1. Lyric breakdown
Artist: The Script song: The Man Who Can’t Be Moved
00:00 - 00:09 intro
When the intro is playing there will be establishing shots and pans of the
location were Danial has a permanent home waiting for the girl he met
there.
(1st Verse)
00:09 - 00:14 Going back to the corner where I first saw you
00:14 - 00:19Gonna camp in my sleeping bag, I'm not gonna move
00:19 - 00:24 Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my
hand
In this section it will open with a shot with Danial sat on the floor with a
sleeping bag beside him then it will pan to a close up of a sleeping bag
beside him. Then the camera will move on to Danial writing a description
of the girl, on an old piece of cardboard. However I will film this writing
each letter individually then speed it up to look like Danial wrote it
quickly. Then the shot will cut to words on the cardboard to the right of
him then Danial holding a single photo of him and Annie together.
00:24 - 00:28 Saying if you see this girl can you tell her where I am
00:28 - 00:33Some try to hand me money, they don't understand
00:33 - 00:38 I'm not broke I'm just a broken hearted man
00:38 - 00:43 I know it makes no sense, but what else can I do
00:43 - 00:47 How can I move on when I've been in love with you
In this section people will pass Danial and he will shove the photo in their
direction while singing the first line, frantically. Then one of the passersby
hands him money chucks in his direction. Danial is not happy with this
and throws the money back at them. He will then sit back down defeated
and Danial continues to look at the photo. Then the camera will zoom in
to the photo, and through the editing, the photo, is the photo took when
them two spent time together.
(Chorus)
2. 00:47 - 00:52 Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing
me
00:52 - 00:57And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could
be
00:57 - 1:02 Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd
meet
1:02 - 1:06And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street
1:06 - 1:11So I'm not moving
1:11 - 1:16 I'm not moving
So the next shot will show Annie and Danial wearing the same clothes, in
the same pose but then it will come to life. The shots in this section will
show Danial and Annie doing happy couple activities. E.g. holding hands
strolling along the beach, eating matching ice creams, sitting on the rocks
talking, etc. Then Annie will give Danial something e.g. a shell from the
beach then the next shot will show Danial waiting at the corner tightly
holding the shell or something that Annie has give him, looking solemn
clutching the item tightly.
1:16 - 1:27 instrumental
(2nd Verse)
1:27 - 1:31Policeman says son you can't stay here
1:31 - 1:36I said there's someone I'm waiting for if it's a day, a month, a
year
1:36 - 1:41Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows
1:41 - 1:45If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go
A policeman then interrupts the shot and tries to move on Danial, I will
use disjointed shots to show Danial struggles as he tries to resist the
policeman. The policeman gives up and walks away. The next shot shows
Danial singing the speed of the song, but the people walking past twice
the speed to show the passage of time.
(Chorus)
1:45 - 1:50 Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
1:50 - 1:55And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
3. 1:55 - 1:59 Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd
meet
1:59 - 2:04 and you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street
2:04 - 2:08so I'm not moving
2:08 - 2:13 I'm not moving
2:13 - 2:18 I'm not moving
2:18 - 2:22 I'm not moving
2:22 - 2:25 instrumental
(3rd Verse)
2:25 - 2:27 people talk about the guy
2:27 - 2:34 who's waiting on a girl, oh whoa
2:34 - 2:37 there are no holes in his shoes
2:37 - 2:43 but a big hole in his world
2:43 - 2:48Maybe I'll get famous as the man who can't be moved
2:48 - 2:52 and maybe you won't mean to but you'll see me on the news
2:52 - 2:56and you'll come running to the corner
2:56 - 2:59 'Cause you'll know it's just for you
2:59 - 3:04 I'm the man who can't be moved
3:04 - 3:07 I'm the man who can't be moved
In this section the camera will be on Annie going about her day-to-day
life. Then she will come downstairs and make herself a cup of tea, and
notice Danial’s news story flashes up on the TV. She is shocked because
she thought she lost him so drops the cup, the camera will do a multi-
take on the cup.
Chorus
3:07 - 3:12 Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
3:12 - 3:16 and your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
3:16 - 3:21Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd
meet
3:21 - 3:25And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street
3:25 - 3:30So I'm not moving ('Cause if one day you wake up, find that
you're missing me)
4. 3:30 - 3:35I'm not moving
(And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be)
3:35 - 3:40 I'm not moving(Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the
place that we'd meet)
3:40 - 3:45 I'm not moving (Oh, you see me waiting for you on a corner of
the street)
In this section it will show Annie questioning whether to go back to find
Danial at the place the meet, then it will show him trying to get there
frantically then a two shot will show Annie and Danial meeting, slowly
and romantically walking towards each other.
3:45 - 3:50 Going back to the corner where I first saw you
3:50 - 3:56Gonna camp in my sleeping bag, I'm not gonna move
The next shot will be a close up of Annie and Danial kissing romantically,
but the next shot reveals he wasn’t actually kissing Annie but he was
kissing a randomer, the randomer walks off in a huff, the video ends with
Danial looking confused and upset.
