1) The music video will portray a bullied teenage girl and use the song "Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons. It will tell a linear narrative but also include some abstract and performance elements. 2) The opening scene will use clips to establish the protagonist's backstory and introduce the antagonists through flashbacks to both happy and bullying memories from her past. 3) After this sequence, the girl is seen waking up for the next day where she gets ready for school while lip syncing to the song, adding a performance element.
