Blink-182 "I miss you"

0.00-0.05
The video opens on a wide angle low shot of a church/castle with lightning flashing in the background. The scene cuts to one of a statue then quickly to a ghostly looking woman who turns her head to the left to face away from the camera. The camera then cuts to two low medium close shots of her turning her head to look to the right. The entire scene is in lowkey lighting and the woman is very white against the dark backgrounds as if she is glowing.

0.05-0.10
The video cuts to a high shot of her running down some steps from behind, as she is going this we can see her holding up her skirt so she does not fall, the camera then cuts to a low shot facing her. As she is running we can notice her getting more and more transparent, it then cuts to a high behind shot again and she turns around before completely disappearing.

0.10-0.15
At 10 seconds the camera changes to a low wide angle shot of the band Blink-182 walking towards the camera. The camera then cuts to an eye-level close up of a woman behind some branches/a gate fence, then cuts back to the band but it is in an eye level view. It then has a quick cut to the ghostly woman looking from the right of the screen to the left, in an eye level close up shot. The last shot in this timeframe is a shot of one of the turrets on the castle.

0.15-0.20
The first shot of this time frame is a wide angle low shot of the band performing within the castle. It cuts to a close-up shot of the guitarist and then goes to a shot of the second woman opening the gates to the castle, it is a close-up shot but pans up from her chest towards her face, before fading out to a different wide angle shot from behind.

0.20-0.25
This time opens up with a medium shot of the drummer, then cuts to the same low wide angle shot of the full band. For a brief moment, it cuts to a shot of a woman lying suggestively on a spiral staircase. The timeframe ends with a closer up shot of the band performing, a flash across the camera, and a shot of a man's feet.

0.25-0.30
The first shot is a close-up shot of a woman laying down, she has her eyes closed and looks quite peaceful, we later realise this is the same girl on the stairs. It then cuts to an extreme closeup of a woman's eye, she is looking away then she blinks and looks into the camera. The next shot is a middle shot of a cat, after this, it cuts back to the same staircase with the woman lying on it, but this time she is joined by another woman sitting next to her.

0.30-0.35
At 30 seconds the scene opens on the wide shot of the band performing. At this point, the singer starts to sing and it has a middle close low angle shot of him singing. It then cuts to a shot of the girl on the stairs, though she isn't on the stairs anymore she is on the right hand of the screen looking into the camera, in the background another shot of her fades into view. The last shot is a closer and higher angle shot of the band performing.

0.35-0.40
The first shot is of two women lounging on blankets and pillows. The video cuts in fade to an extreme closeup of the cat and quickly fades out again. The next show is a middle close up of one of the women lounging, she seems to have smeared makeup over her face. It cuts back to the band performing, focusing more on the singer.

0.40-0.45
Between 0.40 and 0.41 there is a transition effect where there is a fire which is half translucent over the two shots. The video goes back to a wide shot of the two women lounging, then a shot of the cat walking away which has been slowed down a little bit. It then cuts to the band again but it is now an eye level shot. The last shots show a closer perspective of the women lounging and the end of the cat running away.

0.45-0.50
This time opens on an extreme closeup of the singer, this then cuts to a close up of him singing. The next shot is the original low wide angle shot of the band performing. The last shot shows a woman in some water, this show has lowkey lighting.

0.50-0.55
At 0.51 there is a high angle shot of a woman laying similarly to the staircase woman, it then cuts to a shot of the woman in the water again, then cuts back to the woman from the shot before but it is an extreme closeup of her face. It then cuts to a closeup of the drummer and cuts to middle eye level show of a woman.

 0.55-1.00
This timeframe opens on the band performing again but focuses more on the singer, giving multiple close up shots of his face but eventually going back to the wide angle eye level shot. Next, it has a shot of what seems to be a pond, it then shows a woman walking into and through the water.

1.00-1.05
This time opens on the woman walking through the water, it cuts to a blurry shot of some roses, which fade out to show her begin to swim in the pool. The next shot is then a rose floating in the water.

1.05-1.10
The video goes to closeups of the singer which fade in and out over each other, then cuts to a shot of the woman floating in the water. It then shows a head of a rose floating to the top of the water. Then it cuts back to the shot of her floating, this connotates to the idea of suicide

1.10-1.15
At 1.10 it opens on the low wide angle shot of the band performing with middle shows of the drummer and guitarists before cutting to a shot of the rose floating to the top of the water, and staying there.
