never were and you never will be mine.' Ellie will put the photo face down on the table and walk away from it.
The next main shot will be of Erik on the bench but Ellie will be in one of the corners singing along. Ellie will be a slight fade but clear enough so that you can see her. 'But you never were and you never will be mine,' the final lyrics of the song will see Erik walk away from the bench and Ellie putting her head down, to show that she is upset.
