Storyboard

This is a preliminary sketch for our storyboard. It outlines some of the key shots and themes that we aim to include in our music video.

1) This is the opening shot that we aim to use. It is a sped up shot that tracks down the stairs into the cellar and continues to track round the corner to the main performance area of the cellar. The shot will roughly last for 6 seconds and will be a mid shot.

2) This is the main position that our band will be set up in. It is a long shot of the 3 members of the band with the singer, Jack, infront of the beam in the centre of the cellar, the bassist, Matt, to the left hand side of the shot, and the keyboardist, Theo, located at the back-right of the shot.

3) Due to our access to laser equipment and a smoke machine, we have decided (from tests with this equipment) to try and use a shot similar to this shot as we feel that it is suitable for our music in the context of our video. This is a shot that can be used during lead guitar intrumental sections of the song as it highlights the guitar.

4) This topless figure (Dom) is a recurring theme throughout our video as it tells a narrative that is connected to the lyrics of the song. Each shot of Dom will show him in a new stage of the story and will only last a couple of seconds at a time and will be sped up. Due to the narrative being uses, there will be a variety of shot types from extreme-close-up, to long shot.

5) This low angle mid-shot of individual members of the band performing is a shot that we expect to use in our video. They will last 1-3 seconds each.

6) This shot is a piece of stock footage of a building collapsing that we plan to use in our video to relate to our narrative. It is a long-shot and will be sped up.
