Story Board
shot 1:
Camera angle:
Below eye level to make audience look up at her to relate to the tower in the lyrics
shot type:
Midshot
shot length:
7 seconds
action:
The protagonist will begin the video by siting ontop of a climbing fame in a kids park playing the ukulele.
misce en scene:
I want to use mostly blues and greens for this shot to emphasise the melancholic feelings the lyrics create as well as to help the protagonist stand out as she will be wearing a singular item of red to symbolise she still wishes to find love no matter how she denies it. No other people should be in this shot to emphasise the isolation.
editing:
cut from this shot to shot 2
