Above is the storyboard for the music video I will create for the song "Poet" by Bastille. The storyline is that the protagonist, Sarah, walking aimlessly through her village, is listening to her iPod and is completely unaware of the world around her. As she begins to walk through her village she notices that there are pieces of paper stuck up with black tape on buildings and lampposts, and obviously she starts to get a little worried.
She then decides that the pieces of paper she is finding with her name and various song lyrics on are clues, and she follows them to the woods where she finds a tree decorated with multiple slips of paper and string:
The tree used in the video is a symbol of the "stalker character", which happens to be Dan, and his ever growing love for Sarah. It also reirforces the idea that Sarah will "live forever" through Dan's love as trees are on the earth for longer than the average human. Another interpretation that the viewer may collect from the use of the tree is that the roots of the tree are the roots of Dan's love for Sarah, which shall forever be there and will not change despite the changing weather (which can be a metaphor for the hardships we face through life).
