Digipak's Analysis

Conventions of a Music Video:

Annotated Lyrics:

I have roughly annotated the lyrics - by noting down when the beat changes or other instruments become more vocal in the song.  Furthermore, I have written down where I could place possible cuts throughout the song. This will help me further plan by music video because it will give me a rough idea of when I will place my cuts whilst editing. Additionally, by noting down when beats change - it can further give me an idea of the length of footage I will need for each section of the song.

Lyrics: Timing

-4 second beat before-

I stay out too late - 2 seconds
Got nothing in my brain - 2 seconds
That's what people say, mmm-mmm - 2 seconds
That's what people say, mmm-mmm - 2 seconds

I go on too many dates [chuckle] - 2 seconds
But I can't make 'em stay - 2 seconds
At least that's what people say, mmm-mmm - 2 seconds
That's what people say, mmm-mmm - 2 seconds

But I keep cruising - 2 seconds
Can't stop, won't stop moving - 2.5 seconds
It's like I got this music - 3 seconds
In my mind - 1.5 seconds
Saying, "It's gonna be alright." - 2.5 seconds

'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play - 3.5 seconds
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate - 3 seconds
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake - 3.5 seconds
I shake it off, I shake it off - 2 seconds
Heart-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break - 3.5 seconds
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake - 3.5 seconds
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake - 3 seconds
I shake it off, I shake it off - 2.5 seconds

I never miss a beat - 2 seconds
I'm lightning on my feet - 2 seconds
And that's what they don't see, mmm-mmm - 3 seconds
that's what they don't see, mmm-mmm - 2.5 seconds

I'm dancing on my own (dancing on my own) - 3.5 seconds
I make the moves up as I go (moves up as I go) - 4 seconds
And that's what they don't know, mmm-mmm - 3 seconds
that's what they don't know, mmm-mmm - 3 seconds

But I keep cruising - 2 seconds
Can't stop, won't stop grooving - 2.5 seconds
It's like I got this music - 3 seconds
In my mind - 1.5 seconds
Saying, "It's gonna be alright." - 2.5 seconds

'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play - 3.5 seconds
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate - 3 seconds
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake - 3.5 seconds
I shake it off, I shake it off - 2 seconds
Heart-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break - 3.5 seconds
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake - 3.5 seconds
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake - 3 seconds
I shake it off, I shake it off - 2.5 seconds

Shake it off, I shake it off, - 2 seconds
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off, - 2.5 seconds
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off, - 2.5 seconds
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off - 2.5 seconds

Hey, hey, hey - 1.5 seconds
Just think while you've been getting down and out about the liars and the dirty, dirty cheats of the world, - 5 seconds
You could've been getting down to this sick beat. - 4 seconds

My ex-man brought his new girlfriend - 2.5 seconds
She's like "Oh, my god!" but I'm just gonna shake. - 3.5 seconds
And to the fella over there with the hella good hair - 2.5 seconds
Won't you come on over, baby? We can shake, shake, shake - 4 seconds

Yeah ohhh - 2.5 seconds

'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play - 3.5 seconds
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate (haters gonna hate) - 3 seconds
I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake - 3.5 seconds
I shake it off, I shake it off - 2 seconds
Heart-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break (mmmm) - 3.5 seconds
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake (and fake, and fake, and fake) - 3.5 seconds
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake - 3 seconds
I shake it off, I shake it off - 2.5 seconds

Shake it off, I shake it off, - 2.5 seconds

I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off, - 2.5 seconds
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off - 2.5 seconds

- 4 second beat before ends-

I have roughly worked out the length of each lyric throughout the song; this will help me work out the length of footage I will need for each section of the song. Futhermore, it will help me work out the cuts I will have to make when editing my video.

Copyright Letter:

I have emailed a copyright letter to the company Big Machine Records, requesting their permission to be able to use the track of my chosen artist. I have done this to ensure that my music video doesn't contain any copyright and to ensure them that I won't make any profit off my music video.

First Rough Ideas:

These are images of the first rough ideas that I have had for my music video and what footage or storyline I am going to include in it.

Song Choice Lyrics

I stay out too late
Got nothing in my brain
That's what people say, mmm-mmm
That's what people say, mmm-mmm

I go on too many dates [chuckle]
But I can't make 'em stay
At least that's what people say, mmm-mmm
That's what people say, mmm-mmm

But I keep cruising
Can't stop, won't stop moving
It's like I got this music
In my mind
Saying, "It's gonna be alright."

'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heart-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off

I never miss a beat
I'm lightning on my feet
And that's what they don't see, mmm-mmm
that's what they don't see, mmm-mmm

I'm dancing on my own (dancing on my own)
I make the moves up as I go (moves up as I go)
And that's what they don't know, mmm-mmm
that's what they don't know, mmm-mmm

But I keep cruising
Can't stop, won't stop grooving
It's like I got this music
In my mind
Saying, "It's gonna be alright."

'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
