Script

My song begins with a two second interlude that includes no lyrics, just a snappy beat. There are four beats included within this two second span, and for each o.5 second I shall simply flash the colours pink and yellow alternatively. At 0.02 seconds the song begins. The first lyrics are 'Eenie, meenie, minie, mo', each word being sung one second after the previous. Therefore, for each 'one second' word I shall display a medium close-up shot of four different males. At 0.05 seconds I shall cut to a medium close-up of one of my performers, who will perform the lyrics to the camera. My video will then cut to a long shot of the same performer in order to show establish her outfit, and therefore her overall image, at 0.08 seconds, whilst she continues to perform the lyrics. At 0.11 seconds the chorus begins. My second performer will then be introduced, again in a medium close-up shot of her face, as she performs the lyrics. At 0.13 seconds the camera will pan out to a long shot of both performers who will dance spontaneously for 12 seconds. Each of these shots will be performed against a plain background which will be either yellow, pink or white in colour.

The first verse begins at 0.26 seconds. This shot will consist of a medium close-up of my second performer. In front of her will be a close-up of a males back, establishing a scene where the performer is talking up to the male, establishing her dominance and making a stand. The male will be positioned towards the right hand side of the shot, and the female centered in order to, again, establish her dominance within the shot, but to also ensure that we can see her emotions and watch her performing the lyrics. At 0.38 seconds the numbers '2 x 5' will be displayed across the screen, in a large font and emboldened in order to make it stand out. This will be in time with the lyrics 'All you need to know that i'm a two times five'. At 0.41 seconds the camera will cut to a shot of the performer again, however this time she will be holding a plastic pink gun in a long shot. At 0.43 seconds the camera will film the performer blowing 'smoke' from the end of the gun and the word 'Boom' will appear across the screen. At 0.44 seconds the camera will cut to a shot of the performers feet. Along with the lyrics 'Set your standards lower bow you're aiming too high', the camera will pan upwards until eventually we reach a medium-closeup of the artsist face as she performs the lyrics 'you're aiming too high'. At 0.47 seconds the camera will pan outwards to shot a long shot of the performers standing in the middle of two males. As she performs the lyrics 'so (huh) goodbye' she will push the male on her right hand-side out of the shot.

At 0.50 seconds the words 'Eenie, meenie, minie, mo' are again sung, and as each of these words are sounded, they will be displayed across the screen for one second each, again enboldened and written largely. At 0.53 seconds the first performer will be displayed in a medium close-up shot in the dark, her face eluminated by a spotlight so that we can see her expression and watch her mouth perform the lyrics. At 1.00 minute the performer will change to the second female, also performing the lyrics in the dark with a spotlight upon her face. The camera will then cut to a shot of four dancers, including the two performers, all still surrounded by the dark. This time, the only aspect of light within the scene will be from the large torches that each of the four will hold within their hands. We will be able to see their movements from the movement of the torches, and will be able to the see only the outline of their bodies. At 1.12 minutes both performers will lift the torches above their heads, shining the light upon their faces so that we can see them both perform the last lyrics of the chorus. At 1.15 minutes I will cut to a shot of both of the performers, back against a bright background, with the words 'OH YEAH YEAH' displayed across the screen. The words will then disappear at 1.16 but the performers will continue to dance within the long shot. At 1.17 the camera will zoom into an extreme closeup of one of the performers lips, singing the lyrics of the song. At 1.24 minutes the whole screen will be enveloped in the colour pink. Every 0.3 seconds the pink colour will turn to yellow, and then back to pink in sharp flashing movements until 1.27 minutes.

