Anotated Lyrics

Annotating my song lyrics was good as it helped to get a better idea of which parts of the song I wanted to be for my narrative and perfomance. It also helped me to develope and explore what ideas I did have. Furthermore after looking at Andrew Goodwin's theory I decided that I wanted to take this theory and incorporate it into my video, this resulted in me deciding that wherever  possible I will include a relationship between the lyrics and the visuals.

Usher-Smile Again

                                                          Oh ooh yeah ah oh yeah- establishing shot (standing on stage)

La La La La La La La
Smile again

                                     cross cut to park scene (mid shot )- Just smile again
                                                                                       I'll always be there for you- cross cut to basketball scene

                                      cross cut to street scene- What can I do to make you smile again
                                                                                              Just smile again-cross cut to stage scene (close up shot)

I'd like to know what's on your mind- basketball scene/long shot

Because I see you crying all the time-cross cut to girl walking past 

I don't understand- close up of 'Usher' staring after girl 

Who'd wanna hurt your heart like this and

Cause you so much pain- close up of girl, plain background 

Here's my shoulder
Stage scene- You can lean on me
Stage scene- I wanna see you happy  

(I want to see you happy-stage scene (backing singers)

Why not just let me make you smile again)- stage scene (backing singers)

             park scene (establishing shot)- Smile again

        cross cut of girl walking past- Just smile again

over the shoulder of two looking at eachother-I'll always be there for you

What can I do to make you smile again

Just smile again

Just wanna see you smile

How can I erease the pain you feel

close up of girl, plain background-What can I do to the tears away

Baby talk to me

You say he's hurt you many times-close up of girl,plain background

But now that's over let me take his place

Your problems I'll erase

You need someone that you can depend on

 To brighten up every day (every day) oh yeah -stage scene (backing scene)

street scene (establishing shot)- I am the one that you are searchin' for

   cross cutting to girl walking past-And all you have to do is

      close up of looking at eachother-Smile again for me yeah

(Smile again for me)       -stage scene (backing singers)

Let me be the one

Let me be the pne to make you smile

Smile again

Just smile again

stage scene- Let me love you

I can show you

Just what it means to me
Please smile for me

I wanna see you happy- closing/over the shoulder shot: 'usher'

bows his head and the girl walks in

surrounded in light but 'usher' dont see

                                                                                              her and then fades out
