Love Story - Taylor Swift (Music Video)

This is one of her most famous songs with a strong romantic narrative. It tells the tale of a male and female who pursue the course of true love. In the end, they both live happily ever after. What makes this video stand out is that it appears that the protagonists have met in a previous life, possibly the 19th century.

Mise-En-Scene:
School/College Building - audience can relate to it (target audience of students?) Background action of students helps to set the scene.
Female - pretty, books and bag suggests student, modern clothing.
Male - good-looking, student - reading, casual / modern clothing.
Forest = danger, darkness, voyeuristic,. Meeting in secret, forbidden love?
Two Time Zones - Modern / Period (19th Century?) Modern is 'now' and the past is a memory of the protagonists previous life.
Old clothing - long dresses, ruffs around the neck, fans. Candles, large rooms within a castle / large house suggests wealth.

Lyrics that could influence my short film:
"I close my eyes, And the flashback starts" - a protagonist (male or female) could perhaps close their eyes in memory and then the memory could be played also to the audience. Distortion of colour or around the edge of the frame could suggest it is a memory.
"you were throwing pebbles, And my daddy said stay away from Juliet" - the male could be at the girls window but her father has forbidden her to see him and warned him to stay away.
"Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone, I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run" - they could run away together.
"Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone, I keep waiting for you but you never come" - the girl believes that the boy isn't going to come for her, but he does.

Techniques I could use:
In some of the shots, the protagonist(s) looked straight at the camera as if the camera was the protagonist which could be an interesting shot to use which includes the audience directly.
Another technique could be the running in the field scene which is traditionally associated with romance.
