Some landscape shots may be used as transitions as he changes location.

Ideas of shots and story of video;
London
Man comes out of work looking slighty tired but not too bad, he has neat hair and looks very professional. He walks on for a bit and steps on a stone. He ignores it and walks on, he steps on the same stone and looks back and the stone he stepped on before has gone, he kicks this one to the side and goes on. Once more he steps on the stone, he picks it up and he is controlled by it in some sort of spirtual way.
As he picks up the stone and puts it into his pocket he throws his breif case away and begins walking out of London.

Later on as he is getting further out of London he will also get rid of his tie (This could possibly be in the suburbs scenes).

Suburbs
The tie is possibly thrown away in this bit, he is getting slightly more tied and his hair begins to get scruffier. His jacket of his suit is also unbuttoned during the motorway scenes, his shirt also untucked.

Village
This could possibly be inbetween the Fields and Forest or intercut between them. The man would look even more tired and walk slightly slower, his overall appearence would be the same however.

Fields
Here is getting even more remote and natural, he begins to fall over with tiredness but gets up soon after his falls and carries on. This results in him getting more and more dirty

Forest
This will be filmed in Thetford forest on 23rd September before we film the beach scene.

Sea
This will be filmed in Great Yarmouth and will be the climax of the video, where the character falls down into the ocean after casting the stone into it.

Relation to Lyrics/song
The idea of the random stone the man comes across is from the lyrics, "another wishing stone to throw".
The idea that the stone won't go away also is influenced from the lyrics;
"You try to protect me
But just let me go
And if you throw it out again
You'll see my reflection come floating back in."
This can be read as the person keeps coming back again but we might portray this as the stone, like it is their soul or them.

More lyrics that tie into the video concept are;
"And I'm walking faster
And losing my breath
But it takes me farther than here."
As the stone portrays the "singer"/persona in the song and the lyrics tell of how it takes me (the stone/soul) farther than here(where they begin in the video); this relates to the journey from the workplace to the sea.

"And I'm walking faster
And losing my breath." Also have relation to the mans tiredness on his journey.

Also the lyrics at the very end are;
"And I'm falling over
And wasting my time
But it takes me farther than here."
Our idea for the end shot is the man falling over into the sea after getting rid of the stone or with the stone in his hand.
