Lyrics Visuals

Intro On every beat of the intro there

will be close-up shot of
different features on a
characters faces.

Ooh, don't we look good Mid-shot of female actor dancing

together? then transitions into a shot of
a male actor putting his arms
around the female actor

There's a reason why they watch Mid-shot of a pan of people

all night long sitting down in a line with
sunglass on and holding drinks

Yeah, know we'll turn heads Close-up of the side profile of

forever people turning their heads
towards the camera

So tonight I'm going to show you Long shot of two actors dancing
off in front of a blue back ground

When I'm walking' with you Ground point of view of an

actors shoes dancing

I watch the whole room change Birds eye point of view of an

actor relaxing on a sofa, the
rotates in a circle

Baby, that's what you do Close-up of female actors mouth

singing the lyrics

No, my baby, don't play Long-shot of female dancing

Blame it on my confidence Long-shot zooming into a close-

up of two actors leaning on a
wall with sunglass on

Oh, blame it on your Mid-shot of male actor dancing

measurements

Shut that shit down on sight Close-up of female actor singing

That's right the lyrics

We out here drippin' in finesse Mid-shot of people dancing

It don't make no sense Close-up of an actors mouth

singing the lyrics
Out here drippin' in finesse Mid-shot of male actor dancing

You know it, you know it Close-up of actors singing

We out here drippin' in finesse Close-up of actors feet dancing

It don't make no sense Close-up of actress singing

Out here drippin' in finesse lyrics from a side profile

You know it, you know it Close-up of actress singing

lyrics from opposite side
profile

Now slow it down for me baby Mid-shot of two actors dancing

slowed down

'Cause I love the way it feels Long-shot of female actress

when we grind dancing

Yeah, our connection's so High shot looking down on male

magnetic on the floor actor dancing
Nothing can stop us tonight

When I'm walkin' with you Low shot of actors shoes dancing

I watch the whole room change Low-mid shot of female actress

Baby, that's what you do sitting down on a sofa with
multiple props and disco lights
singing the lyrics

No, my baby, don't play Close-Up of female singing

Blame it on my confidence Close-up of female dancing

Oh, blame it on your
measurements
Shut that shit down on sight
That's right

Location Recce

Address - 28 Ancastle Green, Henley-on-Thames

Postcode - RG9 1TR
Closest train station – Henley-on-Thames
Closest bus stop – Deanfield Avenue
Lighting information: Solution:

As this location is inside a studio To avoid there being any

there are pre-fitted lights that I
can use to help me set up the
green screen properly.
However, for some shots I will
need a soft box light to add to
the brightness of the actress
meaning I will have to plug in
my own supply which could
lead to wires on the floor.
Sound information:
hazards for my actors and me I
shall use the power supply from
the ceilings of the studio so that
there aren’t any wires on the
floor for people to trip over.
Solution:

The studio is equipped with its
own speaker that you can
either connect the computer
through or your phone via
Bluetooth. Sometimes this
To make sure that I am not left
without any options I will bring
my back up speaker so that I
am still able to play the song out
loud for my actors.
speaker does not work, and this
piece of equipment is vital for
my music video because my
actors need to lip-sync.
Power information:
The studio itself has many
options for power supply
however some plugs might be
too far away for where I am
shooting in the studio which
can be a problem during the
filming process
Hazards:
One hazards is my soft box
lighting over heating and my
actors accidently getting
burned by it. This could happen
if they are not careful when
they walk or dance around the
equipment.
Solution:
To avoid this interrupting the
process I will make sure to bring
an extension lead so that I can
film freely without having to
worry about my power supply
being too far away.
Solutions:
To avoid this problem, I shall
only use the light when it is
absolutely needed so that way
I can turn it off during the
scenes it’s not needed and let
it cool down.
