Cinematography

• Lots of different camera angles and shots keep it interesting
• Camera can be seen in glasses at start

Editing

• Matched up lip synching well but need more (this is not our fault as we didn't get much)
• Good effects- some don't really fit though

Mise-en-scene

• Good costumes (hats, glasses etc), goes with genre
• Good locations, could have more though
• Josh B needs a shave
  

Genre Conventions

• No narrative, bit random
• Some shots not relevant to lyrics, no car either

What's Missing?

• More lip synching
• More thoughts that link to lyrics
• Rest of video (not our fault as there was no tape in the camera when we went to film at CVC)
  

Rough Cut

Never has a rough cut been rougher :)

Lyrics

This is a little limerick
Of something that don’t exist
Called love and the passion
They’re coming together with action
I’m never hesitating with my words or my thoughts
I go on
Blasting through these doors
Just to show them what I got
I, got my hand motion into the sky
You got your, hands grabbing onto another lie
Now take it easy baby
You never forget where you’re from
Swallow your pride
Cuz everyone thinks they is number one
Some, people can love
Some people can only hate
Some people are deviant in the back of the face
It would take all the strength
Of an army loaded with guns
And all that it takes
Is an army of one

Now what you’re telling me is this
Let me get it correct
Cuz Ima step up in this motherfucker
Dripping with sweat
I know a glimpse is better
Than never seeing at all
At least I know what to expect when all the leaves start to fall

(Chorus)
She kept on walking and she never ever looked back
And you do know everybody in town knew that
She gunna take off, going to be a star
When there’s nothing left she gunna jump out of your car

This is the motion of the ocean
And it’s overflowing
This is the motion of the ocean
And it’s overflowing
I gotta keep it up
Keep on going
Don’t stop exposing myself
Out to the public
Got to make em love it
Gotta, make em hurdle over people to see
Me and my shiny gold hair
And my shiny white teeth
Eventually enchanted with their newly crowned king
They follow me with pictures of myself
They just ripped out the magazine
No time for autographs
I got places to be
Gotta race around the world
Until there’s nothing to see
Like a helicopter
Spinning rotors floating in the sky
Your free girl
Go on and go on and give it a try.

I see your asking what I got with a pocket full of holes
And we’re the exact opposite
But we keep blowing smoke
So now tell me why you insist
On wasting my fucking time
Keep on searching round here for something you aint gunna find
So lets take a step back
Remove our mask and ask
Is this the way we’re gunna live
Keep on stepping over cracks
I know you try so hard to be what you want to be
But it aint that
So Ima say c’mon baby, go on a lay back.

(Chorus)
She kept on walking and she never ever looked back
And you do know everybody in town knew that
She gunna take off, going to be a star
When there’s nothing left she gunna jump out of your car

Song Choices

1. jump out of your car - Iglu and Hartley

This is our number 1 choice. We think the tune is great but the voices ruin it. A waste of what could have been a potentially great song. Things we could include in our video are a bit of live performance on a stage, with whole group "playing" instruments, hopefully a guitar keyboard which would be sick. Other props we would need are a car, instruments, different costumes (Suits, tracksuits etc.) and extras to be in the autograph hunting part and a girl to be in the car and walk out. Both Josh's will perform the singing parts- lip synching.

2. More than life- Whitley

This is our 2nd choice. The idea we had is the singer in different locations on his own, such as on a park bench, graveyard etc. We would use a forest aswell when the song mentions falling leaves- this is a good time to film it as it is autumn.

3. Way back into love- Hayley Bennett

This is our 3rd choice song. The idea for the video was to have 2 people doing a duet lip syncing but no close-ups, as we have no females in the group.
