Storyboard for Music Video

Today,

Katie and I finalized our storyboard with Mise en Scene.  We know the order that we want it for the most part.  We have a few ideas on how we can end it.  It is just a matter of timing and our editing skills.

Starting with the costumes, we have decided to go in the path of wanting to bring three completely different outfits to portray three different events happening within our music video.  For our childhood scene we wanted to do bright soothing colors to express the youthfulness and joy.  The adult aspect we chose to have the actresses wear colors on a darker spectrum this to display maturity and the seriousness of the scene.  Lastly, for the scene where we dance it will be simple and movable.

Moving on towards the lighting, in the beginning scenes and scenes where we are adults the lights will give off a more realistic type of vibe.  In the dance scene the lighting that is desired should be dark and grayish.  This is to emphasize the dancers movements in the mirror and their reflections without being distracted by color.  The childhood scenes are one of animation and festive colors.

The actors/actresses starring in our production will be ourselves.  Katie and I will be acting and dancing in all the shots.  We believed that it was best for us to be the ones starring in, directing and producing the music video because not only would it be easier but also cleaner. This way the film can be executed the way we both envisioned it.

Make-up is pretty simple in this music video.  For the most part our faces will be completely naked and natural. We may wear a tab bit of make in the adult scenes to show age.

Props will consist of children toys and book bags for the flashback scenes of us being kids again.  The adult scene will consist of purses, little accessories that emulate to us looking older that we actually are. The dance scene truly only requires mirrors and lots of it.

Our scenes take place in three different locations.  The first beginning outside, somewhere nice with a sidewalk.  The next setting is on playground, for the children.  Lastly, the third location is in a dance room hopefully with mirrors.

We plan on checking out the camera tomorrow, the 22nd of this month (November), so that we may play it smart and have it for the weekend to film.  We will be doing a lot of pans, tilts, burn-ins and burn-outs, wide shots, possibly over the shoulder and some P.O.V.s.  This is so we capture the different moods, emotions,and scenery going on.  As far as editing goes, we have to do a lot of cutting, copying, pasting, and matching up to perfection or at least close to it.  This will be something really challenging for us since we are still learning the ins and outs of editing. For sound there will be the audio track.
