fitting shots to the music ideas

ok group, sorry i was bored, and i was trying to think of a way we could fit all our shot ideas to the track. so i've been like listening to it over and over and like putting ideas into certain places? i'll list what my ideas are here and explain it properly in the next meeting. they're all our group shot ideas that we've discussed i've just been like finding an order for them if ya get me.

• So it starts with the fast make-up shots, CUs etc
• When the big beat kicks in i thought we could have a lift opening (an idea we mentioned ages ago) and as the doors open all the girls are posing in full costume.
• Now we have the running round the streets and the bus and stuff all going on, interspersed at this point with very short glimpses of trumpets playing, silhouettes of dancers, and maybe flashes of costume and bright colours.
• Then when the tune dies down and it just the drums (the music goes quite slow) i thought we could have Goli's big entrance (like the filthy gorgeous vid) where we show everyone watching her, CUs of their expressions, the movements are quite slow. But here we could use some voyeuristic shots of Goli, cutting up her body - eyes, tummy, shoes - as if from the POV of the people watching and scrutinising/admiring her. She then begins to dance a bit...
• And when the tune kicks in again everyone else joins in. Here we have the full on mercado party; loads of alcohol, dancing, people sitting looking cool, cocktails, people having fun.
• When the guy starts singing and the trumpets are gone i think we should have the choreographed dancing but all cut up. So we can have the girls dancing with goli, cut up with boys and girls doing ricky martin dancing, cut up with goli on her own dancing in her ZONE with projections, cut up with all the girls in their boudoir laughing (rehearsing maybe?). Use slow mo a bit here maybe?
• When it goes fast again she should run up onto the bar.

And that's where i stopped, there's still like a minute of the song to go though. but after/in between all that we need to have the glitter moments and the colours. there are actually some perfect moments for that but i cant remember where.
