synopsis idea for lights.


Lights is a very passionate and emotionally written song, about having security, to be safe. Something Ben and I will portray in the video itself. The song has a very fictitious feel to it. Almost like a fairytale. Something we will also try and express through this music video.

(an example of split screen on the right)

I can imagine the video begining with a darkened room with just out of focus fairy lights in the background. So all you see is an outline of firstly
kira then cutting to the both of them until the build up of the first line, when the mid shot is on kira. The scene lightens with warm lighting. Very soft tones on the face. With different angles being used, quite obscure angles, in time with the music. With shots in between of just kira standing in the foreground with the fairy lights flickering.

As we get to the chorus, the shot brightens slightly, there is a split screen of kira and ben almost mirroring in each other in the different shots. But with different angles being used on them at these times. They peform slightly, with general moving to the beat of the music. Nothing to theatrical like dancing, as it's very simplistic.

When it comes to the next verse the split screen stays with bens performance in the foreground on the lights.With different angles once again with mainly close up's and mid shots. But on kiras side of the screen you see her walking through a deserted forest looking for something, but she's not sure what. Different angles are used for this.

Then in the second chorus the split screen ends skipping from the scene of ben and kira in front of the fairy lights once again. But this time ben in the forest also looking for something. Then in the instrumental it shoots to kira, finding what she is looking for in the forest, It will be something like a key, or piece of jewellary, something meaningful that represents a safe haven.

Then for the last chorus it will once again being both ben and kira with ben finding the same safe object in the forest, something that kira has dropped, which makes him smile, because he feels the feeling of being safe. Then it ends with the fairy lights in the studio going fully out of focus, almost turning into one big light.
