Lyrics/Scripting

How does it feel…

(7second intro)

I risee.. I fall.. so pick me uppp

We sit.. we stand.. we move as oneeee

Sometimes it takes a lot of love to keep us goinnnn

We help.. we hold.. I kiss your mouthhhh

We cry.. the sound.. between us nowww

And if it takes a lot of love to keep us goinn nnn nnnnn

How does it feel, each day you wakeee up, the sun is shining on our thoughts so heyyy

Why don’t we wake up, its easy just to take a momenttttt

I call.. to you.. with broken eyessss

You smile.. and you lie ie ie for just a whileee

Sometimes it takes a lot of love to keep us goiiiiin

Sometimes its easy just to loose it
All we need is just a momenttttt

How does it feel, each day you wake up

The sun is sinking on us all so heyyy

Why don’t we wake up, its easy just to take a moment,

everybodys looking for the same thing, Searching for an open door, to take them somewhere, sometimes its easy just to loose it, how does it feel, how does it feel, how does it feeeeeeel

how does it feel each day you wake up, the sun is sinking on us all soo heyyy

(Why don’t we wake up, its easy just to take a moment

How does it feel each day you wake uppp

The sun is sinking on us all so heyyy

Why don’t you wake up

because its easy just to take a moment





I used wordle to scramble my lyrics, to pick out the key words for inspiration of what to focus on in my music video.

Actors and costumes

The actors of my music video are very important. The video being mainly performance based means i really need girls that can act and perform to create the effect that i want. I had to take into consideration what characters i would need. These were:
- Main female singer
- Back up singer and dancer
- Back up singer and dancer
- Male actor for the flashback/narrative scenes
I listed names of who i thought would best suit the role. The main singer will be Jenny thomas, I have chosen this person to play the role because she is very enthusiastic and has a talent for acting. She is quite tall and can be easily made to look glamorous and intimitadating towards an audience for a sex appeal. I will dress her in a short black dress and black heels with her hair flowing and quite crazy and free looking, i want the audience to understand her personality as being a very controlable, glamorous woman.
The two back up singers and dancers are Megan Mcgill and Chanel Abrahams, they are both very similar looking and will be able to give a performance for my music video, i need these girls to be quite quiet compared to the main vocal singer. I will dress these also in black dresses the same as eachother, to show they are not dislike and come as two so that all the actors will link in together.

How does it feel.

The song i am using is called how do you feel. I wanted to use an upbeat pop song which i could use a performance based video. My favourite genre of music is pop because i feel it has an element of fun and happiness. I find many pop videos interesting and the most outgoing. to create my own one i am going to research many pop videos and gain ideas and techniques to create a succesful video.

One video which i would like to relate to my music video is Beyonce - Single Ladies. The song is fun and the video is extremely performance based, in a way i would like my own. The 3 girls in the video, very similar to my own 3 girls, are placed in a plain white room with spotlights on them really expressing their bodys and perfomances, because they are what is being focused on.















I am going to use this idea but placing the girls in a plain black room with spotlights, to emphasise them and make them really stand out expressing a sex appeal to the girls and really inviting the audience in. I think this will look effect because the girls will really shown for what they are, they will be clear in their performance and really glamourised.

storyboards

For my music video I created a series of storyboards of 16 pages and 63 shots. These will be very useful in helping me to film my video, I will have clear knowledge of what to shoot, wat angle, postiton etc, what sound, dialogue etc. I have put the time of each shot at what point it will come on the track and i have clearly drawn out what action will be happening along with an explanation.
