Description of visuals Lyrics

 Before the lyrics start there is a long

intro, we will be using lots of
cinematic shots of me in the woods
looking sad. There will be lots of jump
cuts and focus pulls

 The first shot that the audience see is

of Lewis walking out of a building, now that I’m gone, I know that you hear it
away from Emma. There will also be
a shot of him lip-syncing the second
line
 When it says, ‘’I know that you see
me’’ there will be a shot of Emma i know that you’ve seen me
looking out into the woods and oh, oh, oh, oh
there a faded image of Lewis
walking in front of her, so it looks like
she’s imagining it.
 From the fourth line down there will now that I’m gone, I know that you care
be shots of Emma upset and angry. I see how you’re caring now
A mini montage of clips showing oh, oh, oh, oh
Lewis and Emma upset and angry,
throwing things etc.

 For the first line of Verse 1 there will searching for wrong
be a shot of Lewis with his hands in so you can point your stubborn finger at
the air saying the lyrics. Emma looks me again
through his phone ‘’pointing her at me again
stubborn finger at me again’’, she
also pushes him to the floor and is
shouting at him.

 This shot will be of Lewis trying to

comfort Emma but she pushes him
away and hits him. There is then
multiple shots of them fighting. The
last shot will be of Lewis on his own
looking depressed
what has become
see all that I did want, was for you to end
up so perfect
all I see is just another one

 Lewis will be lip-syncing this line and

wondering why they don’t see me
there will be a close up of his face
with a finger over his mouth as the
better off if I don’t tell you baby
line ends.
 This shot is going to be of Lewis
pleading with Emma but she hits him
again. This is the shot where he will
have makeup on which makes it
look like he has a black eye.

 This shot will be a close up of
you’re wearing
Emma’s eyes. Then there’s a
a faulty disguise

pointing at the camera as if it’s
Emma that I’m talking to. Faded

like I’m imagining her)

 For this shot it will be Emma holding
a knife, focus pulls and silhouetting
etc.

What you waiting for?

 It then cuts to a shot of them fighting
and Lewis is saying, ‘’what are you
waiting for’’ I aim to make this scene
long and dramatic for the best, most
realistic emotions. i see the blade in your hand

 Emma attacks Lewis with the knife

runs. It shows him getting his things

Contingency Plan
What are your plans for if something goes wrong? What back up actors,
locations and equipment do you have?

Lewis and I have different back up plans. For example if something goes
wrong and we can’t film at a certain location, whether that’s due to the
weather or other reasons, we have other spots in mind to film at that will also
keep the lo-fi vibe of our production. For example there’s a spot near where I
live that’s an underground storm drain. If the weathers really bad we will go
there as there is shelter but on the other hand if it’s raining it contributes to the
vibe of the song as it’s sad and depression and rain connotes this.

We’re using Lewis as the male actor in our production and I know that he can
do it so we don’t have to find a backup actor there but on the other hand,
we’re using Emma as the female actor and if she can’t do the production for
whatever reason we have a backup actor that would be able to film and
who also has qualifications in performing arts. Her name is Holly Wilson and if
something goes wrong with Emma we know that we have somebody else
that we can use.

The equipment that we’re using is just cameras and tripods, if these fail to
work we can use someone else’s camera or tripod. We plan to be using a lot
of natural lighting but for some scenes we may need artificial light which we
can borrow from the college. If this fails to work then we can use torches, this
won’t look as good but it will work better than natural light for some scenes.
