Storyboard and Animatic

The video, relies on the girls reaction to the mysterious events, to create the eery tone of the video and the parnormal activity influence. We desired a close up of this reaction to create this.




We wanted to include shots of the whole band playing to create an impact. This shot would be a mid shot with everyone in view.


Each of the choices made by our group about camera movement, shot types, angles and editing were significant to us as a group. The opening shot was a significant shot in creating the tone of the video. We decided to use a mid shot to establish the characters and have the camera pointing towards the mirror to create some familarity. We decided to have a range of shots of the guitar close up to create an 'indie rock' feel. These shots would range from close up to mid shots so that the viewer can see the artist playing.

Mise-en-scene

Props-To make our house scenes realistic we will film everyday routines. We will film the main girl character applying nail varnish to fit the realistic tone.

To make the video realistic and attract our chosen target audience we will use props such as a mic stand, guitar and drum kit when filming the band playing.


Make up: The girls make up in the house scenes will be quite natural to fit the fact that the scenes are everyday house scenes. However, dark eye make up will be worn to add a slight edge to the character and fit the indie rock target audience.

Costume, a black playsuit will be casual worn with tights and a cardigan, however, the classic black fits in with the alternative rock genre and so does the casual attire. The male character will wear skinny jeans and a black t shirt a slightly rock look to fit the genre. However, both characters will be dressed casually and reguarly to express that the video is filmed in a everyday house. The band members will wear similar attire to the male character, black t shirts, skinny jeans etc to express their image.

The kitchen

The country living room, where mysterious thing will occur, similar to that of Paranormal activity which we were influenced by.
Setting/Location- Our setting will be a house, the reason for this is because our main influence is Paranormal activity which is also set in a house where mysterious things occur. We will also set our band shots in a music room in Lewes. The basic music room will emphasise the bands genre as the musical instruments will be made apparent, the bands energy will also be addressed. The use of the music room will enable the target audience to view the band performing.
