Song Lyrics
I have put the lyrics of my song on my blog to refer to when planning camera shots and the scenes I am going to do. When designing my story board, Jodie and I had to keep referring back to the lyrics seeing how long shots are going to take and what scene to do on which particular line or verse, or even chorus. When going through the lyrics, we have noticed that there is a lot of echoing, so when Ne-Yo repeats certain words. This is important because when we do film, we need to make it look like Adrian is being echoed, rather than just saying words twice.
When going through our lyrics, I was completely cautious to whether the shots we have decided on would work with the scene. I am confident that the close up shots of Adrian will work as they will capture his emotions better rather than long shots. Ne-Yo's fans will notice the similarity of this and how Ne-Yo typically dresses in his videos too. I think wearing a suit broadens his audience. He looks handsome and extremely smart. His obviously dressed in this particularly way for a reason. And the reason behind this is that he looks extremely sophisticated and appealing.
When Adrian smashes the frame of a picture of himself and Danielle at a happier time is our symbolic code of destruction. To capture this key moment in our video, we will have a close up of the smashed frame on the floor. The mis en scene will only show the frame as we do not want the attention anywhere else.
One of the mid shots we have is when Adrian and Danielle are lying in bed and Adrian tries to put his arm around her. It is important that we have a mid shot at this point so the camera can capture both of these characters. It not only shows their facial expressions but also their body movement.It is extremely important to show how these characters interact with each other.

Music video treatment
Adrian is playing the artist Ne-Yo, and Danielle is playing the part of his girlfriend. Danielle is cheating on Adrian, and he knows but he acts like he doesn't.
It starts off with bedroom when Adrian is trying to sleep. His girlfriend however creeps in. She's on the phone to the man she is cheating with. She then gets off the phone and gets back into bed, unaware that Adrian is still awake. The song then starts. It is then morning and Danielle gets up while Adrian is laying there singing.
Danielle's phone then rings and she takes the call outside the bedroom. He is then singing in front of the wall.
At the third verse, their then are flashbacks to when they were happy and things were good. We are going to show it's flashbacks by tilting the camera and making it black and white. This will give it the effect that it's in the past. Also flashbacks when they argue and she storms out. Ne-Yo does a lot of singing in front a of wall, so this is what we are going to make Adrian do.
One of the scenes flashbacks are going to be them holding hands walking a long a river. It then turns to present them walking distance from each other while she texts.
When Danielle is with her man she is cheating with, Adrian will be trying to call her. There will be a close up of her rejecting it. Adrian is then angry and smashes a picture of them.
While Danielle is going around the house getting ready, he follows her singing, but she goes to the bathroom and slams the door. Their both on either side upset. They can both kneel down and have their heads in their arm. Identically the same, but either side of the door.
They can also be sleeping and when Danielle wakes up she realises Adrian was trying to put his arm around her. When she realises it, she pushes it off her and gets up.
He also tries doing things for her, for example making her dinner, but Danielle makes an excuse and leaves. He then throws the dinner in the bin.
It ends with Adrian singing against the wall.
