Our music video tells the story of a boy being left alone and not being able to understand the thoughts of a girl. We have chosen the beach as our location, running with the theme of the ocean
in the lyrics and matching them to visuals. This will tick off one of Goodwin's principles in our music Video. The video starts with a close of the guitar being played with the shot zooming out. We have found several photos that from we have gained inspiration for angles.
A pan of the beach follows, however we could have a problem filming this. We have the picture of a empty beach in our minds, we would like to portray the feeling of being alone and deserted but the beach could be busy.
The Artist James is the first person the audience see, he is seen strumming on a beach. He is then placed at a crossroads as the lyrics begin. This shot we would like to film twice. Once with just traffic. The second with James standing in the middle. We would then layer these shots so we could have James in normal motion while the traffic is fast motion.
The audience then see our male character, this is the narrative based section of our video. The boy is seen at the top of a building. Our next shot matches lyrics to visuals once again. It captures a close up of a hand holding sand, portraying the lyrics 'In the palms of my hand are the grains of sand'. The next shot shows our female character. It is a shot of the girl with a friend. We plan to add a slow motion effect. The 8th shot is an over the shoulder shot, the boy is in the sea while the girl walks past on the beach, showing the notion of looking.
The next four shots see a mixture of both mid shots and close up. We also plan to change the speed to. For example in the first shot of the photo falling, we wish to make that slow motion. We could have issues with these shots as the sea could be rough.
The music video would then show shots cutting in between scenes of the artist performing, the girl and the boy. We hope to be able to split the screen in order to show all three in one shot.
We Have concerns with these shots, we are worries about the lighting in them, about whether it will be too dark to film at night. 
These scenes are intimate shots of the couple. We would use a mix of medium and close shots. we also want to shoot a scene with an over the shoulder shot.
These four shot would be a reel of creative editing. We wish to change the speed in both the first and last shots, in the last we want to make it slow motion, and in the first we want to make the people around the artist seem fast paced. We also wish to film a beach flag, in the wind, then when editing reverse it. We think this would give a great effect in the video.
Our music video finishes with closure of a door, the door of the boys bedroom we see earlier in the video. The last shot is the same shot we see at the beginning, of the artist standing at the cross roads. This shot would once again be in different speeds. We like the idea of a circling plot in our video, starting at one point and finishing there. We hope that it will work well. We also thinks its important to close with the last person to be seen being the artist. We think this should end and predominate the video, matching the song with the artists identity. This is another important aspect of Goodwin's theory where record labels like to create a unique selling point with their artist and create them an identity. With this last shot, the audience would be left with a clear and strong image of the artist.
