Storyboard
This is the
first part of our storyboard. The first six shots are mainly used to introduce our singer to the audience, using her in every shot.
Shot 1: This is an establishing shot of a classroom with a teacher standing at the front of the room next to a white board. By showing the teacher from the students perspective, its suggesting that this video will be following a student, therefore putting the audience in the youths shoes. The teacher will be writing a brainstorm about 'THE EFFECTS OF DRUGS' on her board.
Shot 2: This shot is a medium close up of our 'Lily' character. By showing this character first, it show the audience that she is the most important.
Shot 3-4: This is where the camera will zoom through the main characters eye, as if going into her brain symbolising that this story will be told through her eyes or it will about her.
Shot 5: In this shot, Lily will be walking down a high street which will have rubbish along the pavements and empty alcohol bottles to signify our overall theme of abuse. Filmed in a long shot.
Shot 6: This is just a filler shot, it will be used throughout the video, to add another location that creates a more urban,city feel. Lily will be standing in front of a dull,old brick wall while she is in her bright clothing. Filmed in a mid shot.
Shot 7: This is where Lily will leave this location and she walks to her next location which is walking past a group of teenagers smoking.
Part 2 of Storyboard Shot 8: A group of teenagers will be standing with their backs to the camera in a mid shot.
Shot 9: The camera will then cut to a wide shot as Lily walks across the screen from left to right.
Shot 10: "It just doesn't feel right" For these lyrics, the camera will cut to a close up of a young girl looking as if she is in pain.
Shot 11: In this next shot, it again is a long shot in the high street. Lily is now walking down a street surrounded by people smoking tormenting her. There is also numerous couples portraying promiscuity. Lily is confused and scared by this and so walks fast towards the camera.
Shot 12: This is a extreme close up of a couple kissing. This is uses to make the audience feel uncomfortable and awkward when watching. Using it to shock them.
Shot 13: " I get involved" For this shot, it is an a over the shoulder shot of a threatening looking man inviting with this hand to Lily.
Part 3 of Storyboard Shot 14: This is an extreme close up of a hand holding a pack of prescription drugs handing it over to a young feminine hand. We will make sure the female hand had nail varnish to help specify the gender in a quick shot.
Shot 15: Here a wide shot is used to show a mother standing in the kitchen shouting and looking worried towards the camera, as if the audience is now the girl.
Shot 16: It then cuts to a mid shot of Lily sitting on the worktop next to the mother. While the mother is crying, Lily continues to sing the lyrics to the song.
Shot 17: An over the shoulder shot is used again in this shot to show Lily opening the door of the kitchen and walking out.
Shot 18: "Why cant we all just be honest" Is sung during an extreme close up of Lily's lips.
Shot 19: This is a wide shot of two mature men sitting behind a voting table, representing politicians. This is going to be in sync with the lyrics "From grown politicians"
Part 4 of Storyboard Shot 20: A birds eye view shot is used here to show a group of teenagers (the same group as in shot 8 & 9) in a counselling class.
Shot 21: This shot is again in the high street in a long shot. Lily now starts running towards the camera.
Shot 22: Now back to the classroom. From a point of view shot, we see the teacher coming towards the end of her teachings. She will be rubbing off the writing on the board.
Shot 23: The camera will then pan round to Lily, who will be in a mid close up. Lily will my singing the lyrics "Everyone's At It" three times.
Shot 24: Now from an over the shoulder shot, the other student will start to leave.
Shot 25: Now back to a mid close up of Lily, smiling to herself and the camera then goes into a fade for the end of the song.
Amimatic
This is our animatic. We made this for two reasons. Our first being that as students, we had never used Final Cut Pro before and therefore it was good experience before we made our final video. Secondly, by putting the shots in time with the music, we would be able to see if our idea worked well together and discuss any changes that we might need to make to our ideas. I found making the animatic difficult because i had never used this software before and found all the different keys and tools confusing. After watching my teacher go through some of the simple tools, we managed as a group to put the different clips in some type of order. To make the animatic, we used a camera to take pictures of each of the individual shots on the storyboard. After uploading them into Final Cut Pro, we then dragged each picture onto the timeline, where we had already downloaded our song and put it on a different timeline. Then by using the 'cutting' tool from the selection to the far right, we cut each picture down to go in time to the song and its lyrics.
Shooting Script
My group decided that our video was going have a main character that mimed the lyrics in sync with the music. To help us organise what order the shot would be in, we drew a Shooting Script. This allowed us to make a brief outline of how we would sync the footage to the lyrics. For example, 0:26 - 0:55, Lily would be miming as if she was waking up, she would then turn to sit on the bed towards the camera and there would be a zoom into a close up on her face.
