Narrative ideas

We are currently toying with the idea of introducing a narrative into the song so we can extend our footage and have a better flow to the music video.
We have viewed our feedback from the rough-cut that we showed to the class, and have introduced a narrative for the music video. We have decided to introduce the idea that the woman (Lucy), who we showed briefly in the rough cut should play
a much more prominent role in the video. We decided to write in the idea that Lucy and Glenn are a couple who at the beginning of the video are seemingly very happy with each other. However, we plan to put in parts of Lucy in the white dress in the woods, as we did in the rough cut, at the start of the video as this can hints that there will be a twist in the video, due to the imagery of the rose and the ribbons. Hopefully this will keep the audience interested.
We then go on to use memories, with a picture being taken to show the happy couple. At a later point in the video, we will see Glenn hanging up photos of him and Lucy, then ripping them down. Between the ripping down of the photos, and when they were originally put up, we will show Glenn and Lucy arguing. To finish the video, we plan to have Glenn attempting to give Lucy roses, but she rejects his last attempt at wining her back. Lucy will then pick up one of the roses, and this links in to the woods scene with Lucy in the white dress. However, this is aimed to be a cliffhanger as we want the audience to be asking what happened to her, and hopefully if another video was made, they would watch it to see if the questions were answered.
