(Opening guitar riff) Protagonist standing in the abandoned pool
with a guitar and mask.
Title sequence pops in with each beat of the riff.
Cut to various shots on each beat covering
different angles of the pool and focusing on the guitarist ‘performing’ the song. Cut me off from the rest of the world Cuts to abandoned greenhouse area
Various shots, close-ups of damaged property,
panning shots across cutting to the beat. It’s my addiction, it turns me on Show hooded character exploring the location, close ups of shattered glass and the protagonist walking across it followed by zooming transitions into each different shot repeatedly on the beat (x4). It’s oh-so quiet At this point another guitar riff starts, close up from the base of the guitar looking up towards the neck showing the protagonist playing it (in sync with the song). Zoom transition into the strings of the guitar, zoom out into a mid-shot of the protagonist. My end of the world Slight 3D effect overlayed onto a mid shot of the protagonist playing the guitar, followed by a cut to a close up of the upper part of the guitar focusing on the neck, the effect becomes more prominent before cutting on the beat to the hoodie person in the abandoned greenhouse, they approach a doorway to a building surrounded by broken glass and plants, on each of the 4 beats rapid cuts of them walking away before the camera tilts to the side and fades to black. Ban all the music, it’s all gone wrong Fade in from black in the darkened studio with the strobe light, close up of protagonist’s face putting on the mask – cutting between frames of the strobe flash to create a glitchy effect. As the guitar starts to play, cut to mid shot of protagonist playing in strobe lit room. This is, this is it THIS IS IT displayed in text between each flash of light to create a strobing text type effect, shots shown close up of neck of guitar to show playing followed by a low angle of the protagonist still in the studio with their back to the camera. They’re tryna take it from me THEYRE TRYNA TAKE IT FROM ME, displayed once again between each flash of light to create a glitch effect, shots focusing on the protagonist body and guitar only, with occasional one frame shots of the mask scene from the beginning of the chorus. Got this, this is it GOT THIS, THIS IS IT displayed in sync with the song in each frame after the flash from the strobe, shot focuses on the base of the guitar angled to the neck to show the protagonists fingers playing the song. I won’t let them take it from me I WONT LET THEM TAKE IT FROM ME displayed in sync, in each frame after the flash. Swap to a mixture of shots of the protagonist playing from a mid-shot perspective and close ups of the mask they are wearing. Play an illegal song Zooming in and out of the protagonists back with the strobe effect, each zoom is a transition to a different shot that then zooms out and back in with a blur added to meld them (repeat 4 times to the beat). Turn it up louder TURN IT UP LOUDER displayed over the video in sync to the song lyrics. Play an illegal song Repeated zooming transition followed by close up of the guitar neck once again accompanied this time by a 3D effect showing the protagonist playing the song. Turn it up louder TURN IT UP LOUDER displayed in text in each frame after the strobe flash followed by a long shot of the protagonist performing an exaggerated guitar playing gesture with the instrument – fade to black (music fade out).
