The video is a pop music cover of "Payphone" by Maroon 5. It tells a love story between students at a school. A girl sees a boy everyday in the library and takes the initiative to befriend him. Their friendship turns to love. However, one day the girl misunderstands and thinks the boy is cheating when she sees him messaging someone else. The video represents the social issues and groups of 18-20 year old college students through depicting their studies and friendships. Editing techniques like black and white and slow motion were used to show meaning and flashbacks. Making the video presented challenges in managing time with actors and studies as well as learning new software.
