1. Milk – The 1975
Lyrics Breakdown
-Opening-
(00:00 – 00:06)
Scenic shots of the sunrise – time lapse? This will show the day beginning
– song title and band name could appear in text.
(Verse 1)
Straight lines that unwind you
(00:06 – 00:12)
Footage of the female protagonist being sold a substance at a house party
or in an isolated area such as a car park.
She does a little thing with her eye that says, "We're off soon."
(00:13 – 00:18)
Close up focused shot of the female protagonists eyes – amplification.
She says the bleeding's incidental 'cause she's so cool
(00:20 – 00:24)
Close up or mid shot of the female protagonist lip syncing the words ‘’so
cool’’
She says it's no fun if you've only a bottle of wine
(00:27 – 00:30)
Close up or mid shot of the female protagonist lip-syncing ‘’it’s no fun if
you’ve only a bottle of wine.’’
(Chorus)
And now she's doing it all the time
(00:31 – 00:33)
Footage of the female protagonist being consumed in her addiction
-Instrumental-
(00:33 – 00:38)
Fast paced edits of scenic shots
Yeah, she's doing it all the time
(00:38 – 00:40)
Footage of the female protagonist being consumed in her addiction
-Instrumental-

2. (00:40 – 00:46)
Fast paced edits of scenic shots
(Verse 2)
Slow down
(00:46 – 00:48)
Shots could become longer/slower edit with a camera shot that focuses on
an object or the protagonist stopping what she’s doing.
Yeah, I want you
(00:48 – 00:50)
Protagonist could read a text message/cut in of mobile phone
She does a little bit on the sly that shows what she's up to
(00:53 – 00:58)
Protagonist could subtly tell her love interest what she’s doing.
She started talking about missing him
(01:00 – 01:04)
Close up of protagonist’s lips – movement not in sync with the lyrics so it
looks like she’s talking about someone.
She was glistening
(01:04 – 01:06)
Protagonists smiling from a far away distance – wide shot – slow zoom in
It won't mend your heart if it's only a couple of lines
(01:07 – 01:11)
Protagonist returning to her addiction when the love interest doesn’t reply
to her
(Chorus)
And now she's doing it all the time
(01:12 – 01:14)
Footage of the female protagonist being consumed in her addiction
-Instrumental-
(01:14 – 01:19)
Fast paced edits of scenic shots

3. Yeah, she's doing it all the time
(01:20 – 01:22)
Footage of the female protagonist being consumed in her addiction
-Instrumental-
(01:22 – 01:25)
Fast paced edits of scenic shots
Yeah, she's doing it all the time
(01:26 – 01:28)
Footage of the female protagonist being consumed in her addiction
-Instrumental-
(01:28 – 01:32)
Fast paced edits of scenic shots
Yeah, she's doing it all the time
(01:32 – 01:34)
Footage of the female protagonist being consumed in her addiction
-Instrumental-
(01:34 – 01:38)
Fast paced edits of scenic shots
Yeah, she's doing it all the time
(01:39 – 01:41)
A misleading ‘death’ of the female protagonist that makes the audience
believes she has collapsed. Close up shots of hands holding a prop and
closed eyes.
-Instrumental-
(01:41 – 02:12)
Fade out before an over the shoulder shot of an older woman, which will
have the effect of being the protagonist seen again holding the same thing,
the audience does not see her face. The video fades again before a time
lapse of a sunset appears which is an allude to the day ending.
