Initial ideas for my video

0:0 to o:6 - coins falling from slot machine in conjunction with the coin sound at the start of the song.
As beat drops, shot of one single coin fades into face of main character in shock.
camera pans around her head to an over the shoulder shot of her room completely messed up - props involve, bottles, clothes, random objects.
Flash/fade out - indicates flash back
"we need a taxi" - main character trying to get a taxi.
"you're hungover and im broke" - girl gives up and drops bag on the floor in time with the beat.
she sits down rustling through her bag to see that she cant find her keys or i.d. - she stands up panicking.
"spare me your freaking dirty looks" - someone bashes into her and gives her a dirty look- close up shot of the dirty look to get across emotion.
She rushes back to the club to find her stuff and as the song goes into the chorus shes now on the dance floor dancing with loads of strangers.
Back to verse. "why are these lights so bright?" point of view shot, audience is looking through her hands trying to block the light, at this point she notices the ring on her finger.
She gets out of bed dazed and trips over someone lying on her floor dressed as Elvis to coincide with the line "dressed up like Elvis".
She turns and says the lines "why am i wearing your class ring?" to her boyfriend.
A closeup shot of her hand the morning after runs into a close up shot of her hand the night before, taking us back to another flash back. This time she is happy with being married, it portrays the effect of Vegas, and how shes drunk and having a good time.
The characters are in a phone box for "dont call your mother" and they engage in a kiss as the beat drops.
The location changes to picadilly cirus where there are big, bright lights in the background. A stranger takes a picture of the group, they're happy, drunk, dancing around. "dont be a baby", the main character is trying to convince her boyfriend to get in the fountain, he doesnt, they throw the coin in the fountain instead. (make a wish).
Coin lands in the water when the beat drops for "you got me into this". music stops, coin drops into water with the original sound, music continues. This stop in the music indicates a change has occured. Audience havnt yet realised the significance of this. The characters luck then goes bad.
A number of different shots show bad things happening to them. A character walks into a lamp post, someone trips over and gets heel stuck in drain etc.
"get some cash out", they try but an over the shoulder shot shows theres no cash in the account.
"remember what you told me, told me, told me" main character looks into boyfriends eyes, close up of his face. shes singing the words to him. As the chorus comes in he throws her hand of his face and they both walk away seperately.
Camera is focused on wall, and boyfriend walks into shot, similar shots of them show theyre both feeling down. Theyre acting in sync, both slide down wall, punch air. This shows their connection to the audience. The video finishes with the picture they took near the fountain, or them bumping into eachother by accident.
