Planning - Storyboard

Storyboarding 

A storyboard is a graphic representation of how a moving image will unfold, shot by shot. It is made up of illustrations or images representing each shot that will be included in the moving image which is supported by important notes for each shot including the camera shot, location, props, lighting, actors, sound, dialogue, editing and narrative description. A story board is vital to have when creating a music video as it used as a plan which will be extremely useful. After deciding on our final idea and identifying how the narrative was going to progress throughout the music video, we created a storyboard of each frame, identifying the micro elements; camera shot, location, props, lighting, actors, sound, dialogue and editing that we will include in each frame, supported by a brief narrative description, of what will occur in that particular frame. Story boarding our idea has been beneficial as we have been able to look closely at the narrative, taking each frame into consideration, rather than identifying a brief overview, which does not give us any insight into the details we need to draw upon when creating our music video.
