Timeline of our video

In our group, we all created a rough timeline of how the video will be structured in the song. We listened to the song and nitpicked the different sections. We constructed a timeline of what we would want at the different sections.




The table below was created by Amr.

(We start at 0. 15 because the song intro is too long.)
