Chosen Song

• Benjamin Francis Leftwich – Atlas Hands

Video

Lyrics Take me to the docks, there's a ship without a name

It is sailing to the middle of the seaThe water there is deeper than anything you've ever seen...Jump right in and swim until you freeze

I will remember your face'Cause I am still in love with that placeBut when the stars are the only things we shareWill you be there?

Money came like rain to your hands while you were waitingFor that cold long promise to appearPeople in the churches started singing above their handsThey say "My God is a good God and he cares"

I will remember your face'Cause I am still in love with that placeWhen the stars are the only things we shareWill you be there?

I've got a planI've got an atlas in my handsI'm gonna turn when I listen to the lessons that I've learned

My ActorMy main actor is Jake Faulkner. His role in the music video will be an actor in the video and will not be playing as the artist.

His role throughout the video will consist of an upset boy in love. His emotions will reflect those of someone who is distraught and upset.

His dress sense will be of quite dark, including brown and greens. This will be done purposely to reflect moods once again.

Also I will film a person perhaps walking his dog. Although this idea is still rough

Location

• My ideal location for the video shoot would be in sand dunes and amongst a coast. Due to the area that I live in this is impossible so as an alternative idea it will be based in a forest like setting.

• The whole video is based around nature.• The weather in some shots will be sunny and in others

autumn but it will come across as the video is in one day.• Will be set in a forest like destination known as

‘Knypersley Pool’ in an Autumn theme to support the idea of pathetic fallacy and weather reflecting emotions.

• Another scene on the video will be crossing across water and skipping stones.

• Walking through grass and other field locations.

Clothing

• The clothing in which my actor will be wearing will be similar to that shown below:

Lighting

• The lighting I have chose is natural. I will do my filming throughout and over many days to get different brightness and weather for selected parts through the video.

• In using natural lighting I believe it will secure my idea of pathetic fallacy too allow the weather to portray the actors feelings.

Camera Shots

Main shots will consist of:- Close ups, to define the actors emotions- Wide shots, to include pathetic fallacy- Tracking and panning, this is too show the background

and the loneliness of the character. - Slow Motion, to express passion and love.- Long Shots to emphasise the character o n his own.- I will also use a sped up shot of perhaps the character

walking to show contrast in emotions and actions.- I wish to use many effects such as sepia and black and

white as well as a traditional effects.
