Song: I Wanna Be Yours

This is an alternative rock song which takes a romantic narrative. 

Since the lyrics are talking about the wanting to become someone's lover, I decided to choose the approach which leaves the choice of perceiving the message entirely on the audience. 

The whole narrative is a girl who is locking herself up in her apartment. Everything she does and everywhere she looks, she imagines she is doing those things with the person she loves - dancing in the kitchen when she looks at the kitchen, drinking coffee together while actually she is drinking alone. 

Scenes of her doing these things alone and doing the same things with the male character would be intertwined, to create these hallucination feels.

At the end of the music video, we get to see the girl comes back to reality when the shot shows her looking at her phone, and there is a photo of the guy with another woman, showing that they are not together whatsoever, and everything that happened was just her own imagination.

There are two possible plots the audience could develop for themselves: 

- The male character is her ex-boyfriend, who now is no longer with her.

- The male character is an unrequited love, and she is just wishing that she is the one who he loves, too.

Even though the point of view that I'm heading towards is the second, I think it would be interesting for the audience to develop other theories, since the narrative won't be too frankly obvious on a specific plot or point of view.
