Our First Rough Draft Of The Step Outline

STEP OUTLINE:

Introduction  (0:00-0:14)– Instrumental music.

  Cutaways of locations and glimpses of Male and Female.

Verse 1 (0:15-0:55)

  Male wakes up in warehouse (implied madness)

  Initiate lyrics with visuals and flashbacks (I.E. “We were lovers” cut to clips of   male and female together)

  Various shots of Male singing lyrics  (“When you coming home?” Shot at   window staring out)

  “It’s cold outside” cue line to start walking back + sing.

Chorus 1 (0:56-1:11)

  Not In Love – fast cuts to various shots of people in tunnel singing chorus   (turning to camera)

Verse 2 (1:12-1:51)

  Male walking in reverse to party through locations

  Arrives at party.

  Shots of him ‘mad’; Male in regular speed, everyone else faster.

  Including flashbacks and cutaways to the ‘past’.

Chorus 2 + Breakdown (1:52-3:47)

  Various shots of ‘party’ scene and male going ‘mad’.

  HEALTH inspired cuts (rapid cutting) of different people faces (close ups)   singing “Not In Love”

Final shot: Two shot of male turning around (still in reverse) to face female lead.

We haven't decided the details upon each section but we have roughly guessed what we want in every verse. We worked together to create an idea that is achievable yet visually entertaining to our target audience. We have decided that the main story with the 'Robert Smith,' is going to be going backwards as our conceptual element, throughout he will have flashbacks to happy times with a woman which will be the narrative and throughout he will perform by singing the lyrics. Combining the different elements will allow for real entertainment. It helps that myself and MItch are quite inspired by the song and thus we are both passionate about creating it to a high standard, with all our ideas.
