Lyrics + Narrative arc sections

Section 1 -   
Set - Dining room/kitchen with dining table
Low key lighting, darker clothes. Props - laid table, food
few, long shots. Little/slow movement of characters and camera
Actors - Main char - young adult girl, upset expression, lip syncs *most* lyrics
       - 2 other characters - parents (?) duller clothes, dont stand out too much. One lip syncs lyric "Why aren't you eating"

Cornered at the table with a plate with food on that you hate, don't know how to escape. 
Stand up from the table
every evening they say "why aren't you eating?" There is no reason.  

Section 2 - 
Set - Bathroom
Low key lighting, same clothes as before. Prop- mobile phone 
Few long shots, no movement of character, camera slow pans and zooms
Actors - Main Char - On floor, crying, holding phone

Lie in the bathroom staring up at the ceiling
Trying hard to believe in a heart that's not beating
She said "come back", he said "stop crying, girl I am trying to love you."
 
Set - same bathroom
Slightly brighter lighting, still fairly low key. 
Shorter takes, faster movement, a bit more energetic
Actors - Main char - more violent/angry expression, lip sync

Why did you bring it all back up? Are you trying to remind me of the past? 
Don't say there is no feeling, I know you're concealing something that's healing.
 
Section 3 - 
Set - bedroom
High key lighting, more vivid colour. props- clothing, bag, other luggage
short takes, lots of movement, more energy and camera movement
Actors - Main char - packing clothing etc.

You hear the voices in your head try control you, that's a feeling too.
You see the scars hide on my arms, they're my feelings. That's just how I deal with things. 
 
Set - Outside building
High key lighting, same clothes from previous. prop - bag with luggage 
Fast pace, longer takes, lots of camera movement
Actors - Main char - walking fast down street, lip syncing, holding bag.
 
Pounding on the ground, you feel your feet in your head
your heart in your throat, like it's trying to choke. 
Can't go back you've got to stay out late, running with love and hate, running until you faint.   
 
Section 4 -  
Set - Grass field, night
Low key lighting, night time. Props -
long takes, camera angle from above(?) mostly. little or no movement of either camera or actor. 

Lie on the grass, staring up at the starlight 
Trying not to ?? unto the darkness you can't fight. 
And when the sunlight blinds the night you can think of only his eyes. 
 
You hear the voices in your head try control you, that's a feeling too.
You see the scars hide on my arms, they're my feelings. That's just how I deal with things. 
  
 
Section 5 - 
Set - Street in village, early morning
High key lighting, props - bag with luggage
Short takes, lots of movement from both actor and camera
 
You see the sick there in your head, that's a feeling, that's a feeling too. 
You see the scars hide on my arms they're my feelings, that's just how I deal with things. 
 
You hear the voices in your head try control you, that's a feeling too.
You see the scars hide on my arms, they're my feelings. That's just how I deal with things.
