The document provides a storyboard for a music video consisting of 77 shots over 3 minutes. It begins with an introduction of the band members and then cuts between shots of a narrative chase scene and shots of the band playing in the studio. The chase scene follows a protagonist being chased through alleyways and features a cyclist who is pushed off his bike so the protagonist can escape on it. The storyboard provides technical details for each shot such as camera angles, durations, and effects to achieve an edgy feel while cutting between the live band and narrative elements.
