dAN's overview
First 12 seconds of 25 second intro.
Looking down onto motorway from a height. Scene is at night/dawn. Shot is light trails from cars. At 9/10 seconds, the camera turns to the left to see guy (who shall be known as Tony.)
Last 13 seconds of the 25 second intro.
Tony is seen walking over the bridge, briefly looks down onto the motorway. Clip is slightly sped up with jumps in Tony walking towards camera.
0.25 - 0.31 seconds:
Climb up, Climb up, Climb up to the top,
There’s got to be something hidden up here
The camera is at a low angle, looking up at Tony’s chin/face. Looking around from side to side though not too quickly as clip again will be sped up.
0.31 - 0.37 seconds:
Come out, Come out, Come out of the house
After all these years you’re still stuck cold.
Camera looking directly down at feet walking along street. Clip sped up again at same rate as previous.
0.37 - 0.43 seconds:
Out out there in the back yard it’s bright
With all sorts of things that just seem to fit right
Camera still looking at shoes, still walking. Tony lifts his wrist to check his watch. Hands on watch are normal briefly then change, hands on watch start turning round and round.
0.43 - 0.50 seconds:
You’ve broken all your pieces in a fit of rage
Show your rage, show your rage, show your rage show your rage.
Tony’s hand hits watch and shakes his wrist as though trying to get the watch off. When watch comes back into view, time is back to normal. (If this doesn’t fill the 7 second gap required then brief shot of Tony’s face/chin as before.)
0.50 - 0.57 seconds:
How long, How long are you gonna hide from the cold it’s so beautiful out here and,
Camera looks at people waking past, most will not look at Tony, but a few will acknowledge him. Shots will be from neck/chest up. Clip again sped up.
0.57 - 1.03 seconds:
There’s all sort of things to do and things to see and things to care about
A follow on from the clip above. One of the faces he sees is a girl. She is one who acknowledges him and smiles. Camera turns around to watch girl walk away who glances back over her shoulder, smiling again. Clip sped up.
1.03 - 1.10 seconds:
How long, How long are you gonna hide from the cold it’s so beautiful out here and,
Camera turns away from girl and rest on couple sitting on bench together, arms around each other. Camera still walking, clip sped up.
1.10 - 1.16 seconds:
There’s all sorts of things to do and
Things to see and things to love
Turns away from couple on bench and looks down at pavement again with shoes walking. Into view comes another set of shoes - a girls shoes.
1.16 - 1.22 seconds:
On a blind date we procreate, lets celebrate with a dinner party
Camera slowly moves up girl’s body and comes to rest at her face. Looks straight into camera and smiles. Inclines head backwards, suggesting that they walk away. Camera at normal speed.
1.22 - 1.28 seconds:
And fall in love with the first girl you kiss,
She is it, she is it, she is it, she is it.
Camera looks down and girl has hand outstretched (girl shall be known as Tanya). Tony takes Tanya’s hand. Side shot of girl walking and talking, looking straight ahead, though occasionally glancing at camera. Clips back to normal speed.
1.28 - 1.35 seconds:
Second to second, minute to minute, hour by hour and day by day.
Lying on ground, hands behind head, staring into sky, smiling and laughing. Cuts between shots of looking sideways at each other.
1.35- 1.41 seconds:
It’s death to the living and insult to the brave
A smack to intelligence a step to the grave.
Couple holding hands, walking away from camera, clip slowed down
1.41 - 1.48 seconds:
How long, How long are you gonna hide from the cold its so beautiful out here and,
As a follow on from previous lyrics, starts with bright white light than a band in view with camera concentrating on lead singer.
1.48 - 1.54 seconds
There’s all sorts of things to do and things to see and things to care about.
Shot of drummer/guitarist playing in time with the beat (singing into microphone).
1.54 - 2.04 seconds:
How long, How long are you gonna hide from the cold it’s so beautiful out here and,
Here we see the whole band playing their instruments, all singing into their own microphones.
2.04 - 2.10 seconds:
The sun is always shining a light, shining a light, shining a light.
