Storyboard Completed: Upload

We have finished our storyboard only a few minutes ago. In doing this, we have listed the camera angle and positioning from where certain shots will be filmed. Also in certain sections, we have entailed the lyrics of the song in order to piece together when the camera shots should change onto the next etc.

It is possible that in the future, the group may decide to change the camera angle or even the sequencing of the video as there may be complications in filming and being able to link the different shots together. We want to make sure that we effectively portray the artists scandalous and care free nature in the video.

Meeting: Storyboard

We are currently having a meeting about our storyboard and how we are planning to start it. We are not sure on how we should begin the video as there are so many different, effective ways to portray the artist. We can not decide whether to start the video with a tracking shot of the artists feet or a point of view shot following the artist whilst breaking the 180 degree rule.

We finally decided to do the point of view shot following the artist whilst breaking the 180 degree rule. This was because of the image and persona that we wanted to create about the artist such as her being ruthless and doing as she pleases, linking to the idea of her breaking the 180 degree rule.

Finished lip syncing exercise:



As a group, we found the exercise challenging as it was hard at first as we did not know how to use the editing program. However, we soon found out how to use the program through our own research and therefore, we completed the video successfully. We now know how to use the program coherently when it comes to our real music video and we now also know the different features of what Final Cut can do, allowing us to enhance our ideas for our real music video.

Idea

Natasha D,


This is just an idea, as our theme is interrogation, I realised that the iconic scene in the James Bond movie with the guy in the seat with a cat would fit in nicely with our theme.
I thought we could have a girl version to make the artist seem intimidating. However, instead of a cat, we should have a dog, because small dogs are associated with women. We need to make sure that the artist is in a suit and a leather chair so that it is clear that we are using intertextuality.
We could use this is one of the later verses?
