Plan for I Stop

You Belong With Me by Taylor Swift

This is my planning for my I Stop Motion. It has 5 scenes. It is based on the music video by Taylor Swift to the song You Belong With Me. It stars a girl and a boy who live next door to each other. The girl likes the boy but the boy is dating a ‘hot, cheerleader’ girl. This makes the girl sad and upset that she cannot be with him. Then, at the end, the girl changes into someone really pretty and goes to the prom and meets the boy there. They end up together. It will go for 1 minute and 15 seconds. It may go longer, depending on the amount of time I have left to submit it. Today I worked on my planning to get it spot on to what I want to do. This makes it easy to remember and read off when I am recording. I have changed a bit of the planning.

Scence 2: Show half the screen. One side of the ‘boy’ in the room. Other side of the ‘girl’ in the room. This goes for 2 seconds. They walk towards the window

'You're on the phone to your girlfriend, she's upset. She’s going off about something that you said. Cause she doesn't get your humour like i do.
