Analysis of chosen song, including deconstruction of lyrics and exploration of synaesthesia


Brief descriptions of first 10 shots:



1st shot: Establishing shots 

'Twinkling music - up to 0.15 seconds complete a time lapse of multiple locations, i.e bridge, river, street. Time lapse will be filmed using a sturdy tripod. To produce an effective time lapse we aim to film for around 1-2 minutes.

2nd shot: 

'Instrumental continues with the incorporation of different instruments, however still no vocals until 0.30 seconds' - Insert footage of decaying flower in black and white from 0.15-0.23.

3rd shot:

 Side medium shot of Tallulah (female actress)  sat on bench alone, looking down at her roses. (0.23-0.26)

4th shot:

Instrumental continues to play without vocals. Wide shot of actor (Joe) in the studio sitting on wooden stool looking at a rose he is holding. (0.23-0.30)

5th shot:

 'Vocals begin' - (female vocals) - 'You mean that much to me and it's hard to show' > Medium side shot of female actress, Tallulah is positioned on a wooden bench in front of flower shop 'FLOWERZ' in Windsor/Eton.

6th shot:

'Vocals continue' - (female vocals) - 'Gets hectic inside of me, when you go' > Panning shot (close-up), from flowers to face - girl is still singing as shot pans to her face. Camera movement = relatively slowly.

7th shot:

'Vocals continue' - (female vocals) - 'When you go' > Medium side shot of actress placing roses beside her and walking out of frame. Camera Movement = remains stationary

8th shot: 

'Vocals continue' - (Female vocals) 'Can I confess these things to you' > Panning shot, low to high of male actor 'Joe' either looking sad or adjusting his hair. Camera moves at an average pace, faster than panning shot before.

9th shot:

'Vocals continue' - (female vocals) 'Well i don't know...' > low angled shot tilting high - (long shot) - of Tallulah walking down stairs located alongside river river. Camera movement + remains stationary. Camera films un-sharpened and gradually clearer as actress walks closer towards camera.

10th shot:

'Vocals continue' - (female vocals)  'embeded in my chest and it's hard to hold' > close-up shot (medium- waist to just above head) - of Tallulah leaning arm on barrier overlooking bridge/river, on the lyrics 'hurts to hold' > Tallulah turns her body towards view of river and places both arms on barrier, singing out.
We initially noted these shots down in our notebook
