Chorus: "Though I'm hanging on a sign, I'm insecure
You got me walking on a line, still I need you more
And all the things I feel I hold 'em back from you
And all the dreams I dream I'm sure they'll hold no truth
I'm insecure"
Hook "I realize that it's me being so cold
Trapped in a box where my heart's been for so long
I realize that it's me being insecure"- she's been waiting for his sign about whether they would work or not. Personally, i feel that she is trying to explain that she needs closure and reassurance that she is not being insecure and holding on to something that is not meant to be. She is in a cold place.
*Camera shots - This would include ecu shots to show the singer's emotions and to express her sadness of her situation. We are planning to have wide shots to introduce other things in the shot such as possibly a piano, contempory dancers, the dark/mysterious locations and so on (these things would be shown to express the sadness of the song and to possibly mirror what the singer is feeling)
*Props and locations- fan, piano, black room, clear streets at night. The fan could be used in the scene/shot where the singer is in a studio/dark room where close up shots are being taken of her. It could also represent the cold feeling of her being insecure and being in love with someone and she would show that she's feeling cold para-linguistically (through body langauge, hand and arm gestures). The dark rooms/ studio represents the dull and gloomy sadness of the song which would as a result, appeal to its lyrics and what it means.
The dark clear streets could also be used as a location where the singer is walking through on her own to again represent the sad situtation that she is in.
*Camera editing - reverse could be used at the end where the whole video could be reveresed really quickly and we could show a scene where she first me the guy she falls in love with (going back to the beginning) this could enforce the idea that she keeps on going back to the beginning and keeps feeling hurt almost like a cycle from when they first met to when she got hurt which keeps going on and on.The black and white emphasizes the gloomy dull feeling she is expressing.
*Actors - Include Contemporary dancers (as they are very expressive through their dance and would be perfect to represent what the singer is feeling), the singer herself and possibly the guy she is in love with for the end of the video where it is reversed.
*Costumes - plain dark coloured clothing would be used for the singer to express that she feels plain, empty and cold.
*Similar songs/artists - Rihanna (Diamonds, Stay) Christina Perri (Jar Of hearts), Alicia Keys (Unthinkable), Leona Lewis (Run, Bleeding Love), Delilah (Go).
