Initial Ideas

Ellie Goulding - Explosions

Concept 1 -
Narrative Summary:
The concept of the video is that a girl meets a boy and the boy is really shy. They end up together. The longer they are together, the more his confidence builds. He ends up becoming everything she thought he'd never be, cheating on her etc. She confronts him about it, and it finally hits him what he's doen. She kicks him out. When the lyric is 'Now everything you own is falling from the sky in pieces' his things are being thrown out with him. The video then fast forwards in time when the lyric is 'I'll find you another time, I'll love you, another time' and she bumps into him. He has changed, he's not as shy as he used to be but he's not overly confident either. They end up together again because they're ready to try again. She believes it will be different this time.

Concept 2 -
Narrative Summary:
There is a girl who doesn't really have any friends, no one ever gives her a chance, she is depressed. She ends up at a party, sits on a couch and everyone just ignores her and the party goes on around her (fast forward effect). She gets up and goes out onto the balcony and sits on the edge of the balcony. She has given up and she is fantasising about what it would be like to jump. She gets ready to jump when a boy notices her and comes outside to stop her. He brings her back inside and they endup spending all night together, just talking and getting to know each other. She feels like someone finally cares. They become really close and their friendship develops throughout the video. They spend new year together at a party and when it is the second chorus and it says 'explosions..' there are fireworks as they are going into the new year and he kisses her. She has loved him from the start and thinks that that was him showing that he loves her too, but then she sees him kissing someone else. She leaves the party and goes home. He notices she's gone and goes round to her house. She's not there and he is worried that she has gone back to her old ways. He runs to the balcony where they met, as fast as he can. He looks up as he gets to the building and see her there, sitting on the edge of the balcony. He runs upstairs and on the last chorus where the lyric is 'explosions..' that is when he explodes through the door. She is not on the edge of the balcony anymore so he thinks she's jumped and so he breaks down in tears. He turns around and see her in the corner of the balcony, she couldn't jump. He just grabs her and holds her and kisses her and there is a close up on his face and he says 'I love you, don't ever do that to, don't ever leave me'.

Concept 3 -
Narrative Summary:
Boy and girl in a relationship. Girl is a musician. The boy doesn't have a job so she pays for every thing they do. They're out one day and someone from a modelling agency notices him and he ends up becoming a model. He soon becomes quite well known and his fame goes to his head. He used to go to all her gigs and then one day he just stopped. She hardly ever saw him anymore and when she did see him he'd act as though he didn't know her. He always went out with other girls and she put up with it for a while but finally she cracked. She confronted him, kicked him out the house. He broke down in tears, realised what he'd done but it was too late. Although she hated him for what he did, she will always love him and she hopes he can change and that one day they will be able to be together again.
