0.00- Video will open with a single long shot to establish the band and

performance setting, then when the recognisable guitar and drum sounds open the

song there will be several close up shots showing the instruments being played to

further establish each member.

0.30- Camera cuts to another long shot of the band from the side stage with the

Camera set to a lower angle to provide the sense of a gig/rehearsal scene. Thereis another cut to an angle behind the performance showing the back of the

guitarists and performer almost from the drummers perspective also placing

emphasis on the lighting.

0.41- Singing begins, cut to close up of the performer miming lyrics. Pace of editing

speeds up significantly it quickly cuts between this close up and a mid shot of all of

the band members when the singing or instruments match their performance.

2.14- Fast cuts between the face on close up performance and a low angle mid shot

of the drummer to match the pace established within the song.

song. Then cut between mid shots of the musicians and main performer.

before the music starts and it again cuts to a close up of every instrument playing

their part of the song.

player striking the last cord before cutting the long shot of the stage face on showing

the performers one last time before cutting to black
