This is our story board, showing awareness for our chosen locations and how we imagine the camera angles and view points to look. We corresponded the scenes and acts below the images with our script so it would be clear what is happening in each drawing, these are also linked with the timings below.
This is the timing sheet used to plan out how long shots would be, planning the locations of the shots was also essential at this point as the story board will later be completed.
This is the boy cast for the main role in the music video.
These are the girls the the video, who happen to be the creators of this project. We have chosen myself and the boy above to play the main roles in the video as we are already a couple and would feel comfortable playing these roles, the relaxed nature shown in the video will hopefully reflect on the views, creating the layed back indie style we aim to create. The other two girls have also been chosen to show in the film so all three of us are given a shared part in both staring in and filming the video.
The following is a list of important things characters will need in order to star in our main production, props, settings and locations, lighting and camera angle have all been included in preparation to start filming.
Settings And Locations
1. The opening scene will take place in the living room, a natural fire will be lit so the lighting will be bright allowing the audience to see the actors actions clearly. The comfortable relaxed setting should make the audience feel right at home and they should find this scene relatebale. The following indoor scenes should also have this affect as we plan on purposely filming all the indoor scenes within the same house the vibes, lightly and decor of the house remain the same.
2. The short scenes to follow occur along a number of streets. I aim to film these scenes including as much light as possible by filming under or beside lamp posts as a slight change to lightly can have a huge affect. We aim to include both rural and suburban areas in order to keep the largest fan base as possible, it also shows a wide variety of locations allowing diversity, and we hope the weather will also remain diverse in order to show the passing of time and costumes will be arranged to co-onside with this.
3. We plan on filming the scene at the metro station in the evening as we want it to be relatively empty in order to portray the girl as being alone and vulnerable, allowing the audience to sympathise with her as the boy appears to be a figure of her imagination, the dark setting should help evoke this.
4. The scene in the supermarket maybe difficult to execute as we shall ask permission from the manager first, depending on his response we shall film outside and unfortunately loose the comical affect we aim to create. If successful the lightly will be perfect as its bright and will allow the audience to see everything clearly.
5. The final scene at the beach will be weather dependent due to our plans to create a bonfire, candles and lanterns in order to create a romantic setting and use lighting in an effective way, if the weather is bad the house in the opening scene will be used to symbolise the start of a relationship. Loads of fast moving hand held camera angles will be used in this scene to build tension as the video comes to an end.
Props
Before we go out to shoot we write a check list of all the items we need as we have learnt from past experiences.
1. The guitar plays an important role as it keeps the audience connected to the indie theme and adds a unique quality to the video as the audience grow curious. It also stops the male character looking like a numpty as it would even stranger if he was just standing watching the girl in most scenes.
2. The shopping trolley, basket and milk the main girl picks up during the supermarket scene, although they have no significance this scene is added for comic values as the randomness of the boys appearance and public humiliation maybe quite funny.
3. A few bags will be used, such as a shopping bag, school bag and a handbag in order to suggest the girls busy lifestyle
4. We also plan to use a small dog so the audience can relate to this or lighten the mood as dogs are proven to make people happier. It also makes the video more realistic as the girls more likely to be walking the streets for a reason.
5. A teapot and cup will be used within the first section of the video in order for it to relate to the band name "Tom And The Tea Pots" with is ironic as the main girl is the person using this significant prop.
6. Three images of the girls will be needed in the opening scene as the audience will be shown which girl the boy loves.
7.Lanterns will be used in the final scene within the last few seconds to symbolise an ever lasting love as the lanterns are forever flying.
Dialogue
Research has told me its rare to use alot of dialogue and due to the relaxed nature of our video we don't intend on using any, well shall delete any diagetic sound during the editing process. The song 'Charlott' by the band 'Air Traffic' will be the sound track of our video as we found its a very catchy song and will therefore keep our fan base/target audience hooked!