Shot of the sun rising and setting in the sky, cars and people in bottom of the screen.
Remaining 57 seconds of song, 12 seconds of no words and 45 seconds of ‘and the sun is out’
More shots of the band playing with close ups of the musicians playing their instruments, singing along to the song, mixed in together with the couple walking around together - holding hands etc.
Final 4 seconds, the final shot.
Camera now focuses on the couple, Tony and Tanya sitting together on a bench. Clip is slowed down, Tony has his arm around Tanya. At roughly the same time they turn around to look t each other and smile. Scene fades out with camera moving upwards to look at sky, fading into white/black.

Hide From the Cold- Chris' Storyboard Overview.
The Jane Bradfords- Hide from the Cold.
Chris’ Version Overview.
- Set in the town of Belfast, which is in complete black and white, a girl in complete colour skips and dances around, with everything she interacts with turning to colour.
- As grumpy, boring people walk with their head down, she smiles at them and/or hugs them and as they watch on in bewilderment, their looks of horror turn into smiles as they turn into colour themselves.
- At one point she is at a coffee house, and after the depressed-looking waitress serves her, the girl beams at her and gives her a tip, to which the waitress walks away, startled, but begins to smile as she turns into colour.
- The girl picks up the coffee and takes a sip, closing her eyes as she savours the taste, and we see a shot of the coffee turning to colour.
- The girl is then seen in a clothes store walking jovially around and running her fingers along the clothes in the rack, which promptly turn to colour upon being touched.
- She takes black and white clothes into the dressing room and comes out with them on, in full colour.
- She does this with a few outfits, looking herself excitedly in the mirror as she checks out each of her outfits.
- Cut to a close up shot of her walking, skipping and twirling around as she crosses a bridge, happily singing the lyrics to the chorus of the song.
- It shows the water under the bridge turning to colour as she passes it.
- Cut to a shop of the Albert Clock ticking away. First it is slow, then it begins to speed up, then go backwards, until it is completely out of control and turns to colour!
- Shot of her getting on the Belfast Eye. Her pod colours up. Shot of her looking out happily at all of Belfast from the Belfast --
- Eye too see random streams of colour in the still-predominantly black and white city.
- Long shot of the Belfast eye spinning faster and faster and changing colours shagadelically!
- She is now in Victoria Square, and as she dances and skips about, whomever she passes watches on in horror, before appearing amused- everything she passes turns to colour.
- An amusing long shot of her walking up the spiraling Vic. Square staircase, as colour follows her.
- As she goes, a black and white guy comes up to her and attempts to chat her up. She looks at him amusedly, before laughing and gently pushing him away by the face and walking on.
- The guy is shocked and startled, but a smile slowly comes across his face as he turns to colour and laughs.
- She reaches the top and spins around as the glass roof in the background changes colours groovily.
- She looks over the edge and sees what is below her, predominantly in colour!
- Another shot of her in the city centre, spinning around euphorically as her background is groovily changing colours and the camera suddenly spins faster and faster.
- The camera slowly stops spinning to see the girl, now calmly walking away, into the distance.
- A final shot of Belfast, the people happy and in colour, as the camera fades to a smiling shot of the girl’s face, then to black.

introduction/ideas/inspiration
The song we will be using for our project is Hide from the cold by The Jane bradfords. I think that the beginning of the song is one of the most interesting parts and could be useful for our video if portrayed correctly. I think the beginning sets the free-flowing rhythm heard throughout. In my opinion the lyrics contrasts to the actual tone. words like "Show your rage" contrast to the upbeat tone, this is something I will try and express in my storyboard.
My video plan is quite simple and tries to reflect the tone of the song moving from shots of the band to the "Story line." By using relevant effects and other editing techniques I think the video will be a success.
I have had many inspirations during the planning process and here are a few examples.
I think the shots of the band in this video are quite good and makes the band seem more interesting, rather than just standing playing their instruments. I would like to try and do something original like this in the shots of the band.
