Since a story is told within the lyrics, it would be difficult to make a cohesive disjunctive music video. A illustrative or amplification style would therefore be better suited. The story takes place entirely within a house which is useful to us as we have access to one to film in. The controlled setting allows us to both control variables which would detract from continuity, such as people in the background, and the lighting would be under more duress than it would be outside.
The referral of the protagonists in the third person creates an air of the unknown, which we could capitalise on through framing the shot in such a way to not reveal an identity or achieve the same effect through cutting panning shots just short in the edit. The song being set at midnight would mean the lighting has to be quite dark. This allows us to be able to highlight certain props within the frame with spotlighting more effectively.
The chorus does not advance the story and so it would be an opportunity for us to introduce a more prominent performance aspect without the audience being left with the feeling they're missing something.
