Script

Script

Our music video opens with a fade into a shot of the protagonist from behind, showing two paths he can take. The shot then pans around, showing the protagonist's indecision as to which path to take. The song now begins, as he chooses to take the right path, and begins walking, whilst lip syncing. Some shot variety will be used here, with different angles and zooms used. 

Around halfway through the first verse some people will appear in the background, also miming the lyrics

When the first chorus hits the protagonist will trip, and a slow-mo effect will be used to make the trip look more impressive, with lots of different shots of the fall, including close-ups and mid range shots.

After the first chorus the protagonist will brush themselves off and continue walking, but now walking with a slight limp. The verse will continue and the protagonist will keep going as in the first verse. However the people walking behind him will now have problems, one will trip over as the protagonist did and the other will try to help him, they will then be left behind. 

When the second chorus hits the protagonist will be mugged by two hooded people, who will leave him injured in the road. An overhead closeup will be shown of the protagonist.

When the chorus stops, the character will be shown closing his eyes with a closeup and things will start to rewind, showing the mugging, trip and walking backwards, until the character finally reaches the crossroads again, where the original starting shot will be shown again, but this time the protagonist will choose the other path, and we see him walking off at the end of the song.
