“Where do we run?”- Lyrics

Verse 1

Why don’t you come over here?
I don’t know, I don’t know
You said you won’t disappear
You still go, you still go
And now I’m all on my own
I’m so low, I’m so low
Until you pick up the phone
And just say hello

Chorus

Where do we go now? Where do we run?
You left me with nothing yet I’m the one who’s always wrong
Where do we go now? Where do we run?
You left me with nothing yet I’m the one who’s always wrong
Give me a reason why you’ve left me on my own
You don’t know
We’ve wasted all this time now it’s blown out of control
Out of control
Give me a reason why you’ve left me on my own
You don’t know
We’ve wasted all this time now it’s blown out of control
Out of control

Verse 2

I was not expecting this
Is it true? Is it true?
All of these times that we’ve missed
Are we through? Are we through?
You said “My heart was for you”
It’s not true, it’s not true
And I’ve got nothing to do
Except think of you

(Chorus x2)
End.

Rough Storyboard

Some of the ideas i have may require certain software or experimentation, such as flight and running in space.

I have drawn up a concept/narrative based storyboard, and will try to scan them into blogger. 

Audience Research poll

Please take some time to fill out my audience research questionnaire

The results of my poll can be viewed here...

i will take my results into consideration in further planning stages...

Storyboard starting ideas

The lyrics 'where do we go now?' gave me an idea of things vanishing around a central character. This would be a mid-way point between concept and narrative, i will produce a questionare to decifer how important these things are to the audience.
A possibility would be to use a dark room and play around with lighting, however i hope to use various effects using software such as 'imovie'

Ideas

• Hide and Seek

I have a shot in mind in which the main character is central in the frame smiling stupidly, behind him you see his asumed friends lying on the grass below a tree. they suddenly get sucked up into the branches out of view, Character looks behind him then looks back with a sad face. this can be done by playing the shot in reverse. This refers to the lyrics 'Where Do We Go Now?'

• Time passing
  

Can be done by setting up a camera and recording for a long time, central character either moves slowly or remains very still, then the shot is sped up on software.

• Running

An obvious idea considering the song title, running away from someone or something such as a situation. This could be more possible to shoot if i had the use of imovie 09s' shot steadying feature or i made a make-shift steady-cam. A 'stori cam' could be used here.

• Cutting to Marathon

Narrative could keep returning to an olympic marathon race (close up of character), character is exhausted but beside him is an upbeat girl taunting him.

• Disappearing
  

'Give me a reason why you left me on my own', the idea of loneliness and loosing things. The main character would have to stay still between frames and i will cross-fade objects when they are there and when they are not.

• Water

'Out of control', if i film a character jumping into a swimming pool then reverse it, it would create the effect of exploding and flying out from the water. I would then play this in slow-mo for emphasis
