Storyboard

Story boarding:

In our groups we started work on creating our storyboards for which we will use to give us guidelines to what we will film when it comes to making our music video. We discussed what type of shots would be used in order to create an interesting visual effect but also what shots are conventional to our chosen genre of 'Disco Pop.' We decided that close ups would be most popular in our video as this is what is most conventional and it reveals the facial expressions of the artist and actors seen in the video. It is key that the emotions are clearly shown to the audience as our concept is mostly based around the emotions and feelings of the people seen within the video. As well as this we wanted to have a diverse range of camera shots in our video such as birds eye and long shots which would be accompanied by a variety of camera movements such as crabs, tracks and tilts. By creating the storyboard it allowed us to piece the video together more easily as we had it right in front of us so then we could swap certain shots around and experiment with the order of the video. On the left are two images which shows me working and also the group as a whole working to create our storyboards.

Here are simple scans of our storyboards:

 

After completing our storyboard we took photo's of each shot and uploaded them onto final cut. From here we made an animatic to work out the timing and placement of the shots within the music video:
