Script
I am not finished my script yet as I am working on it as I complete my storyboard. I have posted the script on Prezi.com to present it well however I am also completing a standard written copy of the script that I can print off and hand to my actors.
The concept for the video is a
love/hate relationship. The video aims to show the good sides and the bad sides
of the relationship. The video will follow the couple through various
situations such as arguing at home, being loved up in public.
The video is not chronological and
cuts between different times constantly.
(Before the music begins. Possibly the sound of the wind blowing in
a field) the opening shot is of the couple standing in a field. An extreme long shot is used to capture the scene. Callum is stood in the foreground with his back to the camera. He is dressed in black jeans and a grey hoodie with the hood up. I have chosen this as the outfit links to Marc Atlanta's young and casual brand identity and also as black has negative connotations of evil and power. Grey is associated with emptiness and lack of emotion. The audience is instantly aware that the character has a dark side. In the background positioned to the left of Callum is Charlotte. She covers her face with her hands, tilts her head back, elbows to the sky. She is angry.
The second shot before the music begins is a over the shoulder shot of Charlotte. The camera is positioned behind her as she faces the setting sun. Her figure is shadowed as the focus is on the light provided by the sun behind her. She is stood arms crossed and the lifts up hands and covers her face slowly as if she is stressed.
The next shot is a close up version of this shot. However is is still being shot from behind and slightly to the right of Charlotte. She then removes her hands from her face and stares ahead.
It then cuts to Callum who is stood the right of Charlotte. With a close up over his left shoulder it captures him slowly turning his head to look contently at her as the sun sets around them.
The next shot is a performance clip. Charlotte is stood in front of a blue background which connotes loyalty and trust which signifies to the audience that she is faithful in the relationship. The lyrics open with 'High dive into frozen waves where...' Charlotte looks up from the ground looking emotional and lip sings to the track.
Then, a tracking shot moves backward along an old bumpy road. This represents their relationship as it shows their long term relationship and their journey through the ups and downs as a couple. It then cuts to further down the road where Charlotte is walking carelessly and moody. (inspired by a scene in the music video for Ella Henderson's song Ghost and the tracking of the car in the original video for clarity)
The camera then cuts back to the opening scene and shows a close up of Charlotte running both hands through her hair.
After that a low angle shot will capture Callum looking at Charlotte angrily. This signifies to the audience that he has the power as a low angle looks up at the character and gives them authority. It also shows the negative side of the character.
The next scene shows the couple looking lovingly at each other stood inches apart. The room is dark and there are people moving around in the background but the couple do not acknowledge them. The camera pans slowly around them anticlockwise. The pair lift up their arms, holding hands and look and their interlocked hands. It then cuts to a close up of their interlocked hands when they were stood on the bridge with the sun shining onto them.
The following shots are two big close ups focusing on firstly Callum's nose and eyes and followed by a big close up of Charlotte's nose and eyes. Callums character looks angry and distressed. Charlotte looks up from the ground and looks directly down the camera with sad eyes.
A long shot captures the couple stood holding hands at a bus stop in the dark they do not talk. This shot allows the young audience to relate to the couple.
The next scene is set in the couples bedroom. Charlotte is stood on the left of the shot and Callum is stood facing her on the right. Their is tension between them and they look at each other with hate in their eyes.
