Gabrielle Aplin is an English singer-songwriter from Bath, Somerset. She performs indie folk/pop music and gained recognition after posting covers on YouTube. The proposed music video would use Aplin's song "Home" but change the lyrics so that "home" represents a person rather than a place. The narrative would focus on the relationship between a boy and a girl, with most screen time given to the girl singing and playing guitar. Close-ups and split screens would be used to tell both sides of the story without any male gaze. The target audience is 15-25 year olds who enjoy indie folk/pop music and independent artists.
