Storyboard #1 - Narrative

Adam Lawson and myself have created a selection of storyboards for the narrative scenes of our music video. These are shots that we initially feel we want to shoot for the music video, however, we may not be able to get cartain angles depending on our final choices of locations.

As the files aren't to the best quality after scanning, here is some detail on the storyboards:

Shot 1 - Long shot of "the girl" with her friends, all are laughing, happy etc. Also, she will be wearing a different colour to the rest of the girls to symbolize that she is the main character.

Shot 2 - Close-Up of the girl, to symbloise how happy she is at this point in the narrative, also subtley hinting that whilst she is inside with friends she is safe.

Shot 3 - Over-The-Shoulder group shot of the girls, with "the girl" recieving a text from someone, taking her phone out of her pocket and showing it to the audience.

Shot 4 - Extreme Close-Up of the phone screen, revealing that "the girl" has been text by her boyfriend, asking her to come and see his band practice, she happily replies saying she will.

Shot 5 - Extreme Long Shot will show "the girl" leaving her house, making her way to the band practice.

Shot 6 - Another Extreme Long Shot will show "the girl" on the other side of the road, this will hopefully be a subtle clue to the audience, as the road will be filled with traffic as she approaches the practice room

Shot 7 - Another Extreme Long Shot will show "the girl" has opted to take a shortcut down a rather rough looking back street, the tone of the video will begin to change with the music.

Shot 8 - An Extreme Close-Up of the car, which has been out of shot, and is now hurtling towards the girl at an alarming speed.

Shot 9 - Another Exteme Close-Up, this time of "the girl", who is wide-eyed with fear, trying to capture the classic "dear in the headlights" moment with this shot to help show she is scared.

Shot 10 - Long Shot, showing "the girl" lieing on the floor, mostly to show the audience that she has been hit by the car and the way they both will be completely still in the middle of the road ("the girl" and the car) will subtley show the twist which is coming for our audience.

Shot 11 - Another Long Shot, this time of the driver getting out of the car, we can see panic and concern etched on his face at the horror at what he has done.

Shot 12 - Medium Shot to show the girl is up and walking away, shouting apologies to the driver to show she is sorry for not watching where she was going, and begins running from the camera to show that she is in a hurry to get to where the band is, back in a safer setting, and away from the dangers of the outside world.

Shot 13 - Tracking Shot, which follows "the girl" running down the corridor of the band's practice studio, showing that is determined to get to the band at all costs

Shot 14 - Extreme Close-Up of "the girl" opening the door to the band's practice studio, this will also feature demonstrations of match-on-action, as the will show "the girl" walking through the door and smiling at the band.

Shot 15 - Group Shot of the band, who look up to see why the door has opened, it is at this point that the music stops playing.

Shot 16 - Long Shot of the door, (also a Point Of View shot from the band) to show that there is no-one there, revealing to the audience the climatic shock of the video, that "the girl" was killed by the car earlier in the video.
