A (not so) brief summary of what will be seen in my music video.
Opening with extreme long shot of Subject by river, watching it run. Cut to close up of her face, which is concealed by a mask - she's contemplative, looking down beyond the camera.
Cut to close up shot of a paper boat, held carefully within her hands.
Cut back to medium long shot of subject, looking down at river.
Fade to black.
Moment of silence/blackness.
*****
Verse 1
[In the 'Projection Room']
The song begins and we see multiple extreme close ups of different parts of the Subject against a plain background appear in time with the repeated line "Like a river". We see each body part lit briefly before the light cuts out, leaving blackness, and the next shot is introduced and so on.
On the line "Shut your mouth and run me like a river" we see the subject in a close-up with shallow field depth, standing still, looking defiantly into the camera.
[Scene change to Subject's bedroom]
With the line "How do you fall in love?" we see footage of the Subject moving about in her bedroom, getting ready to go out. As the verse progresses, we see her come to a stop, and look off-camera to the distance, connoting her as contemplative. She inhales deeply and there's a blurry/haze effect placed over the footage (to suggest a breach in reality.)
*****
Chorus (takes place within the 'Projection Room' (which is symbolic of the Subject's inner mind, the projections being her memories). Cut with the GoPro footage as appropriate.)
Subject in 'Projection Room'; staring at camera, dancing/spinning, watching projections, looking at something off-camera in the distance etc. (Refer to shot list for more details)
Go-pro Footage; street signs from a car window, riding bikes, climbing trees, walking a dog, jumping into water, trampoline, bonfire, mosh pit at a concert, running for a train, building a fort, reading a book, playing a record, eating pizza with a group of friends, fairy lights and candles, drawing, baking etc. (Refer to shot list for more details)
*****
Verse 2
GoPro footage from Subject's point of view; she's riding in a car with a driver, who's then connoted to be her partner as a shot of them holding hands is revealed. Sequence consists of subject looking about, and ends with her staring ahead down the road.
*****
Chorus (same idea as the first)
*****
Vocal Interlude
Subject and her partner exit the car and enter a building (where a concert is taking place).
After entering the venue we see a cut to iPhone footage of a mosh pit at a concert.
*****
Chorus (same idea as the first two, but now also cut with footage of the mosh pit)
*****
Ending
The song ends and it cuts to medium long shot of the Subject by the river. Subject is still watching the water, but then she sighs, and floats the paper boat into the water.
We see a shot of the paper boat floating away.
Medium close up of Subject watching for a moment.
Back to starting shot position, extreme long shot of subject walking away (fade out of focus, to blackness.)
