Research & Organisation - video ideas

I want my video to resemble the original but I want to take a different slant. Although Sam Smith's video tugs at the heartstrings I want to create something meaningful that the viewer/listener will remember and keep in their hearts and minds. Sam Smith's video depicts a group of 2 other young people and himself and his fun antics around Paris and intertwined are his feelings brought to the surface about his unrequited love for someone.
My video will also be based on the story of unrequited love but I want to do it in a more modern, young person's way. As a younger person who has experienced heartbreak and unrequited love it's simpler for me to delve into my emotions and pick them out to illustrate to the audience.

I will do this by: having the video in more than 1 setting. Sam's is set in Paris, and also cuts to a hotel room, rooftop and Sam Smith performing. I will set it in restaurants and maybe cinemas etc. with glimpses of me performing throughout maybe in my bedroom alone in the darkness.

The costume Sam Smith and his friends wear is modern as they wear everyday clothes while out in Paris and dinner suits whilst out in posh restaurants. I want to keep these the same but have a more homely feel, as if finding comfort in warm pyjamas and blankets and feeling isolated than running around with mates etc. I want the feelings to e portrayed more directly than just being signified via use of clues and hidden facial expressions.

The camera angles: Sam Smith's  video is shot using many camera angles, my favourite of which is the shot of the 3 on the rooftop which pans from the dawn/sunrise in the distance. This creates a sense of "it's a new day, a fresh start" which I would love to create too!
