1. The video starts with no music. The female actor
is sitting on the bed in the room alone. Next to
her is the main artists phone. On her other side
she has a suitcase containing her items. There is
natural lighting from the window in the room.
The scene lasts 27 seconds. The female actor is
wearing every day clothing but has a coat on
Story board
which shows she is about to leave. She also has
mascara down her face, which portrays that she
has been crying to the audience this shows her
emotions. The camera angle is at a mid
shot, which shows the room and the actress so
the audience can see the entire action
happening.
The scene will fade into an over the shoulder
shot of the main actor on a bridge holding a
photograph in his hand. He looks at the
photograph for a short while as the camera
angles change from mid shots to close up shots
of him singing. The actor will be wearing casual
clothing. The lighting is natural as the scene is
being shot outside. However we are going to
edit this scene to be in black and white and
change the brightness and contrast as we feel
this suits the mood of the song this scene will
last 20 seconds and the transition will be a
straight cut to the next scene.
2. This scene will open with a shot from behind.
The main artist will be sitting on a bench at the
train station, wearing the same clothing as in the
previous shot making it clear to the audience
that this is happening on the same day this also
We have swopped this scene for artist shows continuity. The actor will be looking
down at the floor with the photograph in his
Story board
performance.
hand. He will then look up across the platform
and see the female character with her suitcase.
A train will immediately come past and there
will be a cut transition. This scene will last 22
seconds. There will be natural lighting as the
scene is shot outside.
This is a close up shot of the main artists face.
He will be singing directly into the camera. He
will be stood against a clear background possibly
a brick wall as this makes him stand out in the
scene as he will be the only object on the
background therefore in this scene the audience
will be focused on his face. In this scene the
audience will be able to see the emotion
thoughts and feelings on the artists face as the
close up shot reveals all this.
3. The chorus scene will be filmed on a platform in
kingston by the river. The main artist will be sat
on the platform performing the song. This part
of the video wil be the performance part. The
camera angles will be varied so the scene is not
boring we plan to use close up on the
instrument as well as the artist as well as long
Story board
shots and mid shots so all action can be seen
and a birds eye view shot as we think this will
look professional and add versimilitude to the
video. This scene will last 22 seconds and will be
filmed outside therfore the lighting will be
natural.
The next scene is where the rap part of the song
takes place. This is filmed with the rap artist
walking by the river lip-synching. The rap artist will
be filmed walking towards the camera as well as
from the side and behind. The lighting is natural as
it is filmed outside and once again the same
clothing is worn to show the continuity of it being
the same day.
This scene will also jump from two locations the
other location will be the rap artist under the
subway leant against a wall and walking. This
scene will last .
4. The next scene is the second chorus. It is
filmed on a small dock in Kingston by the river.
We intend to have the artist sat on the dock
with his legs hanging over the edge of the
Story board
dock singing the chorus. This scene lasts 15
seconds. The lighting is natural as it is outside
j
and the artists clothing is once again the same
as the idea is that it is all filmed on the same
day so this enhances the idea of the continuity
in the video.
The next scene is the two artists against a
plain background for example the brick wall.
We plan to film this part with the 2 artists
separately and then edit the 2 clips so they
play next to each other at the same time. This
scene will be filmed with natural lighting as it
j
is outside and will last 23 seconds. The
camera will be a close up shot as this is an
important scene for emotions so this will show
both artist’s thoughts and feelings in this part
of the song.
5. The next scene is filmed at the train station
it opens with the train going past which
continues on from the 3rd scene it then
passes to revel that the girl that was there
We have now decided we aren’t going to include before the train passed has gone the camera
Story board
the train station scene we are going to film more is a close up shot on the artists face to see
performance from the artist for this part if the his emotion. He then gets up and walks
song. away from the camera with the picture still
in his hand the camera focuses on him
looking at the picture in his hand he then
walks away from the camera.
This scene ends with a close up on the
picture that the artist just dropped this lasts
3 seconds. The lighting is natural as it is
outside and still in black and white.
