Group : Concept Development

 Our storyboard so far consists of 34 frames in total. 15 of these frames consist of close up shots, which make up the meat of the music video, we have 9 varied angle shots and also 9 movement shots within the storyboard.

It is important in terms of our production that we incorperate a rangle of angles, distances and movements, due to the fact that we want out music video to be interesting, as well as having a number of creative aspects within the production. The variation in terms of the shots used will help us to create more of an artistic and innovative music video for our performance so it is significant that we ensure we have a good variety of shots within the production so that we can achieve a good grade overall.

 

These are the storyboards we have created for our production so far.
They consist of the main shots which are going to feature the artist for example the use of close ups and mid shots in order to show the artist lip singing, the narrative parts of the music production, as well as the 'filler shots' we are going to use in the music video. The 'filler shots' consist of aspects which are going to be used in a way that helps to amplify the lyrics on screen. For example when the lyrics reference a record we will reflect this on screen by showing a picture of a record playing.

This is a very useful aspects of our production and is vital in terms of planning. These storyboards are very useful as it gives us a good idea to what shots we are going to use within our production in order to cover the length of our track, so that when we do go out and start filming we will have significant information about what we are doing for each part of the song, and when it comes to editing, when putting our footage onto premier elements we will know which parts go where in terms of chronological order for the production on the timeline. Therefore in terms of filming and editing it is a very important aspects of preparation for our music video.

 Furthermore, this helps us to test our concept in terms of the outcome. For example storyboarding our ideas will give a good idea to what shots we can use in an effective way within our production. We can therefore consider how we are going to edit the footage for each shot in terms of the post production effects we may want to incorporate with them. Also an idea of what A grade shots we can film within our production to make them to the best of our ability and consider every shot in order to achieve more precision in our final outcome.

In terms of our group co operation, we decided to map out our storyboard very carefully considering each shot in detail to what camera movements we include, how the shots are frame and the angle of each of them. After discussing we did manage to agree that this is significant, due to the fact that in our previous experience of creating storyboards we did not spend as much time making them and using as many frames, so therefore this time it will allow us to have more structure and knowledge of our own concept.
