At the start of our video, we wanted to have an already strongly established plot that the audience could follow, as the lyrics made it hard for us to have a set story in place from the words used within them, as the female is singing about an already established male character. For this idea, we looked at the original video featuring 'Adele', and tried to resemble aspects within it for the creation of our own. In her version, there are 14 seconds of action, showing a birds eye view of the tall sky-scraper style building she is located in, with many other buildings around it, slowly panning over to show the lights and the beautiful view of all of this, to set a romantic and visually attractive setting for the female to be placed in, also giving a brief idea to the audience of the genre of video they are about to see. As the instrumental starts, Adele is shown sat on her bed looking at her phone, before picking it up and texting her boyfriend. She then replaces the phone back to where it was, before another text in reply is signaled. She then reads and answers this, all shown in a point of view close-up, and replaces it again. We considered this gap for action in our own video, and the action taking place in the instrumental. We decided to use the sequence of her texting with her phone in our own at the beginning, which would establish the male character and the journey of her going out to meet him. We would then have the process of her clearing away things that showed the state she was in since the split to highlight her emotions as the instrumental played, so that this was all done and clear to the audience before the lyrics began. Here are the images that we had taken as we planned this sequence, going from the very first shot shown in the video, up until the beginning of the instrumental, as we bring the audience right in to the story.
This shows firstly the opening from a medium shot
of the female sat on her own on her bed looking around, before glancing over at her phone, to show she is thinking about sending a text, and also about the male character in the video.
The next part of the video shows me picking up the phone to send a text to the male, again from a medium shot.
The next scene shows a point of view of the female's phone
as she sends a text to the male, asking 'Can we meet?', to show what she is looking at and doing, and to add continuity to the scene from the previous shots of her looking at her phone and picking it up.
The next shot shows a medium close up again of her putting her phone back down for continuity.
We then stay at a medium shot, to show the female then picking up a glass of wine half empty which she finishes off, to show the habits she has gotten into since her breakup.
The female then replaces the glass and looks around the room, showing she is thinking about the situation, and also waiting for a reply from her previous text.
The female's phone then alerts she has a message, and she goes to answer in the previous shot, followed by this point of view shot to again show continuity, and also allowing the audience to read it. The text states 'Ok, same place.', to show they are meeting up somewhere they both know and have been frequently before.
The female then places her phone down, and looks around at the mess in the room. At this point, the instrumental begins, as the camera slowly moves out into a wide shot, showing the surrounding mess in the female's room, to express the state she has got in since the split.
The next part of the scene shows her getting up, still in wide shot, and putting a selection of tissues from upon her bed into the bin, showing she is clearing up her life aswell as her room, as she is changing the habits she has been in a for a long time since the breakup.
The next stage of her clearing up is still from a wide shot, as this enables much action to be seen, the vital thing in this sequence of events, and shows her picking up some crumpled trousers from her bedroom floor, again representing how she was getting into a messy state in her mind and her way of life, and now how she is changing it.
This scene continues in wide shot to show the female placing the trousers neatly over the side of her bed, before moving over to the right side of the shot to walk towards her wardrobe and mirror, establishing that action is about to take place.
This final shot is from a side, and shows a long shot of the female putting on a coat from her wardrobe, symbolising she is about to leave, before approaching her mirror before the lyrics begin.
Note: This location was only for test shooting, and will not be used in our actual outcome for our video. The location we will be filming at is Taslima's house, as it is much bigger than this location, and has bare walls without posters up of things that can be seen here, which do not fit with the conventions or genre of our video.
