Planning- Storyboard

As part of our planning process before filming, we have created a storyboard to lay out what the video will contain so that it is easier for us to follow when we begin. We have added with each picture, some notes that will help us decide what features will go with it in terms of time lapses and slow motion transitions based on the typical conventions of RnB music videos. Our song is known as a slow RnB and so we need to adapt our video so that it conforms to these conventions to a certain extent.

Our first shot names the location of the shot which is in a kitchen and we have agreed to use some fades and transitions from final cut after the footage.

In the second shot, we will introduce the actors and the idea is that they are arguing to show the basis of the narrative of the video.

The third shot shows the girl become angry over the argument as she throws a glass. This will be filmed in normal motion.

For the fourth shot we will move into slow motion and will therefore have to film the throwing scene twice so we can focus on the movement of the glass as it smashes which will symbolise the relationship.

The fifth shot looks at the girl leaving the house to avoid the man with a two shot.

The door slams in the sixth shot and we see the man left alone on his own.

We then contrast the lives in the seventh shot from either side of the door to show them leaving using a pan shot round each side.

In the eight shot, we begin to flash back from the old times that they used to have.
