This is our final storyboard which includes all of the shots that we are going to use within our music video. It also includes a write up about what the shots are and what transitions we will be using in the editing stages of the video.

2. StoryboardFinal
Thisstoryboardbeginswiththe lyrics“There’s something inside you, it’s hard to explain” and
the shot will be of Milly dancing again in the same low key lighting as before. The shot
will be 8 seconds long with a transition to the next shot. This shot will be a close up of
the nature within the woods which will signify the change in location of the video. This
shot will be 5 seconds long. Next shot is a high angle tracking shot seeing Milly walking
through the woods alone. This shot will be 5 seconds long and it will signify the fact that
she is alone. The next shot is Milly dancing again but it will be a close up tracking shot of
her that will last for 6 seconds. Next shot we see Milly through the passenger side wing
mirror to show her reflection and how this situation is making her feel. The shot will be a
mid to long shot of her and it will be still, the shot will last 8 seconds. Milly and Ben are
shown to be on a swing and it is a mid-shot that is still of them. This shot will be about
10 seconds and half way through that Ben is going to fade away but the swing is still
going to be moving very quickly. There is going to be a fade transition halfway through
this shot to remove Ben. The last shot from this storyboard is going to be a mid-shot
tracking Milly dancing for 10 seconds. Again the important shots on this storyboard are
the ones of Milly dancing as it is significant in understanding the story behind the video
and it sets the mood of the song. The same transitions will be used again so we will be
having mainly straight cuts except for the dancing scenes where it will use a fade to
black and the light then slowly appear. The important scenes on this storyboard include
Milly walking alone through the woods because it’s the main idea of the video and the
dancing scenes.
