INTERIOR. THE STUDY - DAY
A long shot reveals a girl sitting, facing away from the camera, preoccupied. We see her drawing on some paper and see what she is drawing. She finishes her drawing, only to hear her phone ring and have a new message. Upon picking up the phone and reading the message the girl seems distressed through her facial expression. The girl drops her phone onto the desk and rushes out of the room.
INTERIOR. THE HALLWAY - DAY
A medium long shot reveals the girl walking down the stairs at a mild pace, with a sad expression on her face.
INTERIOR. THE KITCHEN - DAY
A medium long shot shows the girl hurrying to the bathroom, nearly in tears. She closes the door behind her quickly.
INTERIOR. THE STUDY - DAY
A shot of the girls phone is seen, while slowly zooming in on the message. The message reads; "Georgina, I'm really sorry but it's not working out. I'm breaking up with you. Sorry to do it like this. Please don't call or text me again", which is followed by a shot of her drawing, slowly zooming in on the characters.
INTERIOR. THE BATHROOM - DAY
A long shot shows the girl, sitting on the closed lid toilet, crying. The shot zooms in on her slowly to emphasize her sadness and distress.
INTERIOR. THE STUDY - DAY
The shot cuts back to the study, showing that characters she has drawn, giving them emphasis.
INTERIOR. THE BATHROOM - DAY
A medium shot shows the girl wiping her tears with tissues. She drops them onto the floor and her facial expression shows she is in deep thought.
INTERIOR. THE HALLWAY - DAY
A shot reveals the study, with its door open, where the girl's drawing were.
INTERIOR. THE STUDY - DAY
A shot reveals the desk, then in a medium shot, the female character the girl had drawn, which now comes to life, showing a sad emotion and one of wonder at why the girl was so sad. The animated girl looks over at the phone on the desk, and runs along the paper to get a better look at what is on the phone. The animated boy follows the animated girl soon after, and the animated girl reads the message on the phone, understanding why the girl is so upset. The animated girl looks back at the animated boy with sadness and he understands even though the animated girl has said nothing, by the sad expression he gives.
INTERIOR. THE KITCHEN - DAY
The bathroom door opens, and a close up of the girl's feet, tilting to see her face, shows she is holding a box of tissues and is about to leave the bathroom.
INTERIOR. THE STUDY - DAY
A medium long shot shows the drawings, both sitting, looking depressed by the news the girl has received.
INTERIOR. THE KITCHEN - DAY
A mid close up of the girl shows the back of her head, as she rests her head on her hand, where her arm is resting on her elbow, which is on the table. In front of her is the box of tissues she carried out of the bathroom.
INTERIOR. THE STUDY - DAY
A mid close up of the animated girl shows her still looking depressed, but at that moment, a reafction shot, as her facial expression changes to that of inspiration as she gets an idea. The animated girl looks at the pencil then smiles, at that moment the animated boy notices her readying herself to jump, and as she does she latches onto the pencil lying on the desk, dragging it closer. The animated girl successfully pulls the pencil close enough to hold and the animated boy and girl both share a smile. The the pencil goed from lying flat on the desk to upright, moving around, seemingly being used to draw, although we cannot see what is actually being drawn.
INTERIOR. THE EXTENSION - DAY
A medium shot reveals the girl sitting on a chair with her arms wrapped around her legs. She gets up and walks forward, looks over at a picture, showing her and a boy; the same boy who broke up with her. She looks saddened, and walks up the stairs.
INTERIOR. THE STUDY - DAY
A shot shows the pencil rolling away from the paper. The animated boy and animated girl look at a stack of bricks.
INTERIOR. THE LOUNGE - DAY
A long shot reveals the girl watching the television in the dark, and a close up shows she is still depressed.
INTERIOR. THE STUDY - DAY
A long shot sows the animated boy and animated girl working together. They pass bricks, the animated boy lays down cement with a trowel, the animated girl slams a pole into bricks to hold up bricks at another height, and the animated boy waters buds that almost instantly grow into flowers.
EXTERIOR. THE GARDEN - EVENING
An establishing shot shows the sun going down and that now the events that will follow are taking place at night.
INTERIOR. THE LOUNGE - NIGHT
A long shot shows the girl sitting on th floor, in the dark, with her arms wrapped round her legs, and the log burner next to her alight. She checks her watch then proceeds to get up and walk towards the door out of the lounge.

A medium shot shows the girl looking at the doorknob to the study. She grabs hold of it and turns it.
INTERIOR. THE STUDY - NIGHT
A long shot shows the study door opening and the girl walk in. She sits at her desk, and we see by her facial expression she has noticed something. She picks up her original drawing and we see a smile on her face for the first time since the beginning of the video. We see the original drawing, which has now changed, and had on it the animated boy and animated girl smiling, holding hands, next to many flowers and a supportive message made of drawn brick, saying; "WE LOVE YOU". Then, the music video ends by slowly fading to black.

I hope you all enjoy my script for my music video :)
It can really help to picture my music video if it is read it whilst looking at my storyboards :)
I based my script off of the same script format used on the "Ghostbusters II" script, which you can see below. I would also like to express I do not own, nor do I claim to own anything associated with "Ghostbusters II". Also I am not using the script commericially in any way and the only reason I posted a page from it here is for educational purposes. I am simply saying this in case there are any copyright issues to do with putting a page of the script here.
