Planning Storyboard for my Music Video

Image
Storyboard scenes 1-12 In my first scene actor #1 will be in the frame either wide shot or mid shot. Actor #1 will be holding a picture and a behind the back angle will be slowly be zooming into her closer.  In the second scene actor #1 will still be in the shot but only from the waist up. As the song is starting out the main part says "do you remember" this will be symbolized through the video as Actor #1 is remembering her night on September 21st. Frame number 3 will now have a up close shot of her hand. When the shot is up close you can now clearly see the two people standing in the picture. The picture is warm and colorful and looks as if it was at a dance. The photo is know extreme up close and is in the same position. As the video goes on you can see that the photo comes to life. This photo is now "moving" because Actor #1 had a flashback. In scene 5 you can now fully see actor #2. This actor is seen putting on a record for the music. Scene 5 is still up for d...

Final task: closer to deadlines!

 Today I had a bunch of work for other classes so nothing much happened. Luckily tomorrow we have Friday off. Until then I have just been planning. Because my original plan was to have two of the same person in one clip I am thinking this might be too hard. This will need editing so I can have both frames looks like one. If that makes sense. So instead of having one person be both the “normal” and the “clone, I can have someone be a stalker or even have a mask on. This will still follow the same layout I have in my storyboard. Luckily doing either one or two people wouldn't change the plot. Overall I am still going to try the original plan first. I’m most likely only having my mom and I as the actors since we wouldn’t have to go out much and find other people. Technical wise I have been good. I have my canon camera and phone camera so storage isn’t a problem. Additionally, since I switched my phone a while back I now can shoot in a wide lens setting. This can zoom out twice the len...

Genre Decision Blog

 After researching at least 2 genres in film, I have to best pick which mine would fit into. Because I am going with a more suspenseful theme I believe a thriller would have more relation than an action genre. Action movies include more fast pace and fighting scenes, while a thriller is more about the storyline in my opinion. Thrillers use more psychological tricks which I think I will use. By having further research and ideas of thriller it will be easier to film. I chose this for my opening sequence because the project is surrounded by suspense. My main two ideas were either, a family/ person trapped inside a "tv" or shown being watched through the other screen. Or,  a person realizing an identical copy of them is living not too far. Both ideas still need to be worked on but overall they have more mystery than action. Because I will be choosing this genre I can incorporate many of the elements. This includes low-key lighting, eerie music, and special effects. The darker mor...
