This music video angle focuses of an ordinary guy who thinks this world is too much fighting and violence around people. At the first,

We make any music video must have Key elements of music video, there must be some important elements inside the video. There are Lyrics: suggests general mood or feeling or sense of subject matter. Key lines play a part in the visuals but music video, rarely, illustrates the lyrics as a whole. Music: gives the tempo that drives the editing or editing may emphasize particular sounds from track, i.e., guitar, keyboard or drums. Genre: following the mise-en-scene, themes, performance, camera and editing styles of present music videos, i.e., live performance on rock videos. Camerawork: mise-en-shot is crucial to establish the sense of space and feeling. Camera works to follow artists or talents. CU and lighting are crucial for music video (due to its advertising quality) Editing: most common editing is fast-cut montage. Others use slow-paced editing to establish mood, usually for solo artists with a broad audience appeal (e.g. Dido & Celine Dion). Digital effects are also common, i.e., split screens, colorisation and CGI. Intertextuality : drawing references from other texts sparks audiences recognition to encourage greater pleasure and flatter. Cinema, fashion & art are key reference points. Video games are fast becoming references. Narrative and performance

Narrative in songs are often fragmented, thus storylines or linear complex fragments are usually found in music promos, giving audiences the desire to watch the videos again. Therefore, I will make all these important elements inside my music video.

I plan to shot some people fighting in their life, a couple or two teenagers, they don't respect each other, they fight because a bagatelle, beside this, there will be a real war frame in this video, shows cruel battlefield and people kill each other during the war. Secondly, I plan to make some frame on children, because only child has clear mind in this complicated world. I will make a paper plane to connect this whole video, through the flying way of the paper plane, there will be some peaceful visual in this video. Some like they play swing, they play paper plane. It represents a peaceful world in this video. Through these two main elements, it tells people how we need a peaceful area. I hope that through this music video, people all across the world will listen and digest the words so that all of the human being in this planet will stop pretending and immediately make a stand and shower to all mankind with undivided love, care and forgiveness. Thus, with these messages in this song, all of us will make the effort to heal the world and make this planet a wonderful place to live in.
