My Heart, Your Hands - by Dommin:

The camera zooms in on the house and then zooms into a room as if we are being invited in to watch the scenes that then unfold. And even then the doors open as the camera zooms into the next room, showing the band that have already been playing.

The camera keeps moving from the wide shot of the band, to close ups of either what they are doing, or a close up on their face; this was done to introduce us to the members of the band and it fit with the invitation like behaviour that was shown earlier.

The girl pulls the boy into the room and they look around, before they sit down, and he never takes his eyes off of her; this fits the lyrics very well as he say ‘how can I trust you’ twice.

The girl pulls a scarf from the boy’s chest, which is used to represent the boy’s heart. The girl runs off with his heart, after a little time he follows her. In the next room the boy pulls the dustsheets off the black bodies in search of the girl. The black bodies could represent other people that she has taken the hearts of and left cold. This idea is reinforced when in her next scene as she messes around with the scarf, and she treats it as a trophy.

As he continues looking for her, he is accompanied by some of the black bodies from before. We also see the girl looking around when many black shadows play across the wall, this concerns the girl, which is shown by her facial expression.

The next time that we see the girl, the black bodies are chasing her, but she still messes around with the scarf. The boy causally walks up the stairs after all of the black bodies have gone, but more follow up behind him.

The girl finishes a locked door and by this point she looks frantic that she can’t get past it, so the audience is lead to believe that she will soon be in big trouble. Next the black bodies get hold of the girl, and they take the scarf (heart) back.

Then for the end shot, there is a black body that is wearing the same red choker as the girl was, this makes the audience believe that the black bodies do not represent the people that the girl had left cold, but the girls that haven’t played fair with the boy’s heart.
