Whilst listening to the song, the first ideas that came to mine included quick close-ups of gin or smashing the bottle in slow action to fit in with the "meet my lover gin" which is quite a conventional way to express the rock stereotypes, which would be rebellious which stereotypically include fighting, drinking and drug use. Also, the beginning starts with drum symbols being hit, which they have made very clear and obvious, therefore I think it would be a good idea to have the beginning of my song shot in time with the drumbeat in the song, although this wouldn't be consistent throughout, it would be mainly just to give the video the performance narrative and "rock" feel and would probably only be a few seconds.
The line "Since you hate everything I feel", gave me an idea to repeat a scene evertime that it comes up, which would be my artist singing into the mirror, as I thought it might be a certain image a lot of girls are familiar with and may be able to relate to.
Another initial idea that I got was for the line "you can take everything I've got", which could either involve a long shot of my "artist" taking off her shoes and throwing them at a boy walking away. Although, I know this is more conventional for a Pop/RnB video but keeping mise-en-scene in mind and cinematography I think it could work and fit in quite well. Another shot that could work with this line would be my artist smashing a guitar against a wall in slow motion infront of the boy (who she would be singing about) or something along those lines, as I think the song expresses getting her emotions and bad temper out of her system (although, not realistically breaking the guitar).
Also, as my artist is an independant artist which is clear through her music, self image is quite an important factor, therefore I know that my artist (actress), will be seen a lot throughout my video.
