As a group we decided to analyse the song Hey There Delilah by The Plain White T's because it's the same genre as our chosen track by Two in a Boat and the video was also inspiring to us and we want to create a similar effect with our video.
Screen Shots From The Video:
Our group liked the idea of having two narratives during the main section of the video. We thought about having a spilt screen in two or more frames, on focusing on Olly (the singer in Two in a Boat) sat in a room, alone, playing the guitar and singing and the other half/two sections of the screen follow the journey of a girl through the town, hopping on and off buses and trains after receiving a text from her boyfriend saying 'sorry'. The audience won't really know what she's doing until the end when she walks in the room where Olly's playing and sits down by him. When this happens the two/three frames in the video become one.
Mike, Chelsea and I discussed the fact that it's going to be a challenge synchronising Olly's singing in the video to the actual song but this is a factor that we're willing to take time with to get the best result for our video.
Here is the Plain White T's video of Hey There Delilah:
The lyrics of our song are:
The lyrics of our song are:
Verse One:
You seem to go on and on, and it's driving me insane,
I don't want to hate you
You leave me no choice, when i hear your voice
And now, you're out to get me
Chorus (x2):
I don't want to hate you
You leave me no choice, when i hear your voice
And now, you're out to get me
Chorus (x2):
Take whats wrong and make it right,
You've gotta learn some to gain some sometimes,
No it ain't that easy, no it ain't that easy, no it ain't that
Verse Two:
If you listen then maybe you will never listen,
Take some time out, make your mind up now,
But only change if you want to change,
No it ain't that easy, no it ain't that easy to make this change, to make things change
Chorus (x2):
Take what's wrong and make things right,
You've gotta learn some to gain some sometimes,
No it ain't that easy, no it ain't that easy, no it ain't that easy
We thought these lyrics would fit with our story line as it's about a boy who's changing for the better after being a pain to his girlfriend who then journeys to find him whilst he's singing a song about people changing.
