Detailed Synopsis

The initial idea we had from our previous synopsis idea has changed quite drastically, though the general idea that was behind it has kept in place. The more knowledge and feedback we had fromaudiences gave us more of an opportunity to better our previous ideas. This is what we eventually we came up with.

The video starts myself being introduced first, straight away after ben being introduced to make sure the focus is on the both of us. The bokeh lights drifting across the screen in front of us keeping the linking theme of lights that has been presented throughout our pop package. Then coming to my verse where the focus is put on me straight away with the use of the me being centered and midshots and close shots. An important range of shots used to keep the scene interesting with different cuts of ben inbetween as a quaint reminder that the focus will soon be on him. The chorus then begins the narrative, starting with me looking lost in a forest through a view finder which represents me being watched by someone else, then a high angle shot of myself running through the woods. Leaving the audience wondering why and what i am running from. Then to be revealed when you see a pan upwards of Ben with a camera to provide the workings of the narrative that he is the one looking for me. Throughout the chorus we cut to studio shots also.

Then to bens verse where we use lots of different shots consisting of close ups, mid shots, and different angles. We use two cameras to that we can get different angles whilst still keeping continuity. There are also some shots of Ben 'posing' for the camera creating an upscale star image for himself. Also placing in a shot of me, same as before to keep the focus on the both of us as a band. We then begin using lots of out of focus shots we had place inbetween to keep a good range of difference within the whole piece.

Towards the end of the second chorus we get to the purpose of what I am running towards. The light up box in the wall which represents safeness. The shots coming up towards this are very distant or high angled to make it seem i am unsafe and looking for some kind of reality to hold onto. After the box is found that is the first close up of just me and my face looking serene to represent me finally finding something that is real. Which relates with the lyrics of the song. 'You show the lights that stop me turn to stone they shine when I'm alone'.

Towards the end of the video the shots are just different ones of Ben and I in the studio bring the focus back to the artists before the video ends. Once again this heightens the star image as the focus is purposely being put on them so they are noticed. This also helped by the mis-en scene will be based around golds back and creams to keep it quite sophisticated giving us a glamourous image. Co-ordinating outfits to an extent which is very popular in the pop industry, but giving each of us an individual twist with contrasting colour items to give us individuality at the same time.

We will start filming for this soon the ideas we have come up with have outdone anything we even could have thought of at the beginning of the project. This detailed description will help us majorly when it comes to filming as it gives us a literal step by step guide of what we want. Some of the effects we want will come in with editing at the end, but most of it will be done when filmed.
