0:00 – 0:30 – Robert Miles –
Children (Power Remix).
The first 30seconds of the song,
the tempo and rhythm will be
upbeat but slower than
throughout the rest of the song
because as our music video will
be a narrative we want the pace
to continuously increase
creating suspense for the
audience.
2. 0:30 – 1:00 – Cut back to a LS of
the boxer skipping at an intense
pace pushing himself to the limit,
then cut to a MS of the boxer’s
legs and feet to concentrate and
highlight on the intensity of it.
Cut straight to a LS of the boxer
on the punch bag and speedball
training his fitness then
continuous jump cutting between
this and a TS of the boxer and a
trainer practicing their fighting
moves with pads and gloves for the
rest of the scene.
0:30 – 1:00 – Robert Miles –
Children (Power Remix).
For the start of this scene, the
pace of the music is still
slower than usually, however, as
it hits around 50seconds, the
tempo increases and the rhythm
of the song picks up. This is
when the tune of the music video
kicks in and gets a lot more
active.
3. 1:00 – 1:30 – Cut to a WS of the
gym with various men weightlifting
and training, however focusing on
our main character the boxer. Next
cutting to a CUS of the boxer’s
arms as he lifts the weights for
more detail. Then straight to
another CUS of his legs as he
squats followed by another CUS of
his chest/stomach as he does sit
ups.
1:00 – 1:30 – Robert Miles –

When the tune of the music video
has kicked in, this is when it
is noticeable for the audience
what song it is as there is many
remix’s and versions of this
specific song.

a MS of a set of weights then
zooming out to a TS of two guys (1

between lifting weights and

and jump cuts can issue between
this shot above and ECUS’s of
determination in the eyes of the
boxers.

The beat of the song in this

becomes obvious the tempo is due
to slow down again.

a changing room and will begin with
a CUS of the boxer putting on his
boxing shorts, followed by a CUS of

strapping on his boxing gloves,
finishing with a LS pf him in his
gear looking ready to fight. (Build
up)

At this point of the music
video, the key sound track fades
out and you hear the same upbeat
but calmer pace tempo as you do
at the very beginning of the
song.
6. 2:30 – 3:00 - This 30seconds of the
music video will contain of just
sparring between two men (one being
our main boxer) and the shots will
change every 5seconds from a LS, to
a MS, to a WS, to and AS, to a CUS
shot and back to a LS. This way it
will be a very detailed part of the
video and the straight 30 seconds
of sparring will show the intensity
of the sport and how you can’t give
up and stop.

Here there is a very continuous
fast tempo however it is played
at a very slow pace. With it
being a remix, it is easy to see
that things might have been sped
up or slowed down to manually
throughout the editing process.
At the end the music fades out.
