Planning - Timeline and Storyboard

Time line

To start our planning for our music video we created a time line to show the different cuts we plan to make within the video. Most my clips last for around 3 to 4 seconds and I have decided to use more post production effects in my video rather then a narrative idea. This will involve super-imposing images within my video to hopefully create the effect that I am after. I am planning to film the band performing on stage, and I will cut this into the post production effects that I hope to create. Creating this time line has helped me to realise where I have gaps and anywhere I did I needed to take extra time to think about a new idea that could potentially fill that gap.

Below are shots of my time line:






Storyboard 

After creating a time line, we began to make a storyboard as another part of our planning. To do this, I had to refer back to my time line then draw pictures of what I wanted my shots to look like, I did this on post-it notes. Within these drawings, I had to include the different camera angles and shot distances. Additional information that I could not include in my drawing was written underneath. 

Overall, I did about 10 sheets in total, consisting of 6 pictures per page. Looking back to my time line, when appropriate I wrote the chorus lyrics on top of the post-it notes. Planning my music video has helped me a great deal and I will be referring back to them to guide me while filming my video to ensure I include all the shot distances and angles that I wanted to create.
