introduce the performance
element of the music video.

Two or three mid shots and
close up shots of the artists
singing and playing the guitar.

face, from the side and front,
maybe include a high angle shot

Cold sheets. Oh, where’s my
love?
I am searching high, I’m
searching low in the night

Long shot of the actor from
behind, of him sat on the bed,
looking out the window. Close
up of a jewellery box, with
extreme close up shots of
various jewellery. Which as an
audience, assume is the
women’s we saw in the picture,
earlier on in the video. Long
shots of the artist in some
woods looking up to the sky to
match the lyrics. Long and mid
shots of the artists walking
away from the camera, with the
guitar in his hand, to break up
his performance sections and
give him his own story as well,
so the audience build a stronger
connection to him.

Does she know that we bleed
the same?
Don’t wanna cry but I break that
way
18 Seconds
Over the shoulder shot of the
actor looking in the mirror, so
we can see his reflection. Close
up shot of his hands holding
onto the sink. Cuts to a close up
shot of the artists hands playing
the guitar to show the contrast
between the age and ability.
Next shot will be a mid shot of
the artist, he will turn his head
towards the camera on the word
‘break’, as it is a powerful word
and his head turn will be quite
abrupt.
