Video Synopsis

Paramore - We Are Broken

The main story for my music video is about a couple that keep arguing yet work it out in the end. The story line follows the lyrics of the song.
The music video goes through a day with the couple. It starts with the girl at the top of a hill waiting for the sun to rise, she is looking down towards the bottom of the hill to where her and her boyfriend have previously argued, there she sees the scene in front of her. Her boyfriend then comes up behind her and hugs her making her forget about the argument that they had.

The next scene shows them playing in a playground, faded with them alone in the same places, without each other, these scenes are darker showing the lack of joy in them.

This is all based around them standing at the top of the hill together, watching the sunrise.

The second verse is all about the arguments that they have had, featuring one on her doorstep and one in the car, the latter resolves with him grabbing her arm pulling her into a hug. This then goes into a flashback showing when they first met, it’s a typical movie meeting where she is at a bus stop in the rain and he provides her with an umbrella, she misses the bus so he walks her home. The couple are followed down the road, making it seem like they will have a good relationship.
The third verse is slower than the rest of the song, this is the point at which the couple sit down and talk, they then realise that they are both as ‘broken’ as each other, this then leads to the resolution of their relationship.

The ending of the video is focused on them standing on the top of the hill watching the end of the sun rise.
