Cutting To The Beat - Midnight Wanderer

The lyrics for our chosen song:

These are various shots and editing techniques that we could possibly use throughout our music promo. We have analysed the lyrics of the song, and thought about the possible shot types that we could include. These shots will used to represent the ideas of our promos narrative and the performance of the band. This process will make it easier to plan our production and will give us a guide line of shots when we begin the filming process. 

(close ups of the instruments) Gets out of bed 

and looks at the clock (close up of the clock)

sees the time

there's no tick and the tock

he was just in time

instead of walking before the chime.

That lonely midnight wanderer  (mid shot of male walking down a street)

sets off walking in search for an answer

(mid shot of the bands performance) he left everything from home to business 

that lonely midnight wanderer.

He used to live the perfect life

Nice house, great kids but a botch of a wife (Cuts/flashbacks to argument in the narrative)

she left him for an Italian fling

left him on the streets without a thing.

That lonely midnight wanderer 

sets off walking in search for an answer

he left everything from home to business 

that lonely midnight wanderer. (shots of broken clocks)

(slo-mo shots of clocks smashing)That lonely midnight wanderer 

sets off walking in search for an answer

he left everything from home to business 

that lonely midnight wanderer. (Zoom out from the clock broken around character)

We will use the timings of the song as a continuous way of editing the shots we have filmed. Doing so, will make sure that once the editing process is finished, the music promo will run smoothly and will prevent any parts that stick out for the audience.
