Rachel Platten - Fight Song

Fight Song

The opening shot is of a lady with her hair covering her face holding a railing. It then cuts to her laying on her bed with a book and balls of paper where she starts singing. It is clear she seems disorganised. The lighting is a somber blue hue. It then cuts to her looking upset at a piano and she writes something down on a notepad. The camera cuts to a close up of her writing. However, you don't see what she wrote down but its clear she is agitated. It cuts back to where she was to begin with. Then to a shot through the shower screen to see her sinking down and crying. The camera now is angled down looking at her sitting. The cuts get faster to show her dismay at the piano. The camera is getting further away from her and looking at her around corners or door frames as if we're spying on her. The camera cuts to just her hands gripping a sink. We then see between different cuts that she is setting up on a stage. Then once the chorus kicks in we have a close up of her face singing powerfully. We then see cuts between her at her house obviously depressed and down to her empowering singing on stage. We now start seeing cuts between her performing to now what appears to be getting her life back together. There are lots of cuts to different scenes. Now you see close ups of her smiling and laughing. Also exploring life and the world. Now there are shots looking up at her rather than down. And shes now happy. Then it cuts to different people with mutual faces or flexing but they're empowered by the angle of the camera, since the camera is looking up slightly at them. Panning shots of her on the beach then cuts to people around a bonfire. At the end the camera fades out with the music.
