You change your mind
Like a girl changes clothes
Yeah you, PMS
Like a bitch
I would know
And you over think
Always speak
Cryptically
I should know
That you're no good for
me
Script
Woman is looking out for man
in the distance
Shows them happy together sat
on some stairs as a look into
the future
Woman is looking out for man
in the distance
They are playing together
happily in a park as another
look into the future
Close-up shot of girl
standing behind pole staring
at man walk past in the
distance.
She is lip-syncing towards
the camera
Woman is watching man from
behind in the distance as he
sits
She is lip-syncing towards
the camera
She gets her phone out of her
pocket looking happy and
quickly answers it happily
when she sees it is him. She
mimes I love you looking
very love struck
They walk towards each other
and hug as the start of their
relationship
'Cause you're hot then you're Woman dances whilst lip-
cold syncing
You're yes then you're no

You're in then you're out They are playing together

You're happily in the park

up then you're down He helps her whilst she is

playing in the park

You're wrong when it's right They are playing together

happily in the park

It's black and it's white Woman dances whilst lip-

syncing

We fight, we break up They are holding hands whilst

walking around together

We kiss, we make up They are eating together

whilst laughing

(You) You don't really want Woman dances whilst lip-

to stay, no syncing and pushes the man
(You) away as though she doesnt
want him to stay either

But you don't really want to They are eating together

go-o whilst laughing

You're hot then you're cold They dance and lip-sync

You're yes then you're no together in the park

You're in then you're out He hugs her happily and then

You're up then you're down suddenly looks unimpressed
and walks off whilst she
looks sad

Clearances and Confirmations
Contingency Plan
What are your plans for if something goes wrong? What back up actors,
locations and equipment do you have?

Actors If my actors are unable to help me film when needed I will instead
use Kerry Allum and Matt Carter.

Location I do not need clearances from any of the locations I would like to
shoot in as they are public areas. However, due to them being public areas
this may mean that there are many people in the surrounding area. If there
are I can either politely ask them to give us a little space for a few minutes or I
could use another part of the field I would like to film in.

Equipment/Props As there are only two props there will not be much of a
problem. Of the three of us who will be out filming, one of us will definitely
have a phone. As for the bread, I can buy that from the supermarket in town
before we go out to film.

Script If I need to change my script I will try and make it simpler so that it will
not take up too much of the time needed to film. There should be no
changes needed in the script however, as it is very simple already.
