Hey There Delilah
Grace Arnell
Hey there Delilah What's it like in New York City? I'm a thousand miles away But girl, tonight you look so pretty Yes you do Times Square can't shine as bright as you I swear it's true
Hey there Delilah Don't you worry about the distance I'm right there if you get lonely Give this song another listen Close your eyes Listen to my voice, it's my disguise I'm by your side
Plain White T’s
The song will begin with an opening of narrative, being a blurred, dream like out- line of a city as if someone was looking around it. Begins the introduction to the song and narrative idea. (first 2 lines )
The Shot will change to the artist prepar- ing to record his new song in the studio. Shots of beginning to sing and guitar tun- ing...
Flashes back to nar- rative (his thoughts) the city becoming less blurred) coming into focus… thoughts being more vivid… remembering
Close up of Female Face
Extreme close up of artists lips singing
Midshot of fe- male being on location (aquarium, city scene) Interest- ing background. Her back to the camera with her blurred and as she turns around the background blurs.
Artist standing next to her with his guitar sing- ing, next to her in spirit but fades out. Audi- ence feels empa- thy and missing someone

Oh it's what you do to me Oh it's what you do to me Oh it's what you do to me Oh it's what you do to me What you do to me
Hey there Delilah I know times are getting hard But just believe me, girl Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar We'll have it good We'll have the life we knew we would My word is good
Performance part of the chorus, artist play- ing the guitar. Shots will be mid, close up and extreme close up of guitar and him.
Shot of female doing her make up, get- ting ready to go out.
Shots change from make to her face in the mirror.
The movements shall be edited to be slow moving catch- ing every detail like the boy was there watching—him see- ing her that she doesn't need the make up.
Artist stars directly into the camera, edit will be a fade from her face to his. He will be playing the guitar...
Couple together playing the guitar, him teaching her or them walking to- gether.
Him writing the lyrics to the song, camera moves to the bin in the corner filled with paper screwed up drafts.

Hey there Delilah You be good and don't you miss me Two more years and you'll be done with school And I'll be making history like I do You'll know it's all because of you We can do whatever we want to Hey there Delilah here's to you This one's for you
(screen splits into 2 - One half being him singing one half being her laughing) (The Screen then splits again, into 3 - photomontage, artist and female)
Oh it's what you do to me Oh it's what you do to me Oh it's what you do to me Oh it's what you do to me What you do to me.
Music Fades out - shot of him and the photo montage close down and its her face left, then fades out smiling
The girl is getting ready for school, doing her tie in the mirror, collecting folders, slow moves to capture detail.

A thousand miles seems pretty far But they've got planes and trains and cars I'd walk to you if I had no other way Our friends would all make fun of us and we'll just laugh along because we know That none of them have felt this way Delilah I can promise you That by the time we get through The world will never ever be the same And you're to blame
Artist singing, camera will be edited to be black and white. The light will be a spot light from be- hind the artist.
Girl being filmed jok- ing around . Poten- tially girl and guy to- gether, memories go- ing out.
Girl doing her make up / look- ing through a photo al- bum of the growing up togeth- er?
Artist sing- ing, camera zooms out to take up the whole room, highlighting he’s alone

Hey there Delilah I've got so much left to say If every simple song I wrote to you Would take your breath away I'd write it all Even more in love with me you'd fall We'd have it all
Oh it's what you do to me Oh it's what you do to me Oh it's what you do to me Oh it's what you do to me
.
Scenes of the girl joking around in city locations, such as them having days out together (looking back on the highlights of when they were together before she moved..
Texts the girl has got from the guy, flick- ing through old text which mak- er her smile… over the shoulder shot.
Photo mon- tage of differ- ent, romantic phrases and words which he feels de- scribes her… camera moves slowly from one to the oth- er. No given direction
Couple Dancing to- gether and joking around together… spot lights and vivid colour with black background
Chorus will end with the hands separating, close up of hands to highlight her leaving them ‘breaking up’. The audience should feel sad and be able to relate to the feel- ing.
