What time you coming down?
With the opening lyrics I hope to show the performance element of our video. Using an extreme wide shot, the band will be playing in the river and singing the lyrics. This will act as our stabilising shot and will last roughly two seconds. This will show viewers who the band are and what there role is.
We started losing light
For this line we hope to use a time lapse. The shot will show the day fading into the night. The video will last an hour and a half but will be cut down to roughly two seconds. For this shot we will be using a GoPro which will be fixed into position taking an extreme wide shot.
I'll never make it right
We imagine that these lyrics will be accompanied by a performance section from the river. Although it may be possible to cut to close ups of James singing this section.
If you don't wonder off
With these lyrics is a drumbeat that is separate from the rhythm of the song. We want to use this drum as a way to jump cut from the performance to wide underwater shots.
I'm so excited for the night
We hope to use extreme close ups with these lyrics.
All we needs my bike and you're enormous house
These lyrics are fast paced and we plan to get one of the band members to cycle in front of a mansion. This will create a graphic match to the song as well as matching our original and concept theme. We plan to distort viewers depth perception by riding the bike very close to the camera in order to make the bike huge and the mansion look small.
You said some day we might
You said some day we might
When I'm Closer to your height
For these lyrics we hope to use depth perception in our shot as James walks towards a girl so to get closer to her height as the song suggests. These lyrics suggest that he is intrigued by a girl who is older than him and he needs to grow up to be with this person.
Till then we'll knock around
What time you coming down?
We started losing light.
I'll never make it right
If you don't want me around,
I'm so excited for the night,
All we need's my bike and your enormous house
You said some day we might
When I'm closer to your height
'Til then we'll knock around, endlessly
You're all I need
Don't you see me now?
I think I'm falling, I'm falling for you,
Don't you need me?
I, I think I'm falling, I'm falling for you,
And on this night and in this light,
I think I'm falling, I'm falling for you
Maybe you'll change your mind
I think I'm falling, I think I'm falling
I'm caught on your coat again
You said, "Oh, no, it's fine,"
I read between the lines
And touched your leg again, again
I'll take you one day at a time,
Soon you will be mine,
Oh but I want you now (I want you now)
When the smoke is in your eyes,
You look so alive,
Do you fancy sitting down with me? Maybe?
You're all I need
According to your heart,
My place is not deliberate,
Feeling of your arms
I don't wanna be your friend,
I wanna kiss your neck
Don't you see me?
I, I think I'm falling, I'm falling for you
Don't you need me?
I, I think I'm falling, I'm falling for you
And on this night and in this light
I think I'm falling, I'm falling for you
Maybe you'll change your mind
