The document is a music video script for the song "why do you only call me when you're high" by Arctic Monkeys. The script includes descriptions of video shots and transitions that will depict a man visualizing and trying to contact his girlfriend while under the influence of drugs. Shots include close-ups of the man's face in the mirror, wide shots of the town and band performing, and a recording studio session with flashbacks to the band playing live. The script aims to portray the man's state of mind through blurry and warped video effects to create the impression of being high.

0:00 – 0:30–there will be aextreme
close up of a red switch will then
move up as if someone will turn on
the music, this will last for 4-5
seconds, then go into a wide shot
of a band playing the song, but
also switching between someone
walking up a road this would be a
close upof the face. This would
last up to 30 seconds.
There is a music
introduction of 11 seconds.
The mirror's image,
It tells me it's home time,
But I'm not finished,
'Cause you're not by my
side. And as I arrived I
thought I saw you leaving,
Carrying your shoes,
Decided that once again I
was just dreaming,
Of bumping into you.
The main man is just staring
into a mirror whilst
picturing his girlfriend in
his mind. He is also HIGH.

0:30 – 1:00 – then there will be a
wide shot of the town center this
would last for about 10 seconds,
there will be an effect which is
where the it will spin in a
360rotation and the background has
a blurred trail but the person in
the shot doesn’t. After this it
will go to another wide shot of the
band but a wave effect will be
imported in aftereffects which
creates the impression of a high/
stoned effect.
Now it's three in the
morning, And I'm trying to
change your mind, Left you
multiple missed calls And to
my message you reply. Why'd
you only call me when you're
high?
Hi Why'd you only call me
when you're high?
Somewhere darker,
Talking the same shite
I need a partner,
Well are you out tonight?

1:00 – 1:30 –I will then have a
shot the Band in a recording
studio, this will be a mid-shot
ofthe window and you would see them
through the glass and then it
would have gradual blurry feel to
it on the lyrics, ‘why do you only
call me when you high’. This would
last the 20 seconds, then kit would
flick to a wide shot of a man
walking through a door way into the
recording studio. This would create
the effect of a flashback towards
the end where the drummer comes in
and they playing the song live.
It's harder and harder to
get you to listen,
More I get through the
gears, incapable of making
alright decisions, and
having bad ideas. Now it's
three in the morning, And
I'm trying to change your
mind, Left you multiple
missed calls And to my
message you reply. (Message
you reply) Why'd you only
call me when you're
high? (Why'd you only call
me when you're)
There is a gap of 8 seconds
where the music plays then
the lyrics come in.
The man then walks down the
street constantly
visualizing his girlfriend
in the street, he also tries
to call her.

1:30 – 2:00 –I would then like the
slow motion effect on a wide shot
and It would be a black and
whitecolor image and this would
last for about 15 seconds, then it
would change to a close up of all
the instruments individually and
this would last for another 15
seconds.
Hi Why'd you only call me
when you're high? And I
can't see you here when I'm
high, Sort of feels like I'm
running out of time, I
haven't found all I was
hoping to find, You said you
got to be up in the
morning,
The man is stood outside his
girlfriend’s house and he
wants to go inside but she
won’t let him. He then goes
in and they have an
argument.

2:00 – 2:30–There would be a Wide
shot of the band playing the song
for 30 seconds this would end the
song , there will also be
individual close up of each band
members face playing the song.
Gonna have an early night,
And you starting to bore me,
baby,
Why'd you only call me when
you're high?
The walks out with his
girlfriend and they walk up
the road and it ends on the
hugging, it then leads in to
a music outro of 30 seconds.
There is a 5 second
instrumental.

2:30 – 3:00 –It would then flick to
a close up of the red switch from
the start then it would slowly be
pulled down and then he music would
fade out.
Why'd you only ever call me
when you're high?
Why'd you only ever phone me
when you're high? (x3)
This is all instrumental for
28 seconds.
