“Gasoline” by Monarch Records

Sanjana Nahar

Page 2: Lyric Planning

15s rain falling in reverse, in time with the tune of the song

Instrumental 30s

15s rain falling normally Panning shot → from ground level, up to waist of singer to see her holding the champagne

bottle

The actions that are occurring in this first section of the song has been changed, instead of rain falling there are now shots of the artist walking, the artists’ hands and a shot showing a woodland area.

Page 3: Lyric Planning

(Bad language to be censored, either by muting the song at the word, or by covering it up with a sound to make it radio/TV friendly)

Can see the whole artist, however it’s a back view.

‘Saying that you shouldn’t waste your pretty face like me’ → View of half of artist’s face

Exterior shots

Film the artist looking over at train tracks .

Show artist tapping the side of their head.

Interior shots

Artist is sitting in the bathtub for these lines.

Are you insane like me? Been in pain like me?Bought a hundred dollar bottle of champagne like me?Just to pour that motherfucker down the drain like me?Would you use your water bill to dry the stain like me?

Are you high enough without the Mary Jane like me?Do you tear yourself apart to entertain like me?Do the people whisper 'bout you on the train like me?Saying that you shouldn't waste your pretty face like me?

Page 4: Lyric Planning

Close up of lips (artists) saying this line.

Extra’s will be added in the music video at this point, lips will be the only thing that you can see because of the glow in the dark face-paint. They will be lip-syncing along with the artist.

Artist reveals robotic eye at this point.

Zoom out from a secondary camera where it’s focusing in the artist on the screen.

The artist and extras drop out of view and only the artist gets back upThe burning of a

polaroid photo of the artist.

Hands start on top of the head, and move down on this line. Binary code (zeros and ones) must be edited over it.

Hands stay put on lower half of the face. Hands move back up slowly and cover ears.

Hands move down from the ears and cross over the heart, and out with palms up to the camera.

And all the people say,

"You can't wake up, this is not a dream,

You're part of a machine, you are not a human being,

With your face all made up, living on a screen,

Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline."

Oh, oh, oh, oh,

I think there's a flaw in my code

Oh, oh, oh, oh,

These voices won't leave me alone,

,

Well my heart is gold, and my hands are cold

Page 5: Lyric Planning

Are you deranged like me? Are you strange like me?

Lighting matches just to swallow up the flame like me?

Do you call yourself a fucking hurricane like me?

Pointing fingers ‘cause you'll never take the blame like me?

Close up shot of a match lighting Censoring

Show artist tapping the side of their head.

Slice jump edit used just before the first line.

This verse would be shot in the woodland area.

The artist would create a hurricane gesture with their hands.

Mid- shot of the artist crouching down pointing towards the camera.

And all the people say,

"You can't wake up, this is not a dream,

You're part of a machine, you are not a human being,

With your face all made up, living on a screen,

Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline."

Oh, oh, oh, oh,

I think there's a flaw in my code,

Oh, oh, oh, oh,

These voices won't leave me alone,

Well my heart is gold, and my hands are cold.

Close up artists’ lips saying this line

Zoom out from a secondary camera where it’s focusing in the artist on the screen.

Reversal of clip with burning of picture (that looks like a polaroid of the artist)

Artist and extras drop out of shot, artist reappears

Extras appear with artist (difference is that artist has robotic eyes as well as lips whereas extras just have glow in the dark lips

Artist reveals robot eye again

Lighting dies out after/at each line of the last half of the chorus

Hands move down from the ears and cross over the heart, and out with palms up to the camera.

Light goes out?

Light goes out?Single light stays on the hands, leaving them to be the only thing seen.

All movements from previous chorus are repeated?
