Storyboard

In order for me and Ian to achieve a successful narrative based music video, we have produced a story board in which we hope to follow. As a result of creating a storyboard, me and Ian will have more of a clearer idea of how to shoot our video for 'You, Your Cat and me'.

These images of our storyboard which have been scanned in to a computer, show mine and Ian's first thoughts and decisions about the plot for our music video. The first 4 shots drawn in the first section of our storyboard will be filmed against a plain white backdrop in order to reflect the image we are planning to have as the cover of our Digipack. Although the storyboard shows 4 different shots which would presumably last around 4 seconds, me and Ian have made the decision to film each shot here from 3 separate angles in order to reveal the character's depth but also make the video more aesthetically pleasing for the audience. We believe this to be quite an effective approach to filming, although very time consuming. For most of the shots in our video, me and Ian will use a variety of different angles to establish the mood, setting and character with more depth, allowing the video to flow easier. When it comes to editing, me and Ian will use quick cuts when putting together the same shot from the separate angles, a technique used often within music videos.

The images within our storyboard shown above are merely first ideas and are most likely going to progress through more planning and experimenting, however we believe they create a solid foundation for beginning filming.
