This is a presentation for planning around the lyrics of my music video

1. “Gasoline”
by Monarch Records
Sanjana Nahar

2. 15s rain falling in reverse, in time with the tune of the song
Instrumental
30s
15s rain falling normally
Panning shot → from ground level, up to waist of singer to see her holding the champagne bottle
The actions that are
occurring in this first
section of the song
has been changed,
instead of rain falling
there are now shots of
the artist walking, the
artists’ hands and a
shot showing a
woodland area.

3. (Bad language to be
censored, either by muting
the song at the word, or by
covering it up with a sound
to make it radio/TV friendly)
Can see the whole artist,
however it’s a back view.
‘Saying that you shouldn’t
waste your pretty face like
me’ → View of half of
artist’s face
Exterior
shots
Film the
artist looking
over at train
tracks .
Show artist tapping the side of
their head.
Interior
shots
Artist is sitting in the
bathtub for these lines.
Are you insane like me? Been in pain like me?
Bought a hundred dollar bottle of champagne like me?
Just to pour that motherfucker down the drain like me?
Would you use your water bill to dry the stain like me?
Are you high enough without the Mary Jane like me?
Do you tear yourself apart to entertain like me?
Do the people whisper 'bout you on the train like me?
Saying that you shouldn't waste your pretty face like me?

4. Close up of
lips (artists)
saying this
line.
Extra’s will be added in
the music video at this
point, lips will be the
only thing that you can
see because of the glow
in the dark face-paint.
They will be lip-syncing
along with the artist.
Artist reveals robotic
eye at this point.
Zoom out from a secondary
camera where it’s focusing in
the artist on the screen.
The artist and extras drop
out of view and only the
artist gets back upThe burning of a
polaroid photo of the
artist.
Hands start on top of
the head, and move
down on this line.
Binary code (zeros
and ones) must be
edited over it.
Hands stay put on lower half of
the face.
Hands move back up
slowly and cover ears.
Hands move down
from the ears and
cross over the heart,
and out with palms up
to the camera.
And all the people say,
"You can't wake up, this is not a dream,
You're part of a machine, you are not a human
being,
With your face all made up, living on a screen,
Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline."
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
I think there's a flaw in my code
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
These voices won't leave me alone,
,
Well my heart is gold, and my hands are cold

5. Are you deranged like me? Are you strange like me?
Lighting matches just to swallow up the flame like me?
Do you call yourself a fucking hurricane like me?
Pointing fingers ‘cause you'll never take the blame like me?
Close up shot of a
match lighting Censoring
Show artist tapping
the side of their
head.
Slice jump edit used
just before the first
line.
This verse would be shot in the woodland area.
The artist would create a
hurricane gesture with
their hands.
Mid- shot of the artist
crouching down
pointing towards the
camera.

6. And all the people say,
"You can't wake up, this is not a dream,
You're part of a machine, you are not a human being,
With your face all made up, living on a screen,
Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline."
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
I think there's a flaw in my code,
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
These voices won't leave me alone,
Well my heart is gold, and my hands are cold.
Close up artists’
lips saying this line
Zoom out from a secondary
camera where it’s focusing in the
artist on the screen.
Reversal of clip with
burning of picture (that
looks like a polaroid of
the artist)
Artist and extras drop out of
shot, artist reappears
Extras appear with artist
(difference is that artist has
robotic eyes as well as lips
whereas extras just have
glow in the dark lips
Artist reveals robot eye again
Lighting dies out after/at each line of
the last half of the chorus
Hands move down from the ears
and cross over the heart, and out
with palms up to the camera.
Light goes out?
Light goes out?Single light stays
on the hands,
leaving them to
be the only thing
seen.
All movements from
previous chorus are
repeated?
