Additional Ideas (Storyboard)

This is a picture of the storyboard that we our going to add in our music video.

These are still shots from our storyboard in closer view:

We have chosen to have this scene at the start of second chorus on the song. The first shot will be a close up shot of the female stood at the beach looking through the photos on her phone. Then one of the photos that she will see is from the party scene with her ex boyfriend having a good time. This relates back to the theme of being "heartbroken" as she remembers her past with him. We chose to do it from a high angle so the audience can see what she is looking at the phone. We decided to do it for 4 seconds because if we leave it for too long then the audience will get bored. The second shot will be a flashback of the party scene with her ex, this is the party that one of the photos she has got on the phone. It will be taken in long shot to show the location and the characters having fun and dancing around. It will have a black and white effect to show that it is part of the past memories.

The third shot is going to be a mid shot of the couple to show that they are together. Also we want the main characters to stand out to the audience eyes so they will focus on them more. We only have it for two seconds to show a quick shot of them being lively and happy. The next shot is going to be a close up shot of the female stood up on her own and looks like she is about to cry as we want to isolate her from other people. Also we did it this way to show to our audience how sad and melancholic she is. By doind this, it will help the viewers to identify and recognise her situation and it will make them sympathise on her. We are going to use a slow motion effect throughout this scene because we want to match the slow tempo of the chorus and this is what we normally see in Pop genre music videos.

The next shot will be a long shot to show the male and female walking in separate ways. We are going to use this shot because we want the audience to see how the main characters are walking in different directions. After for two seconds, we are going to zoom out slowly from that scene and then move into the scene where she was stood at the beach. We are going to use this camera technique because it implies that it is like the memories is fading away. The last shot will be the first scene of the female looking down on her phone. We did it this way so it is clear to the audience that this is just part of the memories and she just remembered her past because she saw one of the photos with her ex. She will then delete the photo that she has got on the phone so she will be able to move on from him.The last scene will not have a black and white effect as we want to match it from the first scene and we only use the black and white because we want to portray that the party scene is about the past.

We will be going to do some filming about this scene on 19th Oct. 2012 and it will be held at the hall because it will be the shortest location that we will be able to go to and that is the only free time that my group and the actors have.
