Beautiful Liar

Andrea and I took advantage of our free time to do some more valuable research in order to gain a wide range of interesting ideas for our music video. We watched many music videos from different genres and looked closely at the cinematography used in order gain more knowledge about the different types of camera angles, shots and movements that are available for us to experiment with.

For the past two weeks we have been on top of things as we have already made notes and plans for our music video. We are going to try all of our ideas and see what works out best. Once i have made our final plan i will put a photo up of it on my blog to show you all the ideas we have come up with. Due to the fact that both Andrea and I want to play a part in the music video we decided to look for songs with two female singers in it. After a lot of research we have found a song that we are currently thinking to do. I believe that the song we have chosen doesn't have a great music video which gives me more of a reason to make a music video for it because we both have really good ideas for it.

To start off we watched the music video together a couple of times then made notes of our ideas and then we searched for the lyrics, read threw it a few times and made more notes. Reading the lyrics helped us quite a lot because the song made more sense to us and helped us to understand the message behing it. We both belive that we can make this music video better than the real one.

Here's the song we are planning to do:


Beautiful Liar Lyrics

Ay, Ay, Ay
Nobody likes being played
Beyonce, Beyonce
Shakira, Shakira (hey)

[Beyonce] He said I'm worth it, his one desire
[Shakira] I know things about 'em that you wouldn't wanna read about
[Beyonce] He kissed me, his one and only, (yes) beautiful Liar
[Shakira] Tell me how you tolerate the things that you just found out about

[Shakira] You never know
[Beyonce] Why are we the ones who suffer
[Shakira] I have to let go
[Beyonce] He won't be the one to cry

[Beyonce] (Ay) Let's not kill the karma
(Ay) Let's not start a fight
(Ay) It's not worth the drama
For a beautiful liar
[Shakira] Can't we laugh about it
(Oh) It's not worth our time
(Oh) We can live without 'em
Just a beautiful liar

[Shakira] I trusted him, but when I followed you, I saw you together
[Beyonce] I didn't know about you then 'till I saw you with him again
[Shakira] I walked in on your love scene, slow dancing
[Beyonce] You stole everything, how can you say I did you wrong

[Shakira] You never know
[Beyonce] When the pain and heartbreak's over
[Shakira] I have to let go
[Beyonce] The innocence is gone

[Beyonce] (Ay) Let's not kill the karma
(Ay) Let's not start a fight
(Ay) It's not worth the drama
For a beautiful liar
[Shakira] Can't we laugh about it
(Oh) It's not worth our time
(Oh) We can live without 'em
Just a beautiful liar

[Shakira] Tell me how to forgive you
When it's me who's ashamed
[Beyonce] And I wish could free you
Of the hurt and the pain
(Both) But the answer is simple
He's the one to blame

Beyonce, beyonce
Shakira, shakira

[Beyonce] (Ay) Let's not kill the karma
(Ay) Let's not start a fight
(Ay) It's not worth the drama
For a beautiful liar
[Shakira] Can't we laugh about it
(Oh) It's not worth our time
(Oh) We can live without 'em
Just a beautiful liar
