Breakdown of song

In order to start storyboarding, I need to break down the song thoroughly, deconstructing the lyrics and sounds to get a better idea of the feel and rhythm of the song. Next I shall look at the images that might work in each part of the song.

Breakdown of Song

0:00- 0:36 Intro

Voice and clapping

Lyrics: There's a fire starting in my heart,

Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark.

Finally, I can see you crystal clear,

Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare,

See how I'll leave with every piece of you,

Don't underestimate the things that I will do.

There's a fire starting in my heart,

Reaching a fever pitch and it's bring me out the dark.
