Lyric Analysis

I went through the song to decide what lyrics need to be mouthed and which need to be stressed obviously to the camera. With these lyrics I highlighted the words that are either repeated or that I want to be enhanced. 

Once I went through the lyrics, I then made notes by the lyrics to relate it to what it could mean and how we could show this within the music video. 

After all of these, i finally timed the durations of each scenes to decide when and how long our own scenes could last. 


Possible areas for filming

I took images to show where we will be filming the different scenes. The reasoning for this, is it allows me to see the area visually, finding out wether the scenes could fit into the different areas. 


Alice will be sitting down by the tree with the background of overgrown shrubs to give the apperance of deserted, empty place 


This picture features the tree with a river beside, again over grown to give the overall apperance of emptiness



This photo is of the hall where Alice walks through, eventually with cards falling around her. The final scene will have Alice placing a crown on her head whilst sitting down.
