Music Video Shot Script



Video






Audio
1.) Beginning of the music video will start off with the group of boys complaining about how bored they are – frequent over the shoulder shots and close-ups to create a sense of realism throughout – makes the audience feel immersed. All actors will be dressed in casual teenager clothes. The boys decide to go shopping and the music eventually starts when the car drives off.






Narration


0:00 – 0:20


No music






2.) Music starts and shots are primarily low angle shots to show the object in which they find. The use of frequent low angle shots are used in order to portray a perspective from the object’s point of view, rather than the characters’. This is the catalytic part of the music video since this is when and where the group of boys become older.






0:20 – 1:00



Alright
Ooh, yeah
I'll admit, I was wrong, what else can I say, girl?
Can't you blame my head and not my heart?
I was drunk, I was gone, that don't make it right, but
I promise there were no feelings involved, mmh
She said, "Boy, tell me honestly
Was it real or just for show?", yeah
She said, "Save your apologies
Baby, I just gotta know"
How long has this been goin' on?
You been creepin' 'round on me
While you callin' me "baby"
How long has this been goin' on?
You been actin' so shady (shady)


No narration


Music starts
3.) Lots of quick, fast-paced close-up shots, high and low angle shots during the party montage. The group go back to the house and party – Darker room but enough lighting to still make the video engaging and understandable. By using fast-paced shots, this creates a sense of excitement and energy towards the audience.








1:00 – 1:40/1:145


No narration


Music



I've been feelin' it lately, baby
Ooo-oh (yeah)
Ooo-oh (encore)
Oooh-ooh-oh
I'll admit (I'll admit), it's my fault (my fault), but you gotta believe me
When I say it only happened once, mmh
I tried (I tried), and I tried (I tried), but you'll never see that
You're the only I wanna love, oh, yeah
She said "Boy, tell me honestly" (honestly)
"Was it real or just for show?", yeah (real or just for show?)
She said, "Save your apologies" (apologies, yeah)
"Baby, I just gotta know"








4.) Cuts to establishing shot of field or street – Another montage of boys doing parkour – frequent close ups for engagement and realism.
When the small beat drops, the parkour montage will begin. The beats before the main drop will lead up to them doing such. For example, the part before he says the chorus, shots will cut each time there is a beat. This will be fast paced, however, perhaps not as fast as the partying montage.






1:45 – 2:22


No narration


Music



How long has this been goin' on?
You been creepin' 'round on me (on me)
While you callin' me "baby" (baby)
How long has this been goin' on?
You been actin' so shady (shady)
I've been feelin' it lately (lately), baby
Ooo-oh (yeah)
Ooo-oh (encore)
Oooh-ooh-oh
How long has it been goin' on, baby?
Ooo-oh (yeah)
Ooo-oh, you gotta go tell me now
Oooh-ooh-oh
She said, "Boy, tell me honestly
Was it real or just for show?", yeah
She said, "Save your apologies
Baby, I just gotta know"
How long has this been goin' on? (on, on)


5.) Mini-Montage / Clips of boys stumbling back to the car – moaning and holding their backs. This is used for comedic effect, thus appealing to the 16-25 fun-loving audience. However, it also shows the boys’ recklessness and complete stupidity to party and do parkour at such a high age (around 80). Shots slow down since music slows down – music pace reflects characters’ moods.






2:22 – 2:45


Music slows down


No narration




6.) Boys arrive at house – talk about how they should appreciate being young and making the most out of the time they have at that age. This is the most symbolic part of the music video since it also teaches/implies valuable life lessons.




Music fades / stops completely


Narration of boys talking about wanting to be younger again


As boys discuss, they notice that they are now their original age and are happy.

Props and Costumes for Music Video

Costume 1 - Fake Beards - These will be used on the characters to portray emphasis on their age. By using fake beards, this will show the contrast between the characters during the beginning of the music video, and the part when they become older. This will also make it easier for the audience to understand what the object/crystal had done to them. If the characters had no props, but rather different clothes, this would make it extremely difficult for the audience to understand what the main narrative of the music video is about. Therefore, props such as the fake beards are very crucial and important to show the contrast between the age and time. Costume 2 - Baggy, old clothes - This is a typical elderly convention. By making the characters wear these types of clothes, this once again puts emphasis on the fact that they have now aged due to picking up the crystal/object. Prop 1  - Glasses, walking stick, etc (mini props) - By using these props, this will make the music vi...
