G7: Storyboard and Anamatic

This is the storyboard for our music video. We have decided the locations for each part of the video and have thought about types of shots we are going to include as well as how we are going to edit the video and interesting ways to go between parts of the narrative and the performance.

To ensure that we will have enough footage to last our track, we made an anamatic using the pictures from our storyboard. Whilst doing this, we thought about the cutting rate and the different types of shots we would have to include for both the performance and narrative. This also helped when writing the call sheet for our shoots over half term.

This is our anamatic:

• To produce the animatic, we scanned each shot we had drawn out for the storyboard into the computer. Beofe putting it together, we listened to the song to decide which shots of the performance or narrative we wanted to use for each part of the song. We then used Premeiere to edit the shots together in a similar way that we are planning to do our music video.
• As we were only putting pictures in the animatic, we could not show the camera movement or the transistions we were planning to include in our final video. For this reason, our animatic shows several long shots of the band members which will include movement in our real video.
• As our music video is longer than the film opening at AS we had to think of more shot ideas to fill the whole song. This included the shots we wanted to include in the performance as well as the narrative. We also have a faster cutting rate in the music video than the film opening meaning we had to come up with more ideas for shots in both sections of the narrative.
• After completeing the animatic, we realised that we would have to ensure that we include a lot of movement in our shots. The longer shots we plan to include movement in, such as panning or zooming in or out, looked boring in the animatic as we could not add movement. These emphasised the face that we will need to include enough movement in these shots. While editing the animatic, I also realised how important it is to keep a relationship between the music and visuals, such as having the cutting rate in time with the music and changing to suit how the song sounds.
• When shooting our video, we are going to think about our animatic and which aspects of it worked well, for example, we will decide whether we want the same amount of narrative and performance as we put in the animatic. We will also think about the variation of shot types and sizes we will want to include in our music video when filming which we have not always shown in the animatic.
