This document outlines 63 shots for a music video. It begins with establishing nature shots before introducing the princess singing in the woods. She comes upon the prince lounging arrogantly on a throne. They exchange defiant looks and words. The princess grows angry and removes her markings of royalty. When the prince realizes this and runs at her, she throws her crown, punching him in the face when he reaches her. Bleeding, the prince is defeated on the ground while the princess takes his crown and cloak, walking defiantly back to the throne. The video ends with the princess towering over the crushed prince, mouthing taunts at him before the credits roll.
