Very loose dorothea music video script idea
Set in late autumn or early winter
Someone with a pen and paper, only seeing their hands and desk, on the paper says “Dorothea,” and any text overlay for title
Hey, Dorothea, do you ever stop and think about me?
Fade into kids/young teens (dorothea and speaker)
When we were younger down in the park
Honey, making a lark of the misery
Kids sneaking away from home to go to the park/pond
Laughing, throwing papers in the water (letters, school work, etc.; doesn’t have to be specific)
You got shiny friends since you left town
A tiny screen's the only place I see you now
Pan from young dorothea to present dorothea, no face shown (either neck down or from back) on tv
Wildest dreams mv reference?
And I got nothing but well wishes for ya
Zoom out from tv onto speaker watching through a store window, tossing a penny into a fountain outside
Ooh, this place is the same as it ever was
Speaker walks off sidewalk to the park (from 1st verse), then flipping between lone speaker and them as teens walking through the park, mainly it looking the same
Ooh, but you won't like it that way
Graduated dorothea driving into the sunset from a hotel/motel
It's never too late to come back to my side
The stars in your eyes shined brighter in Tupelo
From dorothea driving away, goes into speaker and her in their graduation robes and hats lying in the park looking up at the stars smiling
And if you're ever tired of being known for who you know
You know that you'll always know me
Dorothea in hollywood, getting away from everyone in the bathroom at a party, checks her phone and sees a post of the speaker and likes it, commenting something basic
Back to speaker trying to write dorothea letters, crumpling them up, starting over, being frustrated
Ooh, you're a queen sellin' dreams, sellin' makeup and magazines
Ooh, from you, I'd buy anything
Same scene, panning up to the desk computer/laptop with a holiday themed vogue/fashion celeb article with dorothea being the subject with a gorgeous magazine cover
Then into the next line, zoom into the picture of dorothea, zoom out with her on the photoshoot looking nice, but not happy
Hey, Dorothea, do you ever stop and think about me?
When it was calmer, skipping the prom just to piss off your mom and her pageant schemes
Back to them as teens running away from the car to the prom to one of their cars, dorothea looking very over the top, laughing, being messy, etc.
And damn, Dorothea, they all wanna be ya
Laughing dies and they do “the look” into each other’s eyes
But are you still the same soul I met under the bleachers? Well
Cut to dorothea reading alone under the bleachers in the early sunset, the speaker wandering to her, she looks up at him, with the same look from the last line (going into the next line)
Ooh, I guess I'll never know
Ooh, and you'll go on with the show
Cut back to the same photoshoot from before but dorothea changing/cleaning up
But it's never too late to come back to my side
The stars in your eyes shined brighter in Tupelo
And if you're ever tired of being known for who you know
You know, you'll always know me
Flipping from speaker looking through photo album of them and dorothea, showing old moments, and dorothea digging out an old picture of the two of them, then they both look at the same picture
Dorothea posts that she’s coming home for the holidays in some fancy ig post where she’s dressed up and posing, the speaker sees
The speaker folds up the letter they’ve been writing, and puts it in the top desk drawer
(for outro) Speaker decides to call Dorothea after seeing the post and fades out to credits
Ooh-woo-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-woo-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
