The video would start off with a shot of an old man on a
rocking chair. The lighting would be quite dim however there would be a stream
of light falling down on him. The camera would then zoom up into a close up of
his face; there could then be an eyeline match of him looking at a photo of him
and his wife on their wedding day. It could then be followed by a shot reverse
shot so we can see his facial expression, which should look upset and lonely.
It would then cut to him walking outside in a suburban area
with a wheelbarrow. He would then look up and there would be an eyeline match
with a half built hut. He could then see memories (see-through holograms) of
him and his wife building the house. He would then walk up to the house and pursue
building it, all the time seeing his wife next to him.
The final cut of him will be him standing outside his
finished hut/house. He could then take a Polaroid picture of it and pick some
flowers and leave it on his wife’s grave. It could end up with a close up of
his face smiling.

This is a screen shot above is of the bon iver fan page, as you can see you are greeted with a birds eye view of fields and clouds. This immediately suggests that they are an organic act. Furthermore, it makes them appear ordinary. Despite this when you here there music it gives them an extra ordinary element to them as Justin Vernon's voice is almost unhuman, giving them an edge.
The song above is 'Towers' by Bon Iver.
