Shot by shot breakdown

Our idea, shot by shot

1st shot- mid shot of girl walking towards mike slowly
2nd shot- she is now at mike (close up of her face, she closes her eyes)
3rd shot- do an effect to show that it has gone back in time
4th shot- head on mid shot of the girl laying against the wall (1st line)
5th shot- camera pans around her, then zooms in (2nd line)
6th shot- as camera is zoomed into her face it does a quick flash + changes to his face in same position for a bout a second and a half (3rd line)
7th shot- point of view shot looking down at bruise on her arm (4th line)
8th shot- scene change- side on mid shot of girl talking to councillor, camera slowly pans around to an over the shoulder shot to see girl talking head on (first 2 lines of chorus)
9th shot- quick close up and mid shot flash backs of the attack in b+w (last 2 lines of chorus)

On our shooting day we didn't quite stick too these shots exactly, we altered them slightly and added a few different ones that we though would work well together and overall make a better music video.
