It creates an eerie tense atmosphere as it is unclear where they have gone.11 Close-up Reverts back to shot of Actor 12 Long Shot Still shot with shallow focus. The camera will be mainly focused on the environment rather than the artist who is in the distance of the shot.

  18 Long Shot Thecamera will show a high angle that would clearly show that there is nobody behind her. The location will suddenly feel huge and less claustrophobic due to the camera angles when the rabbit men are not currently trying to get to the actor. 19 Close up The camera will show the actor’s hand shaking with nerves and tension The Actor’s hand will be shaking and clenched tightly in fear. 20 Medium Shot A low angle shot which will focus on making the rabbit man look incredibly intimidating. The Rabbit man will seem to tower over the actor and she would not even realise he is there. 21 Close up Still shot of the artist turning around. This will play on the idea that the Rabbit men may not actually be real or are supernatural beings. The actor will look terrified in this section. 22 Long Shot Shot zooming in slowly to make shot look denser. 23 Wide Shot Large scale still shot. This shot will emphasise the loneliness of the actor and her isolation within the forest. The forest within this shot will be the main priority as it will tower over the actor to the point where the actor looks tiny. 24 Close-up Simple close up of the actor lip synching 25 Medium shot The camera will track the actor from a distance as she walks down some steps. This shot will show how the actor is descending into more madness by walking down the stairs into ‘the Rabbit Hole’ where she will be in even more danger. 26 The actor will be at the side of the camera at a considerably low angle. This is done to further show what is behind her when she isn’t looking in the right direction. It will create the idea that the actor is now in a more dangerous situation within the narrative of the song. The shot will show the rabbit men in the background creeping towards the actor while they are stood in the landscape. The separate field will be used to show how the rabbit men are so close yet so far. The actor will turn around to look at them sensing their presence. 27 Close-up Another shot of the actor turning around. This one will be done at a much slower pace. Slow turn of the head. Almost as if she does not want to actually see what is behind her. 28 Point of view Shot The shot will this time show the rabbit men walking towards the actor as she is now too far into ‘the rabbit hole’ so she is able to see them. These shots will be done in long takes to emphasise the importance and scope of the actions that have just occurred during the narrative. This will be the first time the actor actually looks at the camera as the reverse shots of each character looking at each other from their perspective is the most vital part of the narrative. The Actor will run from the Rabbit men when the camera is focused on her as she is now able to realise her fears are a disturbing reality. 29 30 Medium shot The Camera will be at a low angle tracking backwards quickly. The actor will be trying to run as fast as possible but she will be struggling as she will be weak from trying to run away from them for such a long time. 31 Close up The camera will tilt upwards towards the face of a rabbit. Two of the rabbits will be seen walking towards the direction of where the actor went. The tilt shot will go up to the standing rabbits face. This shot is done to confirm that the real pursuit for both divisions has now begun. 32 Long shot The camera will be stationary and will shoot the actor from a distance This is meant to show the urgency within the actor to escape despite the fact she is lost in a

  as she triesto escape the forest. place she does not fully understand. This will mean she will look panicked and confused by the whole ordeal. There will be rabbit men in the forest that will be hidden so they will blend in with the background. 33 Medium Close up Camera will zoom out slowly on a rabbit in the trees where the actor is. The rabbit will be perched on top of a tree looking downwards like he is searching for his prey. The overemphasis on rabbits now shows that the Actor is now the stranger in their world and the rabbits are not the strangers in her world. 34 Zooming out shot that shows the actor confused about where to go. This is done to emphasise the panic and the confusion within the actor. There will again some rabbits in the background. 35 Mediums shot Zooming in shot of three Rabbits watching in the distance. This is done to emphasise the danger and power of the rabbits. The centre rabbit will have one of his hands raised in the air. Almost in a sense of a declaration of war on the actor. This will be shot on a field near the forest where the actor is in to show how close they are to her. 36 close up Zooming in shot of the main rabbit’s face. 37 Close up The first shot will be of the actor from the front, quickly walking down a hidden area she thinks is safe. The second shot will be a reversed shot of her head from behind. The Actor will have now entered a deeper part of the forest. This section will feature no rabbits temporally to create a false sense of hope.38 39 Medium Shot The camera will be stationarybut have a deep focus with only the main actor’s head. It will be mainly focused on the rabbits in the background. The rabbits will appear from behind scenery in the area and walk towards her. The Actor will be looking around convinced she is now safe and sound. She will then have a face of terror as she sees more rabbits homing in on her. It will encapsulate the terror and fear that the men are creating as they seem to be almost supernatural in their nature when they get to the actor. 40 Low angle Long Shot A stationary shot showing more rabbits in front of the actor. 41 Extreme Close Up Zoom in on the Actor’s face to show the claustrophobic she is currently in. 42 Long/ Point of View shot The actor will see an escape route within the trees for her to escape. 43 Medium Close up The Rabbit men will turn slowly to where the actor has run to. There will be two or three other rabbits in the background moving forward. 44 Medium shot Three rabbits walking down a pathway trying to find the actor. This will briefly let the audience see life from their perspective but will not give away enough about them personally. The following shots will show the comparisons and similarities between the two divisions despite them being opposed to each other. It is supposed to show the contrast in emotions with the actor looking panicked and running fast. Whereasthe Rabbits are cold, emotionless and are walking slowly. 45 Extreme close-up 46 Long shot

