Storyboarding

Over the past few weeks in our group, we have been creating a step by step guide on the lyrics sheet of ideas that we want to include in the music video. This enables us to keep our piece organised with ideas that we both want to be included in the video.

After finishing the step by step sheet, we began to make a rough version of our storyboard, saying which shots we wanted where. This took about two days to complete as it took us a while to draw the images and get the right points we wanted the shots. To make the piece flow during the narrative part, we have constructed a script for our two actors to perform and if this is performed well and we are able to see the lips move clearly, some members of the audience may be able to tell what the actors are saying.

Having completed the rough version of the storyboard, we have now begun to make the final version from the rough version; this will allow us to decide on the final ideas and then start to film.

We have taken a few ideas from existing videos such as close ups of the singer from Paramore's Crushcrushcrush. This seemed like a suitable idea as the singer of our piece is the star of our video and close ups would reinforce this in the audience's mind. I like this style of shot as you focus on just one member more than others but this could also cause conflict with other members within the band.

We have also used slow motion during parts of the narrative from You Me At Six's Finders Keepers as it exaggerates the feel of the particular scene. I like this effect as it adds more emotion to the video and the audience are able to understand it more as there is more emphasis on it.
