For ‘Let Me Go’ By Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger.
There is some sound effects added to the beginning of this song that is included in its official video, if I use the track from the official video the following screen shots shown are the video clips I will use.
Few shots before the piano playing as the intro
The Intro of piano playing
Piano playing before singing starts
The reason for using the instrument is because a convention of rock videos is to contain a prop, most likely a musical instrument. Therefore I decided to use the piano for the into.
LyricsLove that once hung on the wallUsed to mean something, but now it means nothing
The echoes are gone in the hallBut I still remember, the pain of December
Oh, there isn't one thing left you could sayI'm sorry it's too late
First Verse (Page one) At the very beginning there are vocals by the female singer, this would be the reason for me wanting to
use my female actress. I also want to use different shots
to make it more interesting I will hopefully use an appealing transition
between the two.
The reason for me wanting to add the shot of the male
actor, is just to introduce him. This will hopefully
create ideas for the audience for what is to come in the rest of the
music video,
ChorusI'm breaking free from these memories
Gotta let it go, just let it goI've said goodbye
Set it all on fireGotta let it go, just let it go
First Chorus (Page One)
I would like to use these shots as they show location, and
also the image below also has good
lighting. This will hopefully come in
handy when adding different effects.
LyricsYou came back to find I was gone And that place is empty,Like the hole that was left in me
Like we were nothing at all
It's not what you meant to meThought we were meant to beOh, there isn't one thing left you could say
I'm sorry it's too late (Both Sing)
Page Two for Second Verse
At this point in the song I wanted a
change of location to show that the two
people are in different places.
Also I wanted to use the same idea with
showing a clip of the female actress when the male is singing.
This will then hopefully create a
pattern.
ChorusI'm breaking free from these memories
Gotta let it go, just let it go
I've said goodbyeSet it all on fireGotta let it go, just let it go
Second Chorus
In this chorus, this is where the relationship is all ‘up in the air’ and not going well. This is a clip of
the female ripping up to represent this. Later on in the music video this clip will be shown again, just
differently.
The BridgeI let it go
and now I know
A brand new life
is down this road
And when it's right,
you always know
So this time
There's only one thing left here to say
Love's never too late- Both
The Bridge (Page One Ailis part)
So far there are no shots of the two actors together and therefore, for the bridge as each line in the song is alternated between. I thought it was only sensible
and necessary to have this shot where they both sing together.
This also is a good thing as in this point of the song the relationship is coming together.
Last Chorus
I've broken free from those memories
I've let it go, I've let it goAnd two goodbyes led to this new life
Don't let me go, don't let me go
Third Chorus (First part)
In the last chorus, the idea is that the relationship is coming together, so I will
take this original shot and reverse the action. This will hopefully connote to the
relationship.
Don't let me go, don't let me go,don't let me go
Don’t let me go
Last Part of Chorus
With this clip I will edit the speed so it will create more of an effect and linking to the lyrics at this point.
I will also use this clip towards the end as the female has her hand on his shoulder to represent that she let him go.
Last Piano part At this point in the song there are no vocals, so I decided to show the location as I will hopefully
do at the beginning. As there is another piano part I will a different shot of the piano,
therefore there is still a prop involved, however the shot differs the one from the beginning.
Ending of the Song
Last lyrics
Won't let you go,
don't let me go
Won't let you go, don't let me go
As part of the editing there will be a zoom added as the swans come together.
