Shooting Script
In order to complete this correctly, you should paste the lyrics to your song in one
column and complete a detailed description of what visuals are happening in the
column next to it.
Description of visuals
Slow motion shots of Justin and the rapper
in different locations (field, abandoned
swimming pool), with flickering shots of the
girl Justins singing about.
Shots of Justin Bieber singing in the field
with flickering shots of him walking and
doing his hair etc. Also shots of the girl
getting ready to go out to a club/night out.
Similar shots with added close up shots of
the rapper flicker in. (slow motion)
A big (paper) heart is held up and split in
half to reveal the girl behind it.
Medium shot of Lewis & Roblin holding up
large paper or cardboard heart, which will
be red. Annie will then come from behind of
the heart, you will not be able to see her,
and then she will cut through the heart to
reflect the break up.
Added cheesy shots of Justin singing the
song.
More close up quick shots from different
angles of Justin singing, with more shots of
the girl he is singing about. She will be
getting ready in her bedroom, checking her
phone and looking stressed.
Shots of him texting her trying to make up,
the text appears in a bubble on the screen
but she ignores it. Justin looks at his phone,
see she has read and ignored it, and frowns
into the camera.
Shots of him looking into the camera singing
sadly.
Lyrics
Ooh whoa, ooh whoa, ooh whoa
You know you love me, I know you care
Just shout whenever and I'll be there
You are my love, you are my heart and we
will never, ever, ever be apart
Are we an item? Girl quit playin'
We're just friends, what are you sayin'
Said there's another, look right in my eyes
My first love, broke my heart for the first time
And I was like baby, baby, baby oh
Like baby, baby, baby no
Like baby, baby, baby oh
I thought you'd always be mine (Mine)
Baby, baby, baby oh

Oh for you, I would have done whatever
And I just can't believe we ain't together
And I wanna play it cool
But I'm losin' you
I'll buy you anything
I'll buy you any ring
And I'm in pieces, baby fix me
And just shake me, 'til you wake me from
this bad dream
I'm goin' down, down, down, down
And I can't believe my first love won't be
around

Clearances and Confirmations
You need confirmation emails from everyone that is featuring in your music
video. Please screenshot these emails including the dates and times they are
agreeing to paste them below.
Contingency Plan
What are your plans for if something goes wrong? What back up actors,
locations and equipment do you have?

If any actors back out, we will have Ruby Cruse play the role of the girl, Umar
Hussain play the role of Justin and Aaron Linklater play the role of the rapper.
John Browning will be our backup cameraman, as he is experienced behind
the camera and will quickly understand and adapt to our idea.

If we for some reason cannot use our locations, we will have to use backups.
Our backup field will be the forests near college, as they will give an
admittedly different look to the scene, but create the same effect. If we
cannot use the alleyway for some reason, there is an alternative location,
which is quite like the alleyway nearby, which will work fine. Lastly, if we
cannot use the abandoned swimming pool, we will use the college smoking
shelter, as it looks rustic and has the same theme as the pool, so would give
off the same effect.
