Lyric Breakdown

Now that we have decided on the song and its narrative, we also decided to make a lyric and song breakdown in order to establish exactly how the video run at each part. This is a breakdown of the song, which we all participated in doing:


0-0.14 secs
Long shot, medium shot, close up, extreme close up of Me, Sam and Shiggy in order, whilst saying the lyrics "la la la la". (Each la is a different shot type)


Sams Verse (#1)

0.15-0.27 secs
Sam walking around white screen singing along to the lyrics.

0.28-0.34secs
String globe placed in front of the camera, Sam will walk up to this closer and closer to the camera and eventually get to it then "flick it" to the side.
All of this is whilst she is singing "so boy forget about the world cuz its gon' be me and you tonight)

0.35-0.46
Sam on the floor, and the camera will tilt downwards towards her slowly going from a birds eye view to a close up shot of her.


Chorus

0.47-1.15secs
Each will get 2 lines from the chorus, whilst the camera is placing them in a mid shot:

Sam "want you to make me feel like im the only girl in the world"
Shiggy "like im the only one that youll ever love"
Megi "like im the only one who knows your heart, only girl in the world"

Sam "like im the only one thats in command"
Shiggy "cuz im the only one who understands"
Megi "how to make you feel like a man, yeaah"


1.16- 1.31secs
This is the second part of the chorus and all 3 of the girls will peform a dance routine within this point.


Shiggys Verse (#2)

1.32-1.42secs
This willa ll be set in a bedroom and the first will be an establishing shot of the room Shiggy is in, to adjust people to the new setting from the studio.
Throughout the scene she will be dancing around the bedroom and doing her make up whilst singing the verse.
When she says "like a thief in the night" she will look up and a small window of sohail climbin through will show.

1.43-2.00secs
Shiggy then goes back to the bed and hols onto a pillow.


Chorus

2.01- 3.31secs
(Same as previous)
Each will get 2 lines from the chorus, whilst the camera is placing them in a mid shot:

Sam "want you to make me feel like im the only girl in the world"
Shiggy "like im the only one that youll ever love"
Megi "like im the only one who knows your heart, only girl in the world"

Sam "like im the only one thats in command"
Shiggy "cuz im the only one who understands"
Megi "how to make you feel like a man, yeaah"


Megi's Verse (#3)

2.32-3.02secs
Me in the studio dancing around the screen, with different camera shots and fast cuts to sync with the pace of the music.
Arms will fall to each side when im saying "high, high" to emphasise these lyrics.
In the lyrics "take me by suprise" I will look suprised and raise up my leg to show a cheeky position.


Chorus

3.03-3.34secs
(same as previous)

Each will get 2 lines from the chorus, whilst the camera is placing them in a mid shot:

Sam "want you to make me feel like im the only girl in the world"
Shiggy "like im the only one that youll ever love"
Megi "like im the only one who knows your heart, only girl in the world"

Sam "like im the only one thats in command"
Shiggy "cuz im the only one who understands"
Megi "how to make you feel like a man, yeaah"

3.35-3.56secs
Three will fall back onto three separate beds with different mise-en-scene showing different locations and eventually falling out of "the dream" and going back to sleep.
