pre production

"Time"
(feat. Delilah)

KEY:

Performance shots

Close up

Long shot

Prop shot

Quick paced

 

If you can find the time 
To give your love to me - Quite personal lines with personal pronouns "me" and "you" 
I will wait for you - So possibly use performance or close up shots to introduce the artist
If that's all you need
(Time, Time) - Quick cut shots of clocks to link to time and contrast again slow pace previously
If you can find the time
(Time, Time) - Again quick shots of clocks, repeat for all of repetition of time, time
If ever you're free
Just drop me a line
And tell me where you'll be
I'll be right here
If you can find the time - Use chunks of performance shots that are wide to contrast with close ups
Just be sincere.
If you can find the time - Lines where the artist seems to be questioning use close up shot
I'll wait for you. - This will be a wide shot of the artist in accordance with the bright light
But if you can't find the time - Here we are going to show just a shot of a bright light (cinema)
(Time, Time, Time)
Then cut me loose.- Now we are going to introduce the narrative, the shot is going to be of a remote being switched onand the artist staring at the bright screen, where the narrative begins

------------------------------------------------------------------

In the first section of the song we are going to introduce the artist visually and show performance and close up shots. The artist will be casually sat and at this point there will be no narrative introduced, this is so the artist and subtly stress that they are more about the music and introducing themselves than throwing a large budget video out. The slow part of the song at the beginning allows the artist to be personal, we have decided to cut the song up and at the end re-introduce this slow section to finish the song, we think this will fit with our narrative better. 

Here the song gets faster and the tempo speeds up massively, this is where we are going to begin the "film" on the cinema screen (bright light) prompted by the pressing of the remote. There are going to be fast paced cuts of footage of memories with a boy, the artist will be the main character along with a boy. It is going to be obvious from fairly intimate shots that this is a romantic relationship. We are going to have cuts back to the artist showing her smiling which makes it seem like pleasant memories. We are going to continue to use shots of the clock all though not fitting in with the memories it links to the lyrics and title being "Time", we are going to use a few performance shots but not many to keep the focus on the narrative. 

It is quite difficult to plan the shots for the fast paced part as we are gonig to get loads of footage but then stucture the order in the editing process.

'Cause I don't have the time 
And I don't have the patience
What do you take me for
Why must I wait
'Cause while you decide
I'm fucking suffocating
'Cause if you can't find the time
My bleeding heart won't make it [x2]

If you can find the time 
To give your love to me
Just drop me a line
And tell me where you'll be
I'll be right here
If you can find the time
Just be sincere

'Cause I don't have the time 
And I don't have the patience
What do you take me for
Why must I wait
'Cause while you decide
I'm fucking suffocating
'Cause if you can't find the time,
My bleeding heart won't make it [x3]

I'll be right here 
If you can find the time
Just be sincere
If you can find the time
I'll, I'll wait for you
But if you can't find the time
Then cut me loose.

'Cause I don't have the time 
And I don't have the patience
What do you take me for
Why must I wait
'Cause while you decide
I'm fucking suffocating
'Cause if you can't find the time
My bleeding heart won't make it [x1] - previously repeated 3 times but we are going to repeat once and then re-introduce the slow first verse.

KEY:

Close up of boy

If you can find the time
To give your love to me
I will wait for you
If that's all you need
(Time, Time)
If you can find the time
(Time, Time)
If ever you're free
Just drop me a line
And tell me where you'll be
I'll be right here
If you can find the time
Just be sincere.
If you can find the time
I'll wait for you.
But if you can't find the time
(Time, Time, Time)
Then cut me loose.
