Planning- Story boarding

 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 as it will help us to understand what we want to achieve and is used as something for us to build on. 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. Storyboarding 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. Therefore, we storyboarded the entire music video and thought about all the details, giving us a clearer idea of how our music video is going to develop. We it comes to filming the music video, it will also be easier for us, as we will use the storyboard as guidance.
