I have researched some music videos where I can take ideas off for my own. They are shown below and an explanation of what i would use out of it and why:
Suicide
In this video I like the way the director has made the girl end her life. In this song it shows the girl dreaming of what would happen after she died. This could be an idea to put at the end of my story line where she wakes up and shes still alive. Or i could stick to the girl actually dying. It could also tell a full story not linking with the lyrics throughout the song but the chorus is the only part were the singer sings to the song and is imagining herself with the boy.
Memories with pictures
I like the idea that the singer is reminiscing about her ex boyfriend. Although the story lines different within this song i could still use it to my advantage where the singer is looking at all these good times with her boyfriend and looking in the past. I could even use them as the introduction to the abstract memory. With the photo being showed then the girls memory of the day it was took. The boy could also fade out the photo showing he is no longer there anymore. This would be good for my lyric 'even though your not here wont move on'. Then after this lyric the memory could come in.
Abstract Memories
Lots of lana del rey songs show abstract of memories, sometimes not even relating with the song. I could also do this with my music video but do memories of her in 2 lives, this way the audience will be able to emphasise more and see the contrast between when the singer is happy to when she is in misery. This will also make the video conventional too. I can also have parts where the singer is singing along with the song too.
Lyrics link
This video has a narrative slightly like mine where in the sence the boy gets killed. Here they have done shots and scenes where the boy is watching over the girl when he is gone and shows he is still their for her. It also shows the girls reaction to the boys death within the song. For lyrics in my song such as 'your soul is haunting, and telling me that everything is fine' i would choose to recreate certain scenes out of this such as when he is watching her in bed etc.
