During the past few weeks the group and I have been making a storyboard for our music video. This was a long process which needed many ideas and sketches for the video itself. Myself and Jay were in charge of creating the storyboard as Matt was editing the song as it was rather long and repetitive.
This is a photo of Jay and I creating the storyboard. This required listening to the song constantly so that we could illustrate our video to certain lyrics and timings. We often decided to take on certain stages of the song separately so we could complete it in the quickest time possible, we would then show each other our ideas and give feedback, this enabled us to change or keep certain points of the video we felt were necessary. The idea of using this storyboard is so that when filming we know exactly what we are going to film and where, which will save us time in the long run production of the music video.

This image is Matt editing our storyboard on Final Cut Express, this software allows the user to add transitions such as fades and decide how long each shot will be. Getting to grips with this software proved difficult to Jay and I so we thought Matt would be better suited as he was relatively comfortable using it. Although Matt was editing the majority of the storyboard, Jay and I also used it as we wanted to be familiar with the software in case Matt was unavailable to edit our work during the process of creating the video.
Here is an image of our storyboards once finished. As it shows there were many sketches drawn for each shot which was fairly time consuming. However the process was made slightly easier as in some parts of the song we intend to have the same type of shot, so we didn't need to draw each one as they were the same. The idea of creating a storyboard at first seemed unnecessary and just another complication, however now it is complete the group and I can see why doing it was worth it as it gives us a clear idea of what we need to do. It will also save us a huge amount of time when actually filming as we will know exactly what shots we need to create the music video.
