Draft Storyboard

Seen below are pictures of the first draft of our storyboard:

Our draft storyboard was created over a number of days. We began it during a session in which we brainstormed what our video could potentially look like. We considered how we would use mise-en-scene symbolically, and how we could use it in our piece to make it visually appealing. We talked about how we could use cinematography in order to help portray the narrative of our piece, by using close up shots and extreme close ups to signify importance of elements, and to portray the emotion of the characters. We also spoke about significant lyrics within the song and considered what shots we would use to represent them. 

We found creating the first draft of our storyboard to be challenging, as it was something that we were starting entirely from scratch. Though having full creative control over the project was something we liked, it was a very daunting task when you have to start getting your ideas down on paper, and turning them into a plan for a piece that could be viable. Once we got into the process, however, we found that it was an enjoyable task.

Over the process, our storyboard will change and develop. During the production process, we will conduct more research (particularly into already existing products) that will influence changes to our original plans. Other influences will include experimentation with shots, and what we are faced with when we reach location.
