      Quicker shots will then be added of

      start with a view out of the window

      of a train. It will be high key and
      will include a pan shot round to            From 2:00- 2:24
      the girls on the train. The next
                                                  No FX
      shot will be of the girls in
      college, we will see a few seconds          No Narration
      of a girl writing on a piece of
      card, it will then cut to the other
      girls holding the sign that will
      say weekend and the camera will
      zoom in from a medium, to a close
      up on the sign.



 5.   A high angle long shot will be used         A moment of love, A dream, A
      to see the characters and a few
                                                  laugh, A kiss

      This part of the video will be              A cry, Our rights, Our wrongs

 6.   The next lot of clips will be the           Stay there 'Cause I'll be
      morning after the party. A pan shot

      will go across the house and show
      people asleep, spread out across            still young, It's so young, it
      each other and the room. The house
                                                  runs, We won't stop 'til it's
      will look as though there has
      stereotypically been a teen (skins          over, Won't stop to surrender

                                                  From- 2:44- 3:16
      conventions of this such as,
      bottles, people with pen all over           No FX
      them, streamers, general mess,
                                                  No Narration
      people getting up and leaving half
      dressed, messy hair and hung-over.
      It will show the teens waking up
      and laughing about the night
      before.



 7.   For the final part of the song, it          Won't stop 'til it's over,
      will show the girls, having flash
                                                  Won't stop 'til it's over
      backs of the party. The clips will
      be mainly medium shots and some             Won't stop 'til it's over,
      close ups of them generally having
                                                  From 3:16- 3:55
      a good time. A fading transition
      will go from a packed room full of          No FX
      people dancing to it fading to all
                                                  No Narration
      the people asleep.

 8.   The final scene will be the girls           Won't stop to surrender
      walking out the house, looking
                                                  From 3:33- 3:55
      rough, but happy, showing that they
      had a good night. The shot will be          No FX
      a long shot of them walking up a
                                                  No Narration
      road, walking away from the camera,
      with their backs towards the camera
      walking toward the sunrise, so it
      will be high key. The three of them
      will be holding hands, hobbling
      away, as they get into the distance
      it will fade to black as the song
      finishes.
