Development on track one; The Xx

Lyrics

(Instrumental)

Please don't say we're done
When I'm not finished
I could give you so much
Make you feel, like never before
Welcome, they said welcome to the floor

It's been a while
And you've found someone better
But I've been waiting too long to give this up
The more I see, I understand
But sometimes, I still need you

Sometimes, I still need you (x7)

(Instrumental)

I was struggling to get in
Left waiting outside your door
I was sure
You'd give me more

No need to come to me
When I can make it all the way to you
You made it clear
You weren't near
Near enough to me

Heart skipped a beat
And when I caught it you were out of reach
But I'm sure, I'm sure
You've heard if before


Indepth Ideas

Instrumental: Instrumental at the beginning is made up of various close ups followed by an establishing shot of the room the boy is sat in. Shows a close up of someone having a cup of coffee and tap spoon to beat.

Verse 1: The boy sitting at a piano in the corner of a room looking through his music and turns to a page with the message 'i'm not finished' (quote from verse one). The boy then looks over his shoulder at the room and stands up, close up of him placing down the music and seeing 'i'm not finished'.

Verse 2: Establishing shot showing a girl dusting photos in her bedroom, comes to one of her and her former boyfriend (boy in verse one), over shoulder shot of her picking it up, fast reaction shot of her looking bleak, followed by her putting the photo down, and close up of image with her leaving the room softly out of focus in the background.

Chorus: The line 'Sometimes, i still need you' is repeated seven times, during this he boy will head to the bathroom where he washes his face, when he looks up he sees 'The Xx' wrote in condensation on the mirror, at the fourth 'sometimes, i still need you', the girl walks past the door which is reflected in the mirror and he turns to follow her.

Instrumental: Match on Action shots of him looking for her under beds and behind doors then change to girl where she sees the boy going up the stairs and follows him, he closes the door. She then gos to open it and he isn't in the room.

Verse 3: This verse starts with the boy seeing the door handle moving in the room he's in, the door doesn't open so he gos to open it and no one is there.

Verse 4: Lots of shots of them looking for each other in rooms they've both been in to show to the audience they are both in the same house, subliminal messages are featured like the lyrics wrote out on book spines. Also shots of them both clapping to the beat.

Verse 5: As the music begins to speed up their looking will become faster as if they're running out of time. The last shots are of the boy going back to the piano, and seeing the music is on a page with titled music saying '
Heart skipped a beat' (title of song and lyric in last verse) . The girl gos back to her bedroom and finds the photo of her and her ex are no longer there.
