Storyboard



Recce


By visiting our chosen location for our music video, it made it so much easier for us to understand where our main character would be standing and using in parts of the location. By visiting the park it gave a really clear vision of where and what exactly our character would be doing and what special effect would be appropriate to use at certain places at the park. The images below and on the right are where our main character will be standing and syncing, we decided to use this in a part of our music video because this is going to take place in one of the pre choruses of the song of ‘Remember When’.

Here we are also going to have the actress sit down on the long looking upset on her own, this is to connote that she is on her own, that’s why we decided to use an isolated location for different parts of our music video.






When looking at our location we found an appropriate place where our two characters would have a flashback because in the lyrics it is stated that “If only you could only see the beast you’ve made of me, I held it in but now it seems you’ve set it running free” we thought that this old dead tree would be suitable for the theme we are going for our music video. This is sort of an isolated place where after the flashback our main actress will be reminiscing the old days (flack back) looking upset.

 

Throughout the music video our actress will be running through the wood, we figured out how these place places would be perfect for our fast-forwarded effect.

Risk Assessment


Lyrics

                                                                           "Howl"

If you could only see the beast you've made of me
I held it in but now it seems you've set it running free
Screaming in the dark, I howl when we're apart
drag my teeth across your chest to taste your beating heart

My fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in
You are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to howl
My fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in
You are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to

Howl, howl
Howl, howl

Now there's no holding back, I'm making to attack
My blood is singing with your voice, I want to pour it out
The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound
I hunt for you with bloody feet across the hallow'd ground

like some child possessed, the beast howls in my veins
I want to find you tear out all your tenderness

And howl, howl
Howl, howl

Be careful of the curse that falls on young lovers
Starts so soft and sweet and turns them to hunters
Hunters, hunters, hunters
Hunters, hunters, hunters

The fabric of your flesh, pure as a wedding dress
Until I wrap myself inside your arms I cannot rest
The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound
I hunt for you with bloodied feet across the hallow'd ground

And howl

Be careful of the curse that falls on young lovers
Starts so soft and sweet and turns them to hunters
A man who's pure of heart and says his prayers by night
May still become a wolf when the autumn moon is bright

If you could only see the beast you've made of me
I held it in but now it seems you've set it running free
The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound
I hunt for you with bloody feet across the hallow'd ground

Camera Practice

Today's lesson was about how to use a camera in a more strategic way, we've learnt how to focus and blur. We had a group exercise where one person would stand in front of the camera while two others would stand in the background and with the camera effect the people in the background would get blurred leaving the attention on the person in front. This is an effect we've really want to use in our music video since it's sad and quit depressing we want all the attention on out character so her emotions will stand out.

Editing Practice

We've had two lesson on how to use different editing techniques for example shot-reverse-shot by doing a short film, even thought we are doing a music video we still learnt a few things which we could us in our video. The software used was Final Cut Pro we've been able to do things such as adding different scenes together, adding titles, adding special effects such as 3D and sound enhancement ect... This was extremely useful because it help us learnt to basics therefore once our music video is shot we'll be able to go straight to editing.