At 1.28 minutes the camera will cut to a medium close-up shot of the first performer, however she will be alligned to the left of the screen with a line on her right seperating her from the rest of the screen. After 0.3 seconds the the same shot will appear next to the first shot on the left, this time in the centre. After another 0.3 seconds a third shot will appear on the right to establish a shot with three medium close-ups of the same person seperated by two lines. This idea of split screeing will reflect the jump in the lyrics 'E-E-Excuse me'. The split screen will then dissolve into a single shot screen with a medium close-up of the same performer. At 1 minute 30 the camera will zoom out to a long shot and at 1.32 the performer will place her hand over her mouth in sync with the lyrics as they become more high pitched. At 1.36 the camera will zoom back into a medium close-up of the performer with a microscope across her right eye. At 1.38 the camera will cut to a close-up of a stereo speaker, from which the vibrations will represent the rhythm of the song and the lyrics 'dom dom dom...'. At 1.42 the camera will again cut to a long shot of the performer before quickly cutting to a shot of a stack of pound notes at 1.43. The lyrics 'long, long, long' are sung over a one second period, and for each 0.3 second the stack of notes quickly grows in size. This happens three times. At 1.44 the camera will cut to a long shot of a television. Upon the screen of this television will be the performer, performing the lyrics 'want my own TV production company' and she will also be within a long shot within the TV. At 1.48, whilst still filming the television in a long shot, the performer will be cut to a medium close-up within the screen. From 1 minute 51 to 1.53 the camera will film a long shot of the performer seated within a chair, performing the lyrics to the camera. At 1.53 the camera will cut to a medium close-up before zooming in again at 1.54 and again at 1.55, before zooming to an extreme close-up of the performers face at 1.56 whilst she asks the question to the camera 'really?' The camera will then cut back to the long shot of the performer still sat upon the chair, at 1.57, however this time towards the left and right of her will be two males. We will not be able to see their faces, though they shall both be holding champagne and cocktail glasses out to the performer. The performer will continue to perform the lyrics within this shot until 2 minutes 02.

At 2.03 the camera will cut to a long shot of the other performer who will dance within the long shot alone until 2.14, when the camera will zoom into a medium close-up of the performer. At 2.15 the screen will split into two, and the second performer will occupy the right hand side of the screen. The two performers will dance within their sections of the screen until 2.24. At 2.25 the colour of the background within each of the two sections of the screen will swap repeatedly six times until 2.27 lasting 0.3 seconds each.

At 2.28 the camera will cut to a new scene situated within a club. The second performer will be seated within the club surrounded by three or more other females, also seated within the long shot. In front of the group will be a table on which will be glasses and bottles of expensive looking alcohol in order to represent the club theme. The lighting will be dim. The performer will sing the lyrics towards the camera whilst looking as though she is engaging with her friends until 2.37 when the camera will cut to a close-up of a champagne bottle and glass to represent the lyrics 'I can buy my own drink'. At 2.40 the camera will cut to a medium close-up of the performer still sat within the club, performing the lyrics until 2.51.

At 2.52 the camera will cut to a shot of the rain falling upon the camera. After one second the camera will cut to a long shot of one of my performers in the rain, holding an umbrella. After another second the camera will cut to an extreme close-up of the top of an umbrella, and after a final second will cut again to a long shot of my second performer, also holding an umbrella, however this time with her back towards the camera and her arms held outright. This quick snappy shot-to-shot filming will be used to represent the lyrics 'Eenie, meenie, minie, mo'. The camera will then cut to a medium close-up of my first performer singing to the camera, at 2.56. At 3.01 the camera will cut to a medium close-up of the second performer also performing the lyrics to the camera. At 3.03 the camera cuts again to a long shot of both performers, stood in the rain with their closed umbrellas pointing towards the ground, dancing around them. This dancing will last for most of the duration of the chorus, until 3.13 when the next shot will appear of the second performer within a long shot, pointing her closed umbrella towards the camera as though she is pointing at the audience. At 3.15 the performer will open her umbrella and continue to dance in the rain. At 3.16 the camera will then cut to the same long shot, this time of the first performer. At 3.18 both performers will appear again on screen, within a long shot dancing in the rain. At 3.20 the camera will pan up the second performers body in order to show her outfit and her movement. This will happen in slow motion and will last for five seconds, until 3.25, when the camera has reached the performers face, the camera will cut to the same medium close-up of the first performers face, and will proceed to pan downwards of her body and outfit also until it reaches her heeled feet. The camera will then film, at 3.30, the performer kick her heels through a puddle, filming in slow motion the water flying through the air. At 3.34 the camera will cut to a long shot of both performers standing alongside one another, holding their umbrellas to the side and staring directly into the camera, before quickly cutting again to a closeup of the top of an umbrella which will ultimately be twirling around. At 3.38, as the song ends, the camera will cut to a shot of the rain falling one again upon the camera, before dissolving out.
