A rough storyboard.

We wrote up a rough storyboard as a group to give us a basic idea of what we wanted to do with our music video and how we wanted it to lead from one shot to another, giving us some ideas once we decided to film what we need to do and what we still need to do if we miss anything.

A rough shot list.

This is just a rough shot list that our group wrote up to give us some idea of how to film our performance shots and some of our narrative shots. The performance shots especially needed some rough planning as we have to film each from a different angle to help the music video have variety throughout the video so the audience don't get bored with the same old shot everytime.

Location shots

Location shots

I studied the music video for our song carefully and looked at the locations they used throughout the music video to help give us a good idea of what sort of locations and how many we needed in our music video. Throughout the presentation above we can see that I have analyzed a few shots from the music video against photos we have taken to show exactly what we are going to do throughout our music video. This helps give us an idea of what locations we are going to use and what the story line is and how we are going to angle the camera throughout.
