2. LOVE LIKE THIS - KODALINE
LOCATION: STUDIO
INSTRUMENTAL
Girl walking into studio- Shots from mirror and face on. She
appears to be very dressed down to highlight the difference
throughout the song. Baggy white t-shirt, shorts, bare foot,
hair tied up with very little/no makeup. Likewise, male
would walk into the studio with just trousers and a plain
white t-shirt, hair looking slightly ruffled.
Cuts between both male and female actors sitting at the
dressing table; many close ups of different facial features
making slight movements e.g. blinking/licking lips/deep
breaths etc.
running through the heat heart beat
you shine like silver in the
sunlight you light up my cold
heartit feels right in the sun
Initial shot of all makeup on the table, fingers running
over them. Shots of girl applying make up- powder and
blusher. Extreme shots of the brushes on her skin and also
the brushes within the make up pots. Slow motion shots to
fit with the calm feel of the music.
we’re running around like love is
what we found and nothing else
could matter in our lives
but wait
but wait
but wait
Moves onto camera shots of the male actor getting ready
similarly to the female. Close up shot of gel being poured
into males hand and then combed into hairstyle; side parting
typical of that in the 1950s.
the sun’ll stop shining soon and
you’ll be dark in my life
it’s as simple as a change of heart
Shots of female continuing makeup in 1950s style: very thick
liquid eyeliner- extreme close ups in slow motion, blinking
etc.
a love like this won’t last forever
i know that a love like this wont
last forever but i
Female applying lipstick on first line- connotations of
love, lips etc. Male continues to sort out hair, checking
time, deep breaths. Although the shots will be constantly

changing very quickly, the action within the shots will be
either slowed down or just very small which will create a
nice contrast and keep it exciting.
I don’t mind
I don’t mind at all
Split screen of both male and female vertically both doing
the exact same gesture of checking time then looking
straight back to the camera and taking a deep breath.
slipping through the night love
it grows dark but you don’t mind
hiding in the back streets
Females makeup is now complete and she adds a hair tie-
matching the dress- into her hair.
yeah you’ll never notice me
Second split screen, side on shot of both male and female
using hairspray, extreme close up to see the particles of
the spray reflecting against the lights.
all that I was thinking about was
cleaning up my conscienceI got lost
in the memory as it shakes up the
corners of my heart
Male and female begin to get dressed. Shot of male buttoning
up his shirt one by one as the camera follows his fingers.
Female does up the zip on the side of her dress.
was it my mistake
or maybe it was just as simple as a
change in your heart
Male and female both putting on shoes; brogues (1950s) tie
up shoes. Close up of the laces being tied- clear difference
in the male and female from the camera angle showing part of
the costume e.g. the dress against the trousers.
just as simple as a change of heart
Horizontal split screen; boy running his fingers down braces
and girl flattening her dress with the palm of her hands.
LOCATION: STAGE
a love like this wont last forever
i know that a love like this won’t
last forever
Male and female walking to the stage, close up of their
hands separating and them smiling at one another before
beginning their routine.
a love like this
a love like this

4. CONTINUED: 3.
a love like this
a love like this
wont last forever
Many shots of the couples’ routine; the action would be
slowed right down to fit in with the pace of the music. Mix
of close ups, long shots, establishing shots etc. Some shots
of them from the back of the stage looking out into an empty
auditorium with beaming lights. On the fourth ’love like
this’ there would be a lift between the male and female,
again completely slowed down as this is when the music
reaches it’s climax which then comes straight back down on
the fifth and final ’love like this’. This would then show
the couple walking off stage and away from each other and
the curtains closing behind them.
INSTRUMENTAL
In the final 30 second instrumental, the sepia effect which
was applied throughout the entire music video would end and
it would be vivid colour to show an old lady sat in her
front room watching the performance on her television. It
would then cut to an over the shoulder shot of her holding a
photo frame with a picture of the performers in it- linking
the whole music video together as her watching herself
perform when she was younger however her partner is no
longer with her as there is an empty chair next to her. The
vivid colour within the final shots will reinforce this
audience to the audience informing them of the time change.
