Lyrics and Shots

The song I have chosen for my music video production is a cover of 'I was made for loving you' by Madilyn Bailey.
Verse 1
Instrumental Introduction: Synchronous to the soundtrack the visuals will be an close up side angle view denoting the artist playing the piano- this shot will also have overlay shots of archive footage of the two lovers.
'A dangerous plan, just in time': The visuals will be a mid shot of the two characters in London ( with a deep depth of field). The over lays of this shot will be of the artist singing (parallel and synchronous to the lyrics) and a studio shot of the artist moving her hand to the side.
'A stranger's hand clutched in mine': The main focus shot will be a extreme close up of the two characters holding hands with a sun glare into the camera, this will be overlaid with an close up of the artist closing her hand- synchronous with the lyric 'clutched'.
'I'll take this chance...': Footage of a long shot (use a tripod for the steadiness) of the two characters; the male spinning around the female.
'...so called me blind': the previous shot continued, however a overlaid shot of the artist's eyes closing in slow motion.
'I've been waiting all my life': Three different shots/scenes overlaid (the artist is wearing different outfits but denoted doing the same in each) this connotes a sense of time moving on.
'Please don't scar this young heart': Performance shot, either in the studio with a black ground or in the forest with the fog ascending behind them.
'Just take my hand': Previous shot duplicated in this line, where as the artist sings, 'hand' she reaches her hand towards. Also with the overlaid shot of the two character's hands reaching for each other.
Chorus
'I was made for loving you': Archive footage filmed by the characters signifies as memories, the artist laughing
'Even though we may be hopeless hearts just passing through': The previous shot continued with an overlay shot of the artist In the studio.
'Every bone screaming I don't know what we should do': Performance: in front of the fog as it is ascending.
'All I know is, darling, I was made for loving you' : Again the same type of performance shot seen previously, with the over lay of archive footage (of the artist taking a polaroid photo toward the camera POV)
Verse 2

'Hold me close..': Extreme close up or close up of the characters hugs as the male protagonist wraps them around the artists.
'...through the night....Don't let go, we'll be alright': Archive footage of the two character messing around and filming each other- connotes as memories.
'Touch my soul and hold it tight': Performance shot, in the studio with the black background match on action with the synchronous with the words 'touch' and 'hold'.
'I've been waiting all my life, I won't scar your young heart'; Archive shots with the traditional black and white camera (hand held).
'Just take my hand': synchronous and parallel the two characters reaching out to hold hands.
Chorus
'I was made for loving you, 'Even though we may be hopeless hearts just passing through': Archive footage of the male filming the female, where she makes a heart sign, parallel to the lyrics.
'Every bone screaming I don't know what we should do, All I know is, darling, I was made for loving you': Performance shots in the white studio with the projected image behind her. Alongside overlaid match on action shots.
Bridge
'Please don't go, I've been waiting so long, oh, you don't even know me at all': Performance shots, either the fog, studio or projected with overlaid shots of archive footage with the polaroid camera.
'But I was made for loving you': Performance shot, overlaid with archive footage of the two characters happy. 
Chorus
'I was made for loving you, Even though we may be hopeless hearts just passing through': Performance shots in the studio with projector or just the studio. 
'Every bone screaming I don't know what we should do, All I know is, darling, I was made for loving you': A montage shot of different stages of archive footage with the character.
Outro [Ending scene]: Either a pan out of a tree with cravings of the couples names or a long shot of the couple walking away together- both endings will fade to a black screen.
