3 Intial ideas for the narrative of the video

Wednesday, 8 October 2014

Treatment


My song is Ed Sheeran – Don’t and it is about a breakup of the protagonist and a girl, he trusted her and she betrayed him. I am able get a narrative within the video as some of the lyrics are adaptable for my video. The video will be shot 5/6 different times in different locations and different outfits; I’ll then edit the videos together.

Locations for my video

Studio
A good product is defined by the quality not the quantity. By that the length of the video isn't as important as the quality. The length of my video is 3minutes and 40seconds. The locations of my video have been carefully chosen to fit the song lyrics and the pace of the song, for example for the slower paced areas of the song i have the studio at Wyke which I am planning on booking out for recording in. the reason I am doing it in the studio for the slower paced areas of the song is because it is a darker environment and there are less distractions for the viewer. this is good for the slower paced songs as you are more likely to concentrate on the lyrics of the song rather than the video itself.

The studio will be set up for a one person sitting. My performer will be sat on a chair with a guitar and mic singing the song. The main focus of the camera will always be one the artist.
The camera shots that I will be using will never reach out further than a medium long shot. this is because it's a small room and there is no reason to extend further out because there is no narrative story being played.

Welton Waters
Welton Waters is a small lake in my town area, it's used for water skiing and other various water sports. It has a high verge on one side of the lake and on the other is the river humber. The video will be recorded with the lake in the background as it is more scenic than the humber. The ground is dusty, this is good for the areas of the song were there are sudden fast paced areas as the dust can be kicked up to create suspension to a new line. The shots available in this area are anything from a long shot down, an extreme long shot is too far away and there is too much open space to try and fill.


Long flat back road
On the outskirts of my village there is a very long flat road which is hardly used. This is a very good location and it takes about 5minutes to walk from one end to another. This would be a good location for filming in as it isn't used often because there is a more direct route not far away. The reason why it's good that it isn't used much is so that my artist can walk down the road in the centre and not get disturbed. When shooting this video I will have the camera on one angle perminantly. The angle will be a long shot of him walking and singing the song.

Old windmill at Hessle foreshore
The old windmill at Hessle foreshore is a good location for my video. The video would be a medium long shot looking up at Eddie with the windmill in the background. This will be good as with Eddie looking down at the camera he would look intimidating and also looks as if there is a more personal effect to the song.

lyrics analysis





Lyrics Timing

Ed Sheeran

0.00 -- 0.02             Ah lah-m-lahlah

0.10 – 0.12              Ah lah-m-lahlah

0.12 – 0.14              I met this girl late last year

0.14 – 0.17              She said don't you worry if I disappear

0.17 – 0.19              I told her I'm not really looking for another mistake

0.19 – 0.22              I called an old friend thinking that the trouble would wait

0.22 – 0.25              But I jump right in

0.25 – 0.26              A week later return

0.26 – 0.28              I reckon she was only looking

0.28 – 0.29              For a lover to burn

0.29 – 0.31              But I gave her my time for two

0.31 – 0.32              Or three nights

0.32 – 0.33              Then I put it on pause until

0.33 – 0.34              The moment was right

0.34 – 0.37              I went away / for / months uuunntil

0.37 – 0.39              Our path crossed again

0.40 – 0.41              She told me I was never

0.41 – 0.42              looking for a friend

0.42 – 0.43              Maybe you could swing by my

0.43 S – 0.43 E        room around 10

0.43 -- 0.45             Baby bring a lemon and a

0.45 – 0.46              bottle of gin

0.46 – 0.47              We’ll be in between the

0.47 – 0.49              sheets until the late AM

0.49 – 0.50              baby if you wanted me then 

0.50 – 0.51              you should’ve just said

0.51 – 0.52              she’s singing

0.52 – 0.54 S           Ah-la-la-la

0.54 – 0.55              Don’t fuck with my love

0.56 – 0.58              that heart is soo cold

0.58 – 1.00              all over my arm

1.00 – 1.03              I don’t wanna know that babe

1.03 – 1.04              Ah-la-la-la

1.04 – 1.06              don’t fuck with my love

1.06 – 1.08              I told her she knows

1.08 – 1.10              take aim and reload

1.10 – 1.13              I don’t wanna know that babe

1.13 –1.15               Ah-la-la-la-la

1.15 – 1.16              for a couple weeks I

1.16 – 1.17              I only want to see her

1.17 – 1.18              we drink away the days with

1.18 – 1.19              a take away pizza

1.19 – 1.21              before a text message was

1.21 – 1.22              the only way to reach her

1.22 – 1.23              now she staying at my place

1.23 – 1.24              and loves the way I treat her

1.24 – 1.25              singing out Aretha

1.25 – 1.27              all over the track like a

1.27 – 1.28 S           Feature

1.28 – 1.29              never want to sleep I guess

1.29 – 1.30              that I don’t want to either

1.30 – 1.31              but me and her we make

1.31 – 1.32              money the same way

1.32 – 1.34              four cites, two planes the

1.34 – 1.35              same day

1.36 – 1.37              those shows have never been

1.37 – 1.37 E           what it’s about

1.38 – 1.39              but maybe we’ll go together

1.39 – 1.40              and just figure it out

1.40 – 1.41              I’d rather put on a film with

1.41 – 1.42              you and sit on the couch

1.42 – 1.44              but we should on a plane

1.44 – 1.46              or we’ll be missing it now

1.46 – 1.47              wish I’d have written it down

1.47 – 1.47 E           the way that things played

1.48 – 1.48              out

1.48 – 1.49              when she was kissing him

1.49 – 1.50              how? I was confused about

1.50 – 1.52              she should figure it out while

1.53 – 1.53              I’m sat here singing

1.53 – 1.54              Ah-la-la-la

1.54 – 1.56              don’t fuck with my love

2.24 – 2.25              do this for

2.30 – 2.33              and I never saw him as a threat

2.33 – 2.34              until you disappeared with

2.40 – 2.42              and I wasn’t looking for a

2.42 – 2.43              promise or commitment

2.43 – 2.45              but it was never just fun and I
