Storyboard Ideas - Behind Bad Luck

22/10/13

After planning and picking the music that we are going to choose for our music video, we have finally started to plan the actual making of the music video. Although the ideas at the moment are quite rough because it is just the beginning of the ideas and that we may change them in the near future but the people in our group (Connor, Nick and Dapo) have an idea about what the beginning of the video will be like.
Since the music that we are choosing is influenced by a Ska band tha we have chosen called Behind Bad Luck. The idea is that we will need instruments such as a trumpet or saxophone and the main instruments like a guitar and bass guitar. Our initial idea for the first shot is that we have the main character (Tomas) on the swing watching 'Man Of Steel' and then says something like "I want to be like him!". Then the rest of the group will come into the shot and say "Then let's do it!". We will all then depart different ways and then the shot will be of all of the members of the group putting on the gear which we have agreed will be white shirts and blackad white ska ties apart from the leader Tomas who will have a red tie to signify that he is the leader of the group. This is as far that we have gotten into the idea of the music video, we will have a nother group discussion in the near future and will then further plan our music video.

After the lesson, we have finally begun to make our start on how the music video that we are going to make is going to look. The main person in the music video will be the same as in our last video Tomas, as we believe that he has the acting skill to make the video come alive. So far we have planned the beginning of the video. First, we will have Tomas sitting on the swing in the park watching the latest Man Of Steel movie on his phone. Then a group of band members who will be me, Connor, Dapo and Nick will approach him and ask if he would like to make a music video with us. As soon as they ask the question, Tomas then goes into a daydreaming stance which is where the music will actually begin. After this happens the music video will contain different shots of us, the band members playing the instruments to the song while there will also be short clips of us performing around different and iconic locations around London. Coming to the end of the music video, we will then come back to the question that the bands members asked Tomas which is where the music video will end. The picture that is shown on the right is only the first page of the storyboard that we have completed so far but by the time next week when we will have begun filming; there will be many more sheets.
