This was our general guidelines for our music video, there was some improvisation while we were shooting but these were the key shots we made sure to include in the video.

The settings needed were A studio with a lot of black for a simple performance background and a household situation for the narrative.

The props needed were alcoholic bottles with liquid inside, a ring, a picture with a boy and girl inside, a replica gun, Smart clothes and a tie and waistcoat for performance and smart clothes which have been roughed up minus with no waistcoat and a different tie for the narrative.
