Planning- Story board

Over the recent holidays our group got together to plan our storyboard and discuss our filming plans. We also Spoke to our performer briefly about our plans and will keep in good contact with him through our mobiles, facebook and blogs.

We have done a story board to illustrate our ideas for the music video.

Here we want to illustrate the hustle and bustle of the night time, using a slow shutter speed to catch cars moving along the roads. We then want a car to move slowly towards the camera and have its headlights come on when the more dynamic part of the song kicks in. We then have crowds of people moving around perhaps in faster or slower motion but this will be changed in post production. We then want to have medium close ups and close ups of our lead singers face looking up at taller buildings to connote isolation and vulnerability.

Here we would like to film our main character walking around a city and looking at crowds of people to connote isolation and loneliness, we also want to film cars passing him and speeding up the footage to suggest time passing around him and how fast the world moves. We then want the actor to hold the camera as he walks and sings to have a hand-held haphazard approach.

We would like our performer to sit on the steps in front of a grand building such as the cathedral and sing, to connote his vulnerability again and then we would like to experiment with a small amount of tasteful stop motion on a high industrial car park.

We here want our performer in an Alley way , walking towards us, with a headlight behind him, to cause a silhouette effect and suggest a sense of mystery and an unguarded and unsafe atmosphere.
