Ideas For Michael Buble - 'Haven't Met You Yet'

The Lyrics
I'm not surprised
Not everything lasts
Have broken my heart so many times
I stopped keeping track
Talk myself in
I talk myself out
I get all worked up
Then I let myself down

I tried so very hard not to lose it
I came up with a million excuses
I thought of every possibility

And I know someday that it'll all turn out
You'll make me work so we can work to work it out
And I promise you kid that I'll give so much more than I get
I just haven't met you yet

Mmmmmm

I might have to wait
I'll never give up
I guess it's half time
And the other half's luck
Wherever you are
Whenever it's right
You come out of nowhere and into my life

And I know that we can be so amazing
And baby your love is gonna change me
And now I can see every possibility

Mmmmmm

And somehow I know that it will all turn out
And you'll make me work so we can work to work it out
And I promise you kid I'll give so much more than I get
I just haven't met you yet

They say all's fair
And in love and war
But I won't need to fight it
We'll get it right
To be united

And I know that we can be so amazing
And being in your life is gonna change me
And now I can see every possibility

Mmmmmm

And someday I know it'll all turn out
And I'll work to work it out
Promise you kid I'll give you much more than I get
Yeah I just haven't met you yet

I just haven't met you yet
Oh promise you kid
To give so much more than I get

I said love love love love love love love
I just haven't met you yet
Love love love
I just haven't met you yet



Brief Outline Of The Plot Of The Official Video
-Setting the scene - stereotypical supermarket things shown (outside, fruit, trolley wheels, checkout, price labels, trolley with food added) - in abstract close-ups
-Him shopping - walking down the aisle with the trolley
Shot of both him and the woman, but at different areas in the aisle, establishing shot. Reinforces the audience's understanding that they haven't noticed each other
-Over the shoulder shot of her - this shows that she looks up and notices him, smiles and seems interested
-He sees her - looks surprised and interested himself
-The lights flicker
-It goes into his dream/imagination of them both together
-He imagines them walking along the top of the fridges walking toward one another

It's roughly 3 minutes until the video goes back to reality

-We see him at the checkout
-He walks past her in exiting the supermarket, but she does not notice him. He looks confused

Ideas Of Locations
- London (including the London Eye and other monuments)
- Greenwich Park
- Greenhithe
- Waterfall in Trafalgar Square


Ideas
'I just haven't met you yet' - shows that they don't know each other so could show them walking past each other without any kind of communication or recognition
'You come out of nowhere and into my life' - could look at each other or, she walks around a corner and then towards him
'And I know that we can be so amazing' - AND then she walks past him
'And now I can see every possibility' - imagining how they could be together. Flash of a picture inside his head
'They say all's fair and in love and war - in a bar and she gives her number to another man, and he is across the bar with his friends, watching
Last Line - 'I just haven't met you yet' - she looks up at him from what she's doing, and smiles as he walks past
