Filming schedule for my coursework music video "Guns and Horses" by Ellie Gou...
Shot ideas for music video
1. “You’re so quiet” – “you move so fast makes me feel lazy”
- Shots of Georgina walking through woods, and she discovers her first
imaginary prop (horse-riding badge) at “you move so fast makes me
feel lazy” and it merges into first stage for the beginning of the next
verse
“And let’s join forces” – “you’re so worth it you are”
- Stage 1: nervous/excited stage where the couple go on their first date
- Merges into shot of the horse-riding badge on Georgina’s wall, which
pans over to (below)
- Shots of Georgina getting ready for their date, nervous/excited
- Shots of the couple meeting for the first time
- Shots of their date at a restaurant/bar
Short guitar solo
- Back to performance shot where Georgina looks at the prop and
realises it’s disappeared. It doesn’t exist.
“But I wish I could feel it all for you” – “I would”
- Shots of Georgina continuing skipping along the woods, miming to the
song
- Shots of her thinking back to the past, vague soft flashbacks appear of
the couple’s memories
“Let’s tie words”
- Georgina steps on another imaginary prop which happens to be a
spoon/cupcake/anything kitchen-related
- She frowns, confused and rewinds her steps to pick it up
“’cause they amount to nothing” – “you’re so worth it you are”
- Stage 2: comfortable/inlove stage
- Merges into shot of cupcake/s that the couple were making, in the
kitchen together laughing happily
- Shots of the couple laying on the sofa together watching movies with
popcorn in their tracksuit bottoms etc. Georgina is wearing no makeup, her hair tied, perfectly comfortable
- Shots of them kissing etc
Short guitar solo
- Georgina is smiling down at the cupcake/spoon in her hand like a mad
woman as she imagines these flashbacks in her mind
- The spoon/cupcake ofcourse isn’t actually there, and when Georgina
realises it again she frustratedly frowns even more so because she is so
confused
“But I wish I could feel it all for you”
- Georgina gets up and tests waving her hands over her eyes to see if she
is imagining things, frowning as she is confused
“I wish I could be it all for you” – “I would”
- Georgina looks around, paranoid and runs off as if she is scared
something is happening to her
- Miming to the song
“It’s time to come clean, and make sense of everything”
- Once again Georgina spots a random prop on the dirty floor ahead of
her. It is a phone. She stops in her tracks, frowns more than ever and
starts backing away
“It’s time that we found out who we are”
2. -
She stops in her tracks, stares at the phone in the distance, takes a deep
breath and decides to walk towards it again.
“’cause when I’m standing here in the dark”
- She picks up the phone, frowns down at it
- It merges into stage 3: distrust, which is a shot of Matt’s phone
Georgina is holding in her hand with disgust/worry
“I see your face in every”
- Shots of Georgina forcing Matt’s phone in his face shouting “what is
this!?” because she has found something on his phone to do with other
females and she does not trust him
“star” (dragged on)
- Back to performance, blinking shots of Georgina shaking her head
frowning, upset as she tries to get these horrible memories out of her
head.
- She throws the phone in frustration across the woods and there are
slow motion shots of it flying in the air
“But I wish I could feel it all for you”
- Georgina begins running away, through the woods as fast as she can
“I wish I could be it all for you”
- As she runs she passes the next prop, briefly looking at it as she passes
she continues running, crying. The prop is a teddy bear
“If I could erase the pain, maybe you’d feel the same”
- Merges into stage 4: arguments/break-up which is a flashback of a
teddy Georgina throws at Matt in frustration, crying
“I’d do it all for you” – “I would”
- Shots of Matt telling Georgina it’s over. They break up
“I’d do it all for you”
- Back to performance shots; - Georgina is still running as fast as she can
“I’d do it all for you”
- Georgina is weaving in and out of trees trying to find her way out
“I’d do it all for you”
- She accidentally stands on an envelope which she looks down at
frowning
“I’d do it all for you”
- Merges into stage 5: acceptance where it is a flashback of Georgina
burning letters Matt previously sent her. She is upset as she does this,
finally accepting that they are “over”
“I’d do it all for you”
- More of acceptance stage
“I’d do it all for you”
- Back to performance shots. Georgina shakes her head frowning and
stomps on the envelope with her foot, crushing it.
“I’d do it all for you”
- She runs until she finally finds the exit of the woods
“I’d do it all for you”
- She turns back and takes one last glance at the woods she was lost in
for so long, and skips away.
- Perhaps close shot of Georgina miming “I’d do it all for you”
