Inspiration - Kesha; Take it off

This video by Kesha has inspired us to use glow paints as an effect as on it you can see by these screen grabs the paint being thrown about and i think that this will look good in our music video to show the hurt of each character and by throwing paint round etc... will relieve the stress that they are under and then will be able to see each characters personality by the colour of the paint that they throw. For example if one character throws red paint, then it will show that she needs love in her life or maybe has occurred heartbreak in her life which is brought out by the paint colour red.

Risk Assessment

When filming our music video we will all have to consider the risks involved before filming it. For instance, when we are first on the beach we will have to make sure the tide doesn’t look like its going to come in and we will have to make sure that wherever we lay down there isn’t any glass etc… that we could cut ourselves on. Also we will have to walk around the areas of Seaton that we are shooting in and make sure there is nothing in our way that we could fall or trip over. As we are filming in the surroundings of sand dunes and car parks also, we will have to walk round the area before we start to make sure there isn’t any logs or twigs that we could fall over as we run onto the beach in our video, this will make us be aware of our surroundings and the dangers we may face if we don’t plan out our sequence’s properly. As we are making a fire for our music video when we are in the sand dunes, we will have to be careful that it doesn't get out of control or over the top that we can't handle it, as this will be dangerous.We will also have to watch out for each other when filming, as we won’t want the person who is filming being knocked over by one of the actors and then damaging the camera equipment. We will have to plan out were the person who is filming is going to stand after every shot to make the shooting and running of it flow into each scene of the music video, so we make it look as professional as possible.

Breakdown of lyrics

Instrumental (0-1:00)



My skin is like a map, of where my heart has been (0.58-1:04)
And I can’t hide the marks, but it’s not a negative thing (1:06-1:11)
So I let down my guard, drop my defenses, down by my clothes (1:12-1:18)
I’m learning to fall, with no safety net, to cushion the blow (1:19-1:25)

I’ve found your finger prints on a glass of wine (1:29-1:33)
Do you know you’re leaving them all over this heart of mine too (1:36-1:41)
But if I never take this leap of faith I’ll never know (1:42-1:48)
So I’m learning to fall with no safety net to cushion the blow (1:49-1:55)

I bruise easily, so be gentle when you handle me (1:56-2:02)
There’s a mark you leave, like a love heart carved on a tree (2:03-2:10)
I bruise easily, can’t scratch the surface without moving me (2:11-2:17)
Underneath I bruise easily, I bruise easily (2:18-2:25)


My skin is like a map, of where my heart has been (2:27-2:32)
And I can’t hide the marks, but it’s not a negative thing (2:34-2:39)
But if I never take this leap of faith I’ll never know (2:41-2:47)
So I’m learning to fall, with no safety net, to cushion the blow (2:48-2:54)

I bruise easily, so be gentle when you handle me (2:54-3:01)
There’s a mark you leave, like a love heart, carved on a tree (3:02-3:08)
I bruise easily, can’t scratch the surface without moving me (3:09-3:16)
Underneath I bruise easily, (3:17-3:20)

I bruise easily, so be gentle when you handle me (3:24-3:30)
There’s a mark you leave, like a love heart, carved on a tree (3:31-3:37)
I bruise easily, can’t scratch the surface without moving me (3:38-3:45)
Underneath I bruise easily, I bruise easily (3:46-3:50)

I bruise easily (3:50-3:54)


I bruise easily, so be gentle when you handle me (3:54-4:00)
There’s a mark you leave, like a love heart, carved on a tree (4:01-4:07)
I bruise easily, can’t scratch the surface without moving me (4:08-4:14)
Underneath I bruise easily, (4:15-4:19)
I bruise easily (4:20-4:22)

I bruise easily, so be gentle when you handle me (4:23-4:29)
There’s a mark you leave, like a love heart, carved on a tree (4:30-4:36)
I bruise easily, can’t scratch the surface without moving me (4:37-4:43)
Underneath I bruise easily, (4:44-4:48)
I bruise easily (4:49-4:51)

Instrumental (4:52-5:54)

As there is a lot of remixes to this song we have chosen a remix within a remix, so it was hard to find the exact timings out as some of the words have also changed within this version. We have tried to get the timings as accurately as we can, as there is a 2 minute instrumental piece at the beginning and the end of the song, where here we can add our flashbacks in when we create our video.

Initial ideas

Different version of our song

We looked for different versions of the song for bruised water, and we decided to use this one as it is faster and more up beat and has a longer beginning so we could include our flash backs at the beginning for the first minute.

Audience profile

The audience for our music video is going to be teenagers as that is the age group of the type of trance genre is aimed at, as teenagers like quite up beat fast pace music and thats what 'bruised water' is like. We are going to aim our music video towards teenagers by using the setting as a beach as we think this is a place were teenagers can relate to and most likely go to. The teenage age is around 13-19 so as a bigger age range we need to think carefully about not making our video too young or too old.
