First Music Video Storyboard

To be able to understand fully and create a clear image in my mind of what I want to happen in my music video, I decided to make a storyboard. The storyboard was just a quick way of making my ideas clear, I will later create a timeline where I will go into more detail of what shots I want at what time in the song. The storyboard does not have every shot that I want to use in my music video, I made it just to help me create a clear idea of the sort and type of shots that I wanted.

After making my storyboard, I needed to upload it as a film to vimeo so that I could put it on this blog. If I had just taken a picture of the A3 sheet, then the detail of what type of shot I had written at the top would not be seen. I decided to use Stop Motion ProV7, where I used a webcam to take pictures of each individual shot on the storyboard.

The basic idea for our music video, is to show happy flashbacks/memories of a relationship that the lead singer was once in. The artist will be in real time, in a woodland area with photos of the relationship surrounding her. She will look at one of these images and then the flashback will begin. I think this idea reflects the lyrics of the song well as the lyrics are in a happy and positive tone about a past relationship.
