1. Shot 1: The use of an ariel shot will give the impression that the audience is watching
the artist, who is in her bedroom. This fits in with Goodwin’s analysis as it is a type of
voyeurism. She will be lip syncing on the phone to connect her to the song and to
draw the audience in by making them question who she could be talking to.
Shot 2: This shot will show the artist within her bedroom and creates a sense of
isolation which will imply that the artist is lonely. We chose this shot as it is unique
compared to other more simply shots we could have used. This will show the
complexity of her situation yet the audience will still not know what the situation
actually is.
Shot 3: This shot shows movement which shows the journey that she is going through
at this stage in her life. It also introduces the idea that the music video will follow this
character throughout.
Shot 4: As the shot is tilting down this will represent the artist’s life as currently it is
going nowhere but down.
Shot 5: We will use the props shown in this shot to reveal to the audience more about
the artist. By making it in time with the music this makes the visuals match the beat
which makes it smoother to watch.
Shot 6: This shot will track the artist zipping up the bag, which we have chosen to
imply that the artist is packing up her old life and saying goodbye to it. However it
also leaves the option open for her to unlock the bag again and so to return to her
old life.
Shot 7: Showing the set of the artist’s room will reveal more about her, allowing us to
inform the audience through the use of mise en scene.
Shot 8: This shot will be on the location of the flat stairs. By using a high angle it
portrays the artist as weak, vulnerable and powerless. This implies that although she is
trying to be strong by leaving, it is difficult for her.
Shot 9: We then switch to a low angle shot, which contrasts to the last shot. This is to
represent her gaining courage as she has finally decided to leave and is strong
enough to do so.
Shot 10: This shot is to show the juxtaposition of the artist and the youths. The effect
we want it to have is to show her old life and then her new life. By this we mean that
she used to be like the youths but has now changed and is saying goodbye to the
past.
Shot 11: The point of view shot shows that she is looking back on her past life.
Shot 12: By showing the negative aspects of her past life, this will tell the audience
that it is best for her to leave this place as it isn’t a nice place to live.
Shot 13: The audience will then see the artist’s reaction to this, which we imagine will
be similar to what the audience themselves is thinking. This allows them to feel
emotionally connected to the artist which makes them feel more involved in the
narrative of our music video.

2. Shot 14: A high angle of her best friend shows that the artist has risen above this. It
also implies that she has more power, as she is strong enough to leave a life of drugs,
where as her friend isn’t.
Shot 15: A close up of the artist’s feet is to show her moving on from her best friend.
We picked this as it is quite impersonal and lacks any emotion which implies that
their friendship is over.
Shot 16: This is to symbolise the artist’s friend reaching out for help which supports the
idea that it is difficult to leave a lifestyle such as the one the friend represents.
Shot 17: The extreme close up is to show the artist thinking whilst also showing the
connection that the two friends once had.
Shot 18: This alternate shot shows the contrast between what the characters are
feeling. The artist will want to let go although she can’t, where as the best friend is
desperate for the artist to help her instead of leaving.
Shot 19: This flashback shows the time and depth of their friendship, which helps the
audience to understand the struggles that they have faced together. It will make
them question why they are no longer as close as they used to be and what has
happened to make it this way.
Shot 20: This shot implies that the best friend is watching the artist walk away.
However it also shows that she doesn’t go after her.
Shot 21: By having the artist closing her eyes it shows that she is thinking and may be
having second thoughts about leaving. It also shows that she is reflecting, perhaps
about her best friend.
Shot 22: The location changes in this way to show that the whole situation was last
minute and rushed, and so before the artist had fully thought about what was
happening she had already left.
Shot 23: We decided to show the location fully to show that the artist is still isolated
which makes the audience question what she has gained by leaving.
Shot 24: Using a 360 degree shot allows us to show the artist looking around, which
implies that she is questioning her decision as she is still confused about everything.
Shot 25: A mid shot allows the audience to see the artist’s facial expression, whilst still
leaving some distance between the audience.
Shot 26: This then turns into a long shot through the use of zooming. We selected this
to show that the artist is distancing herself from everyone who tries to get close to
her.
Shot 27: We create tension through this shot as the audience will worry about who it
is walking up to the artist. They will fear for her safety as they know that she is in a
vulnerable state.
Shot 28: During this shot the audience will continue to question who the boy is and
what is going to happen whilst at the same time they will learn that the two know
each other.

3. Shot 29: This longshot shows that the artist is close to her boyfriend, whilst still distant
to everyone else. We have done this to imply that the two only need each other
and so they rely on each other for everything.
Shot 30: This shot is to show the artist and her boyfriend entering their new life.
