Glee - Don't Stop Believin' Lyrics

New Directions: Da, da, da, da... (Repeated until end of the song)

Finn: Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Rachel: Just a city boy, born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere

Finn: A singer in a smoky room
Rachel: A smell of wine and cheap perfume
Both: For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on <------- this is our cut off point as we only need to do up to 1 minute 15 seconds and this is the logical cut off point in the first half of the song.

Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night

Rachel: Workin' hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Both: Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Rachel: Some will win, some will lose
Both: Some are born to sing the blues
And oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people, livin' just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night

New Directions: Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight people

Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight people

Don't stop!

Introduction To The Music Video,Theory 2 - Carol Vernallis.

The four key concepts:
- Narrative
- Editing
- Camera Movement and Framing
- Diegesis

1) Narrative:
- The video is a visual response to the music
- There is not necessarily a balance between narrative and performance
- The narrative may be a partial, fragmented narrative
- The video may pose questions that it will not answer
- May be a running montage theme

2) Editing:
- Editing will match the musical phrase or the beat
- The video may break many of the 'rules' of continuity editing
- E.g. You may see - jump cuts, breaks of 180 degree rule and extreme jumps in time and space
- E.g You may not see - smooth transitions, match on action and an even pace throughout

3) Camera Movement and Framing:
- When it comes to shot types, extremes are very common
- The style of framing and movement are usually a continuing theme that is distinctive to that video/genre
- The master shot and close up shots are used frequently

4) Diegesis:
- The diegesis may be revealed slowly
- Characters may move to the music, E.g. dance sequences
- Some frames may be more important than others
- There may be gaps in the audience's understanding of the diegesis - in time, space, performance and narrative.
