We went to re-shoot the scenes that would take place in the park. One of the shots that we made sure to do was beginning of the video in which Kyle & Zainab would get into a heated argument which would end in them breaking up. We would film this scene several times but from different angles as to add a variety of shots and so that we can then go on to choose which one looked the best and would therefore be used in the video. We also did a couple of shots of Kyle & Zainab. This will be used as a way of showing that at one point they were happy together. We made sure to shoot the same scene again but instead of having Kyle we swapped for Umar. This will be to show that this is the current relationship and they are happy together but at the same time it will be reminding the viewer that she is just reenacting the same things that she used to do with Kyle, it is also not filtered because the past was in black and white.

Location Shots

The first picture is an image from the Manchester City Centre and is one of the locations of which we will be looking to film on. It is typically a very busy area which will be a good thing as it will hopefully make the music video better as it adds a degree of realism to it.

In the second image it shows features a park where will be shooting the scene in which Zainab walks towards Kyle and they begin to argue. This will set off the events of the rest of the video. This scene will reappear at different points as a flashback to show that despite her missing him she remembers what happened and why they did break up in the first place.

This following shot is an establishing shot where the scenes will be shot, in these scenes Kyle and Zainab will be singing the majority of their parts of the song. We made sure to film when the weather was more or less the same to ensure that there was no problems with continuity.

This is a shot of Kyle alone sitting on the bench waiting for Zainab. This is not long before she gets there and they start to argue with each other.

This is one of the potential locations we could use in our final video. In this scene we would be showing both Zainab and Umar sitting at the table, it will show Umar talking to her but she doesn't pay him any attention as she is too busy looking at her phone hoping that Kyle sends her a text message or phones her. It will finish with Umar having enough and then angrily storming off.

Finally, in this location we will attempt to show Kyle singing a part of the song but showing that he is now alone and how it has made him upset and miserable as he slowly swings himself back and forth, this supports the recurring theme of the video of being alone.

Filming days

Monday October 11th 2010 - We went to Market Street in town for our first day of filming. We had to make sure that we discussed what part of the scene we were going to do first. There was a lot of people going past and looking at the camera. We experienced difficulty while we was filming as there was a bin men stood in one of our shot, we had to wait for them to go before we continued filming. The weather was very cold and because of this it took longer than anticipated. Sumaya was doing the camera and had to take many shots so that we can have more angles to work with when we are editing.

On Thursday - We took location shots of the park near college, also we had a discussion as a group about what kind of shots were going to take and how we are going to relate the location to our music video. We took two shots of Umar and Zainab in and around college that we were going to use in our video.

Song Lyrics

[CHRIS BROWN]

Weak,

I have been cryin'

And cryin' for weeks

How'd i survive

When I can barely speak

Barely eat

On my knees

[KERI HILSON]

But that's the moment

You came to me

I don't know

What your love

Has done to me

I think

I'm invisible you see

Through to me

I used to be

Chorus:

[CHRIS BROWN]

You changed

My whole life

[KERI HILSON]

Don't know

What your doin' to me

With your love

[CHRIS BROWN]

I'm feelin'

All superhuman

You did this to me

Superhuman

All day with me

They can't stop me

Here with you

Superhuman

Superhuman

Superhuman

[CHRIS BROWN]

Strong

Since i've been flyin

And ridin' the wrongs

Feels like

I almost had it all along

I can see the

[KERI HILSON]

But every problem

Is gone because

I threw everywhere

But love inside of me

Its unbelievable to see

How love could set me free

Chorus:

You changed

My whole life

Don't know

What your doin' to me

With your love

I'm feelin

All superhuman

You did this to me

Superhuman

All day with me

They can't stop me

Here with you

Superhuman

Superhuman

[CHRIS BROWN]

Its not a bird

Not a plane

[BOTH]

It's my heart

And it's gon go away

My only weakness is you

Only reason is you

Every minute with you

I feel like I can do

Anything

Chorus:

[BOTH]

Goin goin'

I'm goin' away

Love

You changed

My whole life

Don't know

What your doin' to me

With your love

I'm feelin'

All superhuman

You did this to me

Superhuman

All day with me

They can't stop me

Here with you

Superhuman

The first verse will be filmed in the Manchester City Centre. This will be where Kyle is walking and sees Zainab with her new boyfriend.

The second verse will be Zainab singing and looking at her phone. Not paying any attention to Umar (her new boyfriend).

There will be a cut to the past where Kyle and Zainab were happy, then a scene of them fighting and ending up breaking the relationship.

Now that they broke up the lyrics are very relevent to what happens and what the audience sees. "you changed my whole life.." and "but every problem has gone because i go everywhere with love inside of me..." This shows that they still love each other and cant get over the relationship.

The verse after that will be in the Trafford Centre where there is a split screen of both of them singing as the verses in the chorus are where they both together. When the song finished they both will go different ways, which will show the sign of separation.

Costumes

Zainab:

Will appeal to the way teenagers dress up these days and we try to keep the style up to date with the fashion.

Kyle:

Will include dull colours e.g black and grey, which will assume loneness, sadness and shows the separation from his girlfriend has effected him.

Umar:

Will wear casual clothing. This includes a waterproof hoodied jacket which is a bright colour and jeans.

Shooting Schedule

At the beginning of the music video it will be shot on market street, with most of the scenes being shot around the city centre, wherever we deem a suitable location to shoot. Some of the scenes will be shot around and outside the Trafford Centre because it shows a variety of different scenery and shots of different things that happened. The locations will create an impact on the storyline of our music and the genre of it. Then the rest of the scenes will be filmed in the close areas around college. Another lot of the scenes will be filmed in a cafe. Very few scenes we film will be with the aid of green screen.

Monday 11th - 15th October:

Over this period we will begin the production with our first scene being set in the city centre. The main shot will being shot will be a tracking shot of Kyle. He will be walking and at the same time will be looking very upset. The next main shot that we will be attempting to shot is the one where Kyle sees his Ex-girlfriend with her new man.

Monday 18th - 22nd October:

Over this period we will be going to the Trafford Centre and film some scenes there.
