Storyboards

To work out the timings of our music video, to serve as a reminder to us of what specific shots to shoot and to give our actors a general idea of what we want them to do, we made a storyboard.

  Wanda put the effort into drawing the Post-Its because of her artistic abilities but we had all previously worked out generally what we wanted to happen and when.

 The storyboard currently has considerably more shots of the narrative than the performance, this is because most of the performance shots will be repeated and also, it's not too much of a priority because our narrative shoot is in a week's time.

In further preparation for the narrative shoot, in pairs we went around London to film a reccie. When we got back to school, Dom spent a week overcoming technical problems to edit the footage into this.


We made this video because:

• We didn't know which shots we could actually get without visiting the location again.
• It's considerably clearer than the storyboard for us and the actors.
• Any of us can watch it outside of school to remind ourselves of what needs to be shot.
