Ed Sheeran– Drunk

1. Credits; there will be an extreme

wide shot of Manchester at night

and also during the day , there

will be variations of this shot,

including different locations but

the same style of shot these will

fade into each other. In after

effects I will add a slight wiggle

/ camera shake (this will be subtle

to give a more liquid motion to the

video.) Overlaid on top of this

video will be the credits of all

people who helped create the vision

and there role. (in post-production

I will reduce the speed of the

video form 24 fps to 17 fps this

will make it look very smooth and

like she knows that is coming)

0:00 – 0:30–ECUof eyes, zoom out

into anaerial shot to show him

waking up in a bed on his own.Cut

toMCU following him into the

kitchen, OSS (her cup being the

subject). MCU of his head in his

hands.Cut to MCU of him looking

outside, cut to CU shot of him

picking up cigarette packets. Cut

to MCU shot following him outside

into the garden.

During the first 10 seconds of

the video there will be ambient

sound playing of cars in light

traffic.

(Lyrics don’t start until 20

seconds, starting the video at

15) Wakes up looking at the

ceiling, turns over and looks at

pictures of him and his ex-

girlfriend scattered across the

bed with empty beer cans. Next

scene following him into the

kitchengoes to the fridge which

has pictures of them together on

it with magnets. Looks out

kitchen window outside, grabs

cigarettes and goes outside into

garden and starts to smoke.

I wanna be drunk when I wake up

On the right side of the wrong

bed

And every excuse I made up

Tell you the truth I hate

What didn't kill me

It never made me stronger at

all.

Love will scar your make-up lip

sticks to me

So now I'll maybe leave back

there

2. 0:30 – 1:00 –Cut to MS of him

walking back into the kitchen, not

looking at the fridge as he walks

past. Cut to MS as he wraps himself

up in a duvet on the couch and eats

the cold pizza watching TV. Panning

from left to right from the man sat

down to the TV showing all the

empty beer cans, cigarette packets

and pictures of them around the

room.

Ed Sheeran– Drunk

Walking through the kitchen,

goes into living room and gets

into the duvet watching tv

eating left over pizza.

I'm sat here wishing I was

sober

I know I'll never hold you like

I used to.

But a house gets cold when you

cut the heating

Without you to hold I'll be

freezing

Can't rely on my heart to beat

it

'Cause you take part of it every

evening

Take words out of my mouth just

from breathing

Replace with phrases like when

you're leaving me.

Should I, should I?

3. 1:00 – 1:30 – Fade to MS of him

looking straight into the mirror at

himself, camera shaky to show he’s

drunk. Flashbacks play quickly

through his head. Cut to MS of a

beer can falling off the sink, and

he them looks straight into his

eyes in the mirror and punches it

as it all shatters. POV shot of him

looking down at his blood covered

hand. MS of him falling down on the

bathroom floor.

Him drunk in the bathroom

staring at his reflection, as

flashbacks play through quickly,

punches the mirror and it

shatters, and falls to the

floor.

The flash backs black and white.

Maybe I'll get drunk again

I'll be drunk again

I'll be drunk again

To feel a little love

I wanna hold your heart in both

hands

Not watch it fizzle at the

bottom of a Coke can

And I've got no plans for the

weekend

So shall we speak then

You cut me wide open like

landscape

Open bottles of beer but never

champagne

To applaud you with the sound

that my hands make.

Should I, should I?

Maybe I'll get drunk again

I'll be drunk again
