Lyric Breakdown

[verse 1]
Rawr! Rawr! 0.03 – 0.07 seconds
I have a heart, I swear I do 0.08 – 0.09 seconds
But just not, baby, when it comes to you 0.09 – 0.10 seconds
I get so hungry when you say you love me 0.11 – 0.12 seconds
Hush if you know what's good for you 0.13 – 0.14 seconds
I think you're hot, I think you're cool 0.15 – 0.16 seconds
You're the kind of guy I'd stalk in school 0.17 – 0.18 seconds
But now that I'm famous, you're up my anus 0.19 -0.20 seconds
Now I'm gonna eat you, fool! 0.21 - 0.22 seconds

In the first part of the video the camera will change from a tracking shot showing a deserted area with leaves blowing across the floor to an extreme long shot which will appear to be a dead body covered in blood on the floor, Emily will then be positioned over the body with her back to the camera and then turn round to face the camera (this is when the beginning of the song starts and she will say RAWR!) with blood all around her mouth suggesting that she has been attacking the body, a disorted and uneasy haze will be edited into the scene to add a slight horror element and make the audience feel uncomfortable. She will also be wearing white contacts to make her look as though she is slightly demented. The body, which viewers will assume has been attacked, will then be demanded by the main character to stand up while she circulates him with he’s gaze constantly upon her. Various gestures are used to show her dominating and enticing emotion for example clawing the male character and also sniffing him because she is a cannibal blood is the main element that she is attracted too in humans. The creepy theme of the video will be kept throughout the characters gestures being quick head to hand movements to make her look un human like. Then she will say the line “now I’m going to eat you fool” and at this part of the video it suddenly cuts to another scene. The next time you see the male character he will be running away.

[chorus]
I eat boys up 0.22 – 0.23 seconds
Breakfast and lunch 0.24 – 0.25 seconds
Then, when I'm thirsty, I drink their blood 0.26 – 0.29 seconds
Carnivore, animal, I am a cannibal 0.30 – 0.33 seconds
I eat boys up 0.34 – 0.35 seconds
You better run 0.36 – 0.37 seconds
I am cannibal! (Cannibal, cannibal, I am!) 0.38 – 0.44 seconds
I am cannibal! (Cannibal! I'll eat you up!) 0.45 – 0.51 seconds
I am cannibal! (Cannibal, cannibal, I am!) 0.52 – 0.58 seconds
I am cannibal! (Cannibal! I'll eat you up!) 0.59 – 1.05 seconds

This part of the song focuses on the main character in various positions while her mental stage takes over, she will be doing lots of distorted head movements and we will make each shot look like there tripping to make it look believable. There will also be various shots of different “victims” that the main character will have attacked. Eg strangled, drowned, eaten etc.
She is oblivious to the camera throughout the full video but the line “you better run” from the chorus she wants to include the audience as if they have entered her personal space and it’s spoken directly to them because she wants them to understand. Then the camera quickly diverts to the male character running away from the main character as he thinks he is now free, throughout the continuous I am cannibal! lyrics it will flip from the male character running away, then to the main character who is playing with the animal heart which she is really fond of which you can tell by the amount of shots we use showing her squeezing the blood onto herself and because its one element of a cannibal that is always linked so she begins to rub the blood into her body because she wants to remise the feeling. Then the camera skips back to the male character running away now looking behind him, as he is scared that she is coming after him.

[verse 2]
Whenever you tell me I'm pretty 1.07 – 1.08 seconds
That's when the hunger really hits me 1.08 – 1.09 seconds
Your little heart goes pitter patter 1.10 – 1.12 seconds
I want your liver on a platter 1.12 – 1.14 seconds
Use your finger to stir my tea 1.14 – 1.15 seconds
Then, for dessert, I'll suck your teeth 1.16 – 1.17 seconds
Be too sweet and you'll be a goner 1.18 – 1.19 seconds
Yep, I'll pull a Jeffrey Dahmer 1.20 – 1.21 seconds

This section of the video will be all about the main character in a
secluded place, this is where she feels free and can be herself. In this section she will be positioned behind metal bars, which will protect her from the outside world, various different distorted and disjointed positions will be used to make her look mental and out of control and make the audience feel uncomfortable while viewing because we are contradicting the conventions linked to a cannibal by using gestures telling them to come towards her they would obviously do the opposite as it wouldn’t be safe.

[chorus]
I eat boys up 1.21 – 1.23 seconds
Breakfast and lunch 1.23-1.24 seconds
Then, when I'm thirsty, I drink their blood 1.25 – 1.28 seconds
Carnivore, animal, I am a cannibal 1.29 – 1.32 seconds
I eat boys up 1.33 – 1.34 seconds
You better run 1.35 – 1.36 seconds
I am cannibal! (Cannibal, cannibal, I am!) 1.37 – 1.43 seconds
I am cannibal! (Cannibal! I'll eat you up!) 1.44 – 1.50 seconds
I am cannibal! (Cannibal, cannibal, I am!) 1.51 – 1.57 seconds
I am cannibal! (Cannibal! I'll eat you up!) 1.58 – 2.05 seconds

The main character will be crawling towards the camera with the victims following behind, she will have a sharp focus by walking to the beat and because she has already attacked them they will look slightly weak and disjointed to add to the scary element. They will then begin to run away in different directions away from her so she doesn’t catch up to them, what they don’t know is that she doesn’t have any intention of moving as she is reminiscing the time that she attacked them all so she will be rolling around the ground with blood fresh on her skin. A dance scene will then follow on from this section with them doing a “thriller” inspired dance routine. The main character however will be doing different moves compared to the backing dancers, as she is the most important person included in the video.

Oh-whoa-whoa-oh! 2.06 – 2.08 seconds
Oh-whoa-whoa-oh-oh! 2.09 - 2.12 seconds
Oh-whoa-whoa-oh! 2.13 – 2.16 seconds
Oh-whoa-whoa-oh-oh! 2.17 - 2.20 seconds
Oh-whoa-whoa-oh! 2.21 - 2.23 seconds
Oh-whoa-whoa-oh-oh! 2.24 - 2.27 seconds
Oh-whoa-whoa-oh! 2.28 – 2.31 seconds
Oh-whoa-whoa-oh-oh! 2.32 – 2.35 seconds

This part of the song will include various montage of the main character in the three different locations we have used, but it will be showing her having a good time by throwing her body around and creating disjointed effects through her body shapes but also sexual poses so that she still appeals to the male audience. This goes against the cannibal nature of the character and shows that she is just a normal girl behind it.

I am cannibal! (Cannibal, cannibal, I am!) 2.36 – 2.42 seconds
I am cannibal! (Cannibal! I'll eat you up!) 2.43 – 2.49 seconds
I am cannibal! (Cannibal, cannibal, I am!) 2.50 – 2.57 seconds
I am cannibal! (Cannibal! I'll eat you up!) 2.58 – 3.04 seconds

The dancers will again be included in this scene as they will be miming this section together before then picking her up showing that she is still the main focus and the dominating one.

I love you 3.06 – 3.07 seconds
I warned you 3.10 – 3.11 seconds
Rawr! 3.11 – 3.12 seconds

This scene will contain both the main character and the male character, there will mainly be close ups shots used as she is explaining each line of this verse write into he’s face so he understands and it will then suddenly flick to the main character clawing the screen on the final lyric “rawr” concluding the video.
