Time Images

It feels like every time we try to open up we feel
ourselves just shut out
and if I could persuade you I would pick your brains
and ask you what you think about

00:08 -
00:23
Establishing long shots of beach, street, filming locations.

From if i could persuade you to little thoughts of ours, shots of
couple on beach. Long shot of walking, mid shots, for expressions,
playing with stone, sand. Cold, wintery, scarves, hats etc.

and we could walk and talk for hours and explore all
these little thoughts of ours
its just that, that thought well it makes my stomach
curl up like a scone (?)
I love you if youre listening alone


00:25 -
00:42
From Its just that to listening alone, close up of artist with
instrument.

should I aim these words at someone or should I just
fantasise again, now
turns out that its easier to strum and make up who Im
singing these songs about


00:50 -
01:06
From should i am these words at somebody to make it so specific,
couple now inside. extreme close up of pressing play on music player.
Pan follows them as they dance. Close up shots of one partner laughing.
perhaps slow motion while she laughs to show importance of her
emotions.



but no harm, I write so they can listen
so theres, no need to make it so specific
and its not like I really need somebody of my own
oh, but I love you if youre listening alone



01:07 -
01:24
From "it's not like to listening alone, mid shot/close up of artist with
instrument, singing.
and nothing I could ever say could ever change the way
we always are
friends
and even though I stray from here I was always
watching from afar, friend

01:31 -
01:46
one partner says goodbye to other as they leave house. match on action
of hand on door handle and door closing. Shot goes to midshot of partner
leaving with big smile on face. then changes to other partner,sitting on
bed and smiling at photo of the two of them.
I was standing on an ore side and i washed off all of
my doubts from the inside and it
tested only everything I thought Id ever known
I love you if youre listening alone
01:47 -
02:04
From tested only everything to listening alone, artist performance
shots.
well eventually we worked out that its our choice if
these ideas fall flat
and I cant believe it took us more than two decades to
find out that
02:35 -
02:49
lots of switching between artists performance and couple in garden
hugging and showing relationship. In late evening so already dark,
though garden lights in background highlight couple in foreground (with
focus on couple).
these moments are ours for the taking
my conscience is already shaking with the
fear of finding that I ended up a drone
I love you if youre listening alone
02:49 -
03:06
From these moments to ended up a drone, artists performance shots
(all very similar to each other). Simple, artist on their own.
From I love you to end of song, final shots of couple highlighting
relationship.
