"A CIGARETTE"
Ambient sound of an old bar. An old man lifts a cigarette to his mouth and lights it. He sets it down in his ashtray as smokes floats in the air. We cut to Shaylen sitting on a barstool up on the stage. She takes the microphone in her hands and the music starts.
We watch Shay in long takes of beautiful performance shots to the nearly empty bar. Various angles and cuts but paced for emotion.
The song ends and the sound fades back in. Shay walks off stage and back behind the bar.
Cut to black.
"JACK GETS ME SOBER"
The song opens on an old car in the early evening. The camera pushes through the passenger window where Shaylen is in the mirror finishing her makeup/hair in the flip down mirror. She performs the first verse into the mirror.
She gets out and starts walking as the chorus hits.. The rest of the video is a series of walking shots as Shay performs to camera, walking “through the city”. Turning corners, crossing streets. Purely visual vibe and personality. Straightforward walking beauty shots.
As the song ends she arrives and opens the door to a bar, disappearing inside. The camera sits outside.
Cut to black.
"ALL HAT NO COWBOY"
In-studio performance. A nod to 1990-2000’s country videos. Multiple lighting styles (bright, glam, spotlights, various colors) throughout will match the energy of the song and give us a change of pace after each chorus. Beauty looks and heavy attitude/performance from Shaylen.
Possibly have an actor come in and play the cowboy; a “prop”. Various outfits. Guitar players would be awesome but not necessary. Could make an obvious nod and have her perform standing in the bed of a massive lifted truck with spotlights swirling for added motion.
Cut to black.
"A GOOD GIRL GONE"
Shot with the intention of being black and white (post), we open on Shay lit by spotlight as she sings the first verse to camera. She turns around at :13 and begins walking away. She performs to camera and keeps walking slow and steady to the beat through the chorus. The camera pans and transitions to a black truck. Down the side we see a silhouette in a hat leaning against a car as he talks to Shaylen. Over his shoulder we see her sing the lyrics to him and then to camera.
At 1:23 we pan to a close-up of Shaylen against the dark. Haze surrounding her. The camera pans past and back to her at the truck. The guy moves in front of camera and we transition to black.
The chorus hits and we reveal Shaylen performing in front of the headlights of the truck behind her.
At 2:14 the lights start getting brighter and we see silhouettes of people raising their glasses in the foreground.
2:28 we kill the lights and see Shaylen in the dark, lit only by a soft spotlight but this time in blue. Headlights/spotlights come back in, this time a mix of blue and white. The camera movement is energetic and we end on Shaylen back in the camera where we started, changed. She turns around.
