My video storyline

As a group Jess and I decided on the storyline a while ago, when we first heared we were going to produce a music video. Through listening to the song a number of times, and analysing it's original video, i didn't find it too hard to think of a number of possible stroylines that will match the genre of the song, and interest the audience.
The song is named 'Waking Up in Vegas', therefore we decided to do a rather exciting video and make the storyling interesting yet easy to follow, we have decided on two lovers, they continously fight and argue, we discover this over one drunken night at a club. Everything is perfect, they are partying with there friends, however, when her and her boyfriend make a wish on a coin and throw it into the fountain, everything goes downhill...
They become very drunk, and the girls' (Katy) boyfriend proposes to her. However the next day we join the characters in their hangover, the room is a mess, she is engaged, and the storyl slowly reveals itself as flashbacks of the night before start coming back to her.
The video seems humorous to the viewer, making them keen to carry on watching (hopefully!), we have planned the storyline to stick rather close to the lyrics of the song, becoming self explanatory to the audience. The girl realises what has happened, her day resulting in having an argument with her 'boyfriend' for proposing, waking up with a black eye and bad luck after that. We continue to watch her bad luck from then on, however, towards the end we are including a split screen, showing the two lovers doing the same thing, unaware. We are aiming to end the video with a 'cliffhanger', they both bump into each other when they each go to 'go get some cash out'... the storlyine ends with the two looking at each other.
This i feel will be a good way to end the video as the audience will be left unaware as to whether the couple will get back together or not.
