storyboard

The storyboard is the next step in pre-production. It is a compulsary tool that builds on the timeline to visualise the different shots and work out which shot type to use and what it will connote towards the audience. Storyboarding also considers where tracking and craning will be used and what this will suggest to the audience. When the storyboard is put together it also sets out how the final shoot will look after editing, using a device where the storybioard is filmed and edited together.

Storyboard's are also necessary because they are much easier to work with than film and also cheape. Using storyboards enables the direcrtor to understand what the shoot will be like. Therefore, it is much easier for an artist to change the images in the storyboard around than the director to change their mind about how images look on the shoot day.

Our first shot is a close up of a pair of heels on the floor. This signifies girls coming back after a night out, as the shoes look as if they have been thrown carelessly on the floor. We decided to use a close-up, so the audience understand what the objects are on the floor. We decided not to use an extreme closeup because this would imply the shoes have more of a significance to the overall video than they do.

We decided to use fast moving shots to edit the shots together. We decided that for example, fades would be too slow for the audience and then would loose the audience's intrest, as the song is only three minutes long.
