Amber



The video is going to start without music, for just a few seconds (something like 10-15 seconds). Our first location we're going to be shooting at, is a park near our college called 'Corporation Park'.                                      

The first shot, is going to be a over the shoulder shot, of Darren, our artist, sat on a park bench.
It will then flick to a long shot from the front of the bench, and then to a close up of Darren's face from the side, before flicking back to the over shoulder shot.

In Darren's hand there will be a few photographs (blank of course). Later on in the editing stage, we are going to edit the footage so that the image on the photo, will be some of our footage.

From the over the shoulder shot, we will slowly zoom into the photo, and the music will start, fading in, until the image on the photograph, becomes the main video playing.

The next part of the video, will be all in split screen, and recorded at my boyfriends house/barn converison in Darwen.




Example of what the split screen will look like.



On the left side of the split screen, the scene will show Amber and Darren, as a happy couple, and on the right, playing at the same time, will show them as an unhappy couple (showing the rollercoaster relationship).
In the first verse before we get to the chorus, it will be all split screen, and showing these shots, of them for example:

On the happy side:
- A long shot of them in the kicthen co-operating.
- A medium shot from behind, of them watching a movie together.
- Simple long shot of them hugging, spending time together on the sofa.
- A close up of their hands held tight together.

On the unhappy side:
- A long shot of them on different sides of the kicthen, doing seperate things.
- Again, a medium shot of them behind, but sat apart.
- A long shot of them sat on the sofa, with not very happy/impressed looks on their faces.
- Another close up of their hands, but letting go.

ect.

We also, in the other verse's want to show some live action singing shots of Darren (from the studio).

After the first verse, the chorus will kick in
(And the love kick starts again
Starts again
The Love kick starts again
Starts again)
This part of the song, is the most upbeat, with alot of beats and oppurtunitues to cut shots to the beat (to make the video more visually interesting).
This part of the video, we are going to be filming completly in the green screen room/studio we have at college. We are going to be using split screen again for this bit, but instead of having 2 sides, and a split down the middle vertically, we are going to have 3 different bits, going diagonal.

Example of what the split screen will look like.

During the chorus, we are going to have Darren and Amber, dancing in front of the green screen.
We are going to have them do at like 6 or 7 takes, to ensure there is ALOT of movement and alot of different dance moves.
We are then going to, since we are using the 3 split screens, mix and match them up to the beat, changing them as the beat changes. We are also going to use different bright/flashy colours in the background (on the green screen), again, changing as the beay changes.

The video will end, where the video started, at the bench in the park (sort of like book ends for a video).
The clip at the start, showed Darren on the bench, sort of reminicing over photos from a past relationship. This makes the viewer believe, that maybe him and his girlfriend, have since broken up. But then, the video itself, shows a rollercoaster relationship.
This wills still make the viewer believe that they are still broken up,
but, the chorus of 'And the love kick starts again', and the last scene, answer the question of 'Are they still together', as in the last scene, we are going to shoot at long shot of darren, still sat on the bench looking at the photos, but this time, smiling. Then Amber will come into the shot, sit down next to him, and kiss him on the cheek.

The camera will then slowly pan up very slowly to the sky, and the video will end.
