The storyboard document outlines 21 shots for a music video. It begins with the main character sitting in a classroom receiving a poor exam result from his teacher. He then storms out, upset. Later, he sees his parents arguing and texts his girlfriend to meet. The story follows the character taking a train to London to buy a teddy bear as a gift. He then takes another train to a pier, where he gifts the bear to his girlfriend. However, she suddenly fades away, revealing that she may have passed away. The character is left distressed, looking out at the sea.

2. OUR STORYBOARD

3. SHOT 1
The first shot in our music video will be of the main
character/artist sitting at his desk in a classroom. His
teacher will be making his/her way towards him.
We may decide to use a low or high angle shot which tilts
to introduce the artist or we will opt to not have any
camera movement at the beginning of the video.

4. The second shot will show the teacher
trying to console the artist due to a
poor exam result.
We will most likely use a two shot, as
well as a close up to show the audience
why the teacher is consoling the
student.
SHOT 2

5. SHOT 3
After this the student will flip out due
to unknown stresses. He will fling
everything off the desk and storm out
of the room.
Due to the slow tempo of the music at
this point we will most likely slow the
footage down to make it more
dramatic. We will also use a long shot
to capture all the action.

6. SHOT 4
The character will then fling his bag
on the floor and will slide down
against the wall.
We will use a high angle shot to
connote the character’s feelings and
emotions at this moment in the
video.

7. SHOT 5
Once the main character seems to
be at his lowest, a group of guys
will walk by a kick his bag.
He will most likely use a low angle
shot.

8. SHOT 6
The character will then grab his bag
and leave the school.
This shot will start at eye level and will
then change to a low angle shot.

9. SHOT 7
The character will be walking home,
after giving up with school. This is
where we will incorporate performance
as the character will be singing the
song.
We will use a range of shots to make
sure we keep the audience interested.

10. SHOT 8
In this shot the character will get to his
house and stop because he will see his
parents arguing through the window.
We will use an extreme close up and an
over the shoulder shot for this.

11. SHOT 9
He reacts by getting his phone out and
texting who is presumed to be his
girlfriend. The text reads;
I miss you x
The character’s phone then notifies him
that there’s a reply which reads;
Well come find me, wait for me where we
fell in love xx
The character then turns around and there
will be a quick fade to him walking into the
train station once the verse “I've been cold,
I've been merciless” plays.

12. SHOT 10
This shot will show the character
walking into the station.
This will be a long shot to show the
character entering the building.

13. SHOT 11
The character will then be singing the
song while on the train into London.
These shots will be close ups.

14. SHOT 12
This will be a montage of the character
in London whereby he is making a
detour in his journey to travel through
London in order to find something.
We will use a range of different shots to
make this montage as interesting as
possible for the audience.

15. SHOT 13
It is now revealed that the character
wanted to buy a teddy bear, the reason
behind it is never specified and
therefore it creates a narrative enigma.

16. SHOT 14
The character is now back on his
journey to where ever he is going and
while he's on the train he will be
singing the song.
Like before we will probably use close
ups.

17. SHOT 15
The character will be leaving the station.
We will a long shot like we did in the
other station, however this time it will
show the character walking away.

18. SHOT 16
The character will be walking down the
pier whilst singing.
We will probably use a range of shots
to make it faster pace and to keep the
audience entertained.

19. SHOT 17
Once the character reaches a certain
point on the pier he will stand and wait
for the person he texted.
The type of shot we use isn’t as
important at this part, however we will
probably use a medium shot.

20. SHOT 18
A girl will then walk up to the main
character and hold his hand.
He will use a low angle two shot in
order to make this as effective as
possible.

21. SHOT 19
The character will then turn to the girl
and smile. After doing this he will let go
of her hand and give her the teddy bear.
This shot will be a close up.

22. SHOT 20
There will then be a shot of the
girl holding the teddy bear and
smiling, she will then slowly start
to fade away in front of the guy.
This will be a medium shot to fit
in the girl holding the bear.

23. SHOT 21
The character’s face will then drop
and he will turn and face the sea,
putting his hands on the railing.
This will most likely be an over the
shoulder shot.
