Music Video Notes.

These are some notes that I wrote when thinking of a song and a concept: 

Skeeter Davis - The End Of The World:
A couple messing around with each other (preferably on a beach) flirting, doing what a couple do. They travel home all happy, but once they get inside they have a huge argument. The woman storms off crying into the bathroom or something, the man cries and eventually goes to find her. When he does, he finds that she is dead and she has hung herself. It ends with him crying his eyes out that she's dead with a shot of the rope or blood, etc. This is a link to the movie 'Girl Interrupted' as the song is played when a girl in the movie hangs herself in the bathroom.

Nancy Sinatra - Bang Bang:
Continuous filming with as little cuts as possible. When it ends, they stop moving/walking/riding, and it zooms out and shows them as small to show little importance. This is a link to the music video 'What's a Girl To Do?' by Bat 4 Lashes which also has a continuous shot of the main artist on a pedal bike.
Possibly walks to the place she was murdered then ends with her getting down to the place she was killed and lying there as if she was dead. 

She is carrying a toy pistol. This links to the lyrics as it talks about her and her ex-lovers childhood and that he has left her all alone. (For example she could be completely alone in a forest and gives the impression that she may as well be dead for real because she loved him so much). Could also play around with a candy heart or something like that and it breaking to link to the childhood and her heart breaking.
