The opening shots will be
used to briefly establish
he world that the video is
set in. Basically, to set the
atmosphere but not give
too much away about
what cold potentially
happen in the narrative.
Heavy focused on the
narrative from hear on out,
cutting occurs to sound of
the chords. Very slow shots.
When the pitch of the
chords increases the
tension within the narrative
increases.
An action scene shot during
the first chorus. All shot in
slow motion with
perspectives. Ties in nicely
with the repetition of the
word “Ultraviolence.”
The second verse would be
described as the calm
before the storm as far as
the narrative. Reverts to the
slower pace of the first
verse.
The chorus will reveal the
artist’s role within the
narrative clearly. The
chorus will start with a long
zooming out shot to act as
an establishing shot for
dramatic effect.
This verse will be more
focused on the artist trying
to sing to the crowd while
the execution occurs around
her.

2. (3.08) Crying tears of gold, like lemonade (3.11)
(3.12) I love you the first time
I love you the last time
Yo soy la princesa, comprende mis white lines (3.21)
(3.22) Cause I'm your jazz singer
And you're my cult leader (3.25)
(3.26) I love you forever,
I love you forever (3.29)
(3.30) With his ultraviolence
(lay me down tonight) (3.34)
(3.35) Ultraviolence
(in my linen and curls) (3.38)
(3.39) Ultraviolence
(lay me down tonight) (3.43)
(3.44) Ultraviolence
(Riviera girls) (3.47)
(3.48) I can hear sirens, sirens (3.52)
(3.53) He hit me and it felt like a kiss (3.56)
(3.57) I can hear violins, violins (4.00)
(4.01) Give me all of that ultraviolence (4.04)
(4.05) Outro shot (4.13)
This is most important part
of the video. Longer shots
are briefly introduced to
emphasise the execution. It
is vitally important to get
the timing right tot make
the scene emotional and
heart breaking.
The final chorus is basically
showing the end of the
‘performance’ and deals with
what occurs after the justice
has been served.
