Scene 1: Dark Fantasy
(00:00 - 04:40)
In the first few establishing shots of the film we see Mr West playing the character "Griffin" driving his car through the woods which come to play later in the film. A combination of hard colour correction filled with cinematic scenes of a meteor like object crashing down onto the planet through the clouds into Griffin's car making him crash.

Scene 2: Gorgeous
(04:40 - 05:57)
She travels around Griffin's backyard spending time with the life around her even though the walls are trapped around her so she can't see outside. Studying each animal and learning her way around the garden before there is a abrupt cut into the next scene.

Scene 3: Power (Remix)
(05:58 - 07:31)
After the Phoenix crashes into the planet, Griffin decides to play her "Power" to reinvigorate her after the injuries of the crash; the same way that the track does the same for him giving strength into his career.

Scene 4: All of the Lights
(07:32 - 10:28)
A young leader of a generation takes to celebrate the joy of life and the talent that music can create, with subtle touches of darkness at every turn. A cinematic experience of all the lights and camera of paparazzi and fire works is filled with a symbolic event for Griffin and the Phoenix.
