Cutting to the beat

Below is the lyrics for Finn Riggins "Benchwarmers" song, I have analysed it and explained what concept and ideas that we will use in the final cut of our music video.

 

lip-sync- yellow 

Storyline- orange

Environmental shots- red 

 

All the kids on the bench don't double dutch -  Lip-synch sequence
All the kids on the bench don't hopscotch - Lip-synch sequence
All the kids on the bench ride their fancy bikes, - Conor on bench
ride their fancy bikes to the river - Pete strolls through the woods All the kids on the bench lightin' bonfires - Shot of bonfire night
All the kids on the bench count the shooting stars - Pete looking into the sky smiling
All the kids on the bench holdin' hands down,
holding hand down on the bike path - dance, hip-hop style

All the kids on the bench wearin' blue jeans - shot of Pete walking across with blue jeans on
All the kids on the bench haulin' sweet dreams
All the kids on the bench movin' their feet - running tracking shot
movin' their feet, movin', movin' their feet extreme-close-up of Petes shoes
They all go oo-oo-oo-oo
shimmy to the left, shimmy to the left, shimmy to the right


All the kids on the bench slingin' jump ropes - shot of swing All the kids on the bench shootin' gumballs - Environmental shots
All the kids on the bench swingin' their hips - Environmental shots swingin' their hips, swingin', swingin' their hips - Environmental shots

All the kids on the bench cheat at 7-up - pete splashes his face in sink
All the kids on the bench hot at freeze tag - sees Conor and panics
All the kids on the bench got the breakdance
pop'n'lock-lock, pop'n'lock, pop'n'lock-lock - Fingers Clicking

All the kids on the bench battle thumb wars
All the kids on the bench with their smart phones -
All the kids on the bench with their crazy legs - environmental shot
slidin' with the moonwalk, slidin' with the moonwalk
They all go oo-oo-oo-oo
shimmy to the left, shimmy to the left, shimmy to the right