  47 A shot ofthe actor running alone along a similar stretch of forest. Camera will be tracking backwards to keep up with the actor’s running. 48 Medium Shot Stationary shot of Rabbits looking up into the sky. IT will noticeable that time has passed as the sky will be darker than it was at the beginning of the video. The Rabbits will silhouetted by the darkness. 49 Medium close up Actor sees something in the distance. Camera tracks backwardsthen stopswhen the actor does. The actor is given a sense that they have escaped the Rabbits as she sees a gate in the distance that leads out of the forest. The gate has no trees behind it so it is clear that it looks like an escape route. 50 Longshot/Point of View Zooming in shot of gate in the distance. 51 Low angle medium shot Tracking backwardsslightly to give scope. The actor opens the gate and gets out of the forest. She is no longer running as she feels that she is safe from the rabbits as she is no longer in the forest. 52 Establishing Shot Zooming in slightly on the centred rock to hint at its significance. Large, hilly grass field with a large rock right at the centre of it. It will be a mysterious location as it seems completely disconnected from the previous locations that were present in the video. The area will also be isolated but it will have a more relaxed feeling to it due to the fact it is not a dead forest. It is a location which looks alive and active. At the very least 53 Medium shot Tracking shotfromthe side of the actor walking up to the rock in the hill while she is lip synching the chorus of the song. 54 Close up Actor lip synching while walking towards the rock. 55 Point of View, Long Shot Actor walks up to the rock and sits down with her back being supported by the rock. The Camera will be handheld to give a sense it is the rabbits watching her from a distance. 56 Medium Close up into a Long Shot. Stationary shot, which will zoom out on a large, scale revealing more within the scene. As the camera zooms out it will revealthat there is a rabbit stood on the rock looking over her. There is also one stood on the left of her and there is one stood on the right. This is the most important scene in the video, as it will show how the rabbits will always be following the actor no matter where she is in her life. 57 Medium close up Stationaryshotof the actor turning their head to the left very quickly sensing that there is something with her. The actor will look around, as she is paranoid that the rabbits have followed her to the rock. Her search is however unsuccessful as they seem to have vanished. However it does show that she is learning from her previous mistakes and is becoming more aware of their presence. 58 Close up Stationary shot on a high angle. Actor stands up and looks where a rabbit was standing. 59 Point of view/Long shot Camera tracks sideways showing the area as empty. 60 Medium Shot Zooming out shot of Rabbits stood behind her. Actor turns to them slowly this time aware of their existence. 61 On a high angle to representthe inferiority of the actor and intimidating nature of the Rabbits. The Rabbits have left the actor with no way of escaping, as there are no gaps where the Actor could escape like there was previously.62 Point of View/Medium Close up Sweeping, low angle shot of the Rabbits stood over where the actor would be.

  63 Extreme Closeup Zooming in shot on the actor’s face. 64 Long shot turning into a medium shot The Camera will zoom out as the Rabbits walk along with the actor. As the camera zooms out it reveals a rabbit stood in the distance who is staring at the camera. The actor will be held by her arms and will be forced and will be struggling massively. One Rabbit will have hold of an arm each will one walks towards the camera. This will show the victory of the Rabbits in having captured the actor. This will end the narrative with almost a break of the fourth wall with the Rabbits staring at the camera as if he is staring at the viewer. He will walk towards the camera at the end symbolising he is coming for the viewer next.
