The song i have chosen is 'The Libertines- Don't Look Back Into The Sun'. My music video starts with an extreme close-up of glasses filled with water appearing to ripple in time to the drum beat set on a rusting outdoor walkway. The camera zooms out slowly as this is happening, and this shot lasts for approximately 3 seconds.
This then fades to a medium close-up of the character in my music video, which is me, playing a guitar and smoking sat on a roof, behind this is are busy roads. The shot then pans to the right to reveal more of the background setting. This shot lasts for approximately 12 seconds.
The camera then cuts to a long tracking shot of me walking towards the camera down the street. This shot is also sped up to give the video a more edgey approach. All the time this shot is taking place I get closer to the camera, and eventually I catch up with it shouting the first vocal of the song 'Yeeeeaaahhhh' into the camera in a close-up shot. This shot lasts for approximately 10 seconds. From this close-up shot the camera then spins around to the right, completely about for rotations, this is also sped up to enhance the effect. The spinning of the camera lasts for approximately 2 seconds. It then slows down to reveal me, dressed in different clothing, the same as in the earlier shot on the roof, playing the guitar walking towards the camera from the opposite direction. This shot lasts for approximately 7 seconds.
The shot then cuts to a long shot of the sun, this shot is also sped up to create a fast paced and edgey effect. This last for approximately 2 seconds. The shot then changes angle and downturns to a medium shot of me laying on a roof singing the words to the first verse of the song. This lasts for approximately 21 seconds.
The camera cuts to a medium shot of me in a phonebox singing the words of the chorus into the phone. The shot is taken with the door of the phonebox open, so that it gives the impression that the camera is inside. Midway through the chorus the shot cuts to a medium shot of the same location just from a different angle outside of the phonebox. These shots together last for approximately 13 seconds. This shot then cuts to a long shot of the sun sped up, this lasts for approximately 2 seconds.
This than cuts to a medium shot of me laying on a bed in what appears to be a trashy bedroom setting singing the second verse of the song. This shot lasts for approximately 18 seconds. This shot then cuts to a close-up a computer screen with youtube open. It shows me on a youtube clip singing the chorus to the song, in what appears to be a leaked video. This shot lasts for approximately 13 seconds. 1.43
This shot then cuts to a long shot of me playing a guitar on a roof rotating to the left with the camera rotating around me in the opposite direction. This shot is also sped up to carry on the edgey and scruffy style running through my video. This shot lasts for approximately 23 seconds.
The previous shot then cuts to a medium close-up tracking shot of me walking towards the camera on the rusty walkway which is the same location as the glasses of water stood in the opening shot. This then quickly cuts to a long shot of me stood on a roof blocking the sun with my hands in the air appearing to shout the words 'let me go', which gives a darkened outline of me. This then cuts back to the previous shot, and lasts all in all lasts for approximately 9 seconds.
This then cuts back to the long shot of me on the roof with a guitar rotating to the right with the camera rotating in the opposite direction. This shot was taken more than once moving in different directions and have been edited together for this elongated instrumental/guitar solo at the end of the song. These shots are sped up and also reversed which really emphasises the edgeyness and 'rough and ready' approach I have used all the way through this video. This shot lasts for approximately 30 seconds.
This then finally cuts to another long shot of me standing on the path with the camera slowly tracking backwards away from me, as this is happening I take my hat off my head and throw it away towards the camera then turn around and walk off, my back facing the camera. The picture then slowly fades to black thus ending my music video. The fade to black and seperation of camera and me (the main and only character in the music video) really links well with the light hearted instrumental end to the music once the guitar stops playing.
