Pan right to left, 360 degrees spin as Music starts to play Wide shot with character centre and then a pan of the subject’s body head to toe. Distant sounds of cars and trees blowing in the wind. Music intro plays Feeling my way through the darkness, Guided by a beating heart.

As the character is climbing over the last house prop, he then trips and falls to the floor. An extreme close up will focus on his face and then a point of view shot is focused on his hands (which are dirty). A wide shot is focusing him getting up and getting the dirt off his hands wiping himself down. Then an over the shoulder shot of him walking through the forest. 4. 5. 6. So wake me up when it’s all over, when I’m wiser and older. All this time I was finding myself, and I didn’t know I was lost. (2x) I tried carrying the weight of the world, but I only have two hands. Hope I get the chance to travel the world, but I don’t have any plans. 1:30 – 2:00 –A wide shot is used of him running towards the camera and then when his chest is in frame it cuts to him jumping over props (to do with school). This shot will be a wide shot mixed with close up and extreme close ups on all the props and his feet. Wish I could stay forever this 2:00 – 2:30–When he stops running he comes to a ditch and jumps, this would be taken using mid, close and extreme shots. The landing will be shot with an extreme shot which will capture his feet landing in the soil. Life’s a game made for everyone 2:30 – 3:00 –He then gets up and fixes his clothes, a close up shots focuses on his neck. A extreme shot is used to show two triangles on his neck which relate to the artist of the song.

He then starts to see the triangle carved into trees, he realizes it’s the same on his neck and an extreme close up is used of him touching it. He follows the trees and then finds a campsite and friendly people with the same triangle mark but in different places. Close up shots are used to show different parts of the camp and the peoples reaction when they see the main character. They all greet the main character with friendly gestures and point to their marking to show how they are like him. They offer him a drink, a close up shot is used for this and then pointed to a boom box/speaker and then the camera pans out and shows them all dancing/drinking. Didn’t know I was lost, I didn’t know I was lost; I didn’t know I was lost. I didn’t know (didn’t know, didn’t know). Music fades out I think at 0:00 – 0:30 when there is ‘distant sounds of cars, and trees blowing in the wind’ where Ryan has put ‘wide low angle of forest tree tops’ I think it’d be better if we could fit in a visual of cars on a motorway to highlight the cars and not just the trees. At 00:30 – 1:00 where Ryan has said he wants a ‘mid shot of the character walking towards the camera and then an extreme close up shot of the characters eyes’ I think that technique is good, but the lyrics are ‘they tell me I’m too young to understand, they say I’m caught up in a dream’ I think it’d be better if we make an edit of a little child playing but it’s like a foggy dream so it’s defining the lyrics. At 1:00 – 1:30 I don’t understand why there is home related props used to define the lyrics ‘so wake me up when it’s all over, when I’m wiser and I’m older. All this time I was finding myself, and I didn’t know I was lost’ it doesn’t 4
