Scene listing

Here is our initial plan for the order of which our scenes will be constructed in our music video, the bold, italic writing denotes the structure of the song and where it is in relation to:    Scenes

1. Introduction: (0'00" - 0'29" [29]) Chris receives a text from Jess - the girl who appears to be leading him on. Chris is then shown to be getting ready to go out somewhere. This is achieved by shots showing the earphones being put in, going to the bathroom, re-styling his hair, putting on his shoes, etc.
2. Verse 1: (0'30" - 1'12" [42s]) Chris leaves his house, and shots show him still texting Jess. The time of this scene is set at night and is very dark, with only the street lamps acting as adequate lighting for the music video.
3. Verse 1: Chris is waiting at the bus stop, then is shown to get on the bus. Various shots show Chris still texting her, but receives no reply. He gets off the bus and walks into the shop.
4. Verse 1: Chris is in the shop and looks for various items to purchase. However, all of these items are for his evening where he plans to surprise visit Jess at her house. Jess is unaware of his plan to come over, despite the texting that has taken place.
5. Chorus 1.1: (1'13" - 1'34" [21s]) FLASHBACK: Fade into... Chris and Jess are in the park together and Chris makes a move on Jess, Jess walks away from Chris - and decides to leave the food, walks down the alcohol isle and leaves the shop with some goods. 
6. Chorus 1.2: (1'35" - 1'59" [24s]) Chris is in the shop still, "crawlin' back to you" is the first shot and Chris' face seems sad on the reminiscing of the flashback. 
7. Verse 2: (2'00" - 2'42" [42s]) Chris leaves the shop - "...if so I wanna know what time it shuts" is synced with the shot of the opening times of the shop. Chris walks towards Jess' house, and is trying to ring her. "...on the cusp of trying to kiss you" has a flashback again of Chris trying to kiss Jess (for a second or so). Chris still rings and camera pans up to night sky. Fade to black...
8. Chorus 2.1: (2'43" - 3'04" [21s]) FLASHBACK: Chris is with Jess on the sofa, watching television together and they sing the chorus whilst together. "...that the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can't say tomorrow day" Both are on the phone and in the second section of Chorus 2...
9. Chorus 2.2: (3'05" - 3'29" [24s]) "Crawlin' back to you" - Jess throws the phone across the room (slow-motion). Jess is crying in her room, Chris tries to get her back.
10. Chorus 3.1: (3'30" - 3'54" [24s]) Chris walks to Jess' street and knocks on the door. I play the boy who walks out of Jess' house, creating the idea that Jess was in fact with another boy whilst leading Chris on. I walk past Chris walking out of Jess' house and Jess goes to try and get Chris back but he leaves in disappointment. 

Filming Progress

Storyboarding

Me and my working partner, Chris, are ready to start storyboarding now that we have finished all of our planning. 

Sequence List

In this lesson, me and my working partner Chris are planning for the filming stage. In the previous lesson we have written the plot to the narrative, and now we need to write a sequence list of all the initial shot ideas for the music video.

1. The introductory shot is a close up of the boy holding his phone, then putting his headphones in and pressing play on his music with the song 'Do I Wanna Know?' by Arctic Monkeys. 
2. The next shot is a tracking shot of the boy walking out of his house and down the street heading towards the shop. 
3. In the next shot
