1st idea

Our first idea for our music video was looking well but we decided to alter it in certain ways due to the time scale, we had too many ideas so we thought of just creating a new les complicated idea from scratch.

We were going to begin the video with a blank screen were a fade in was going to be used to introduce the character Eugene, then the music would start. Eugene face would appear in a dark background with his face in the middle of the frame, the thought to use some type of special effect to insert a thinking bubble on the right side of his head with Alexandra’s face, and then Eugene would pan left were a thinking bubble with Gabriella’s face will appear on his left.

After the bubbles fade out Eugene would look down, put his hand on his head to connote stress and confusion, and then we would cut to a shot of him slowly tilting his head up and show a yellow thinking bulb at the top of his head to explore how he has an idea.

After the opening sequence we would cut to an over shoulder shot of Eugene sitting at a computer desk and sending an email to Alexandra and Gabriela asking them both to meet him on a Friday.

After this scene we thought to use a blank screen with “FRIDAY MORNING” and the words would appear in a typewriter.

A straight cut to Alexandra dressing, putting on her make up in front of a little mirror, her room is clean and organised, then we would cut to Gabriela dressing in front of a longer slewed mirror, her room looks gothic, she’s appears more messy. We thought to juxtapose both characters against each other, Alexandra is the clean and smart one were as Gabriela would be messy and gothic.

After the dressing scene we would take a long shot of Alexandra walking out of her house getting on her a taxi to go and meet Eugene and we would use a transition to show the past of time and a straight cut to a wide shot of her coming out of the taxi to walk into the café.

While alex would be set at a table eating and talking to eugene, we thought to use parallel editing to cross cut between gabriela walking to the cafe and alex and eugene sitting at the cafe, this would increase the tension between the two female characters. After a few cross cuts between the two scenes we would explore a point of view shot of alex through eugene perspective, we would use a transition to make the frame blurry and slow down time to create a sort of boredom mood, then a quick cut to a wide shot of the table, speed up the time until alex stands up to leave. As alex walks out the frame another quick cut to gabriela getting closer to the cafe, as alex walks out the door she sees gabriela, this split screen would portray the both characters walking past each other with face expressions of anger and frustration.

After that scene gabriela would walk into the cafe and seem to make eugene laugh and enjoy more than alex could. The plan of our first idea ends on this scene
