Storyboard Explanation.

Our storyboard has been largely Generalised To begin with....

Shot 1-6 (0:00-0:05): In the 1st six shots we will see that characters move forward with jump cuts in rhythm with the intro to the song.

Shot 7 (0:05 - 0:18): We will get a fast-forward set of shots of the 2 characters moving backwards and forwards randomly. We used one shot to show this as its easier to explain with words then with storyboarding.

Shot 8 - 10 (0:18 - 0:33): We get the introduction of the 3rd character who rises into camera shot and joins in with the choreography / movements. The 4th character is seen to jump over the camera from behind to join the shot.

Shot 11 (0:33 - 0: 50): Choreography and movement will occur until the 1st chorus begins. By the time that the chorus has begun, the characters will have lined up center shot. A long shot will be used so that all characters are fully shown. We will be using jump cuts so that the characters colours will rotate and change on screen similar to the clothing changes of Bombay bicycle Club's Evening/ Morning Music Video:




Shot 12 (0:50 - 0:51): With the characters remaining the exact distance from the camera, and the camera remainin at the same height and angle, we will then switch locations, creating a Jump cut effect similar to the colour changes, but instead, the whole location will change.

Shot 13 (0:51 - 1:08): This idea for movement could be very effective. Instead of having the characters simply walk or do an overused method of "unusual" movement. We will have jump cuts, that rotate the order of colour, this will create a leap frog effect. E.g.

Red - Green - Blue - Yellow..........Green - Blue - Yellow - Red ............Blue - Yellow - Red - Green

Shot 14 (1:08 - 1:21): Once we have had some shots of the characters moving in this way, we will have them on a large set of stairs, which we have already located. We will then Continue our colour change rotation theme.

Shot 15 - 16 (1:21 -1:40): As the 2nd chorus begins, we will have the characters leave the staircase, using jump cuts, and the begin another sequence of choreography or random movements depending on the effect it has with the costumes being worn.

Shot 17 Onwards (1:40 -2:43): We will then have another location switch, in this new location, we will see the characters in front of a set of garages, which is a common aspect seen in indie music videos. By switching scenery slightly before the music change, it will allow us to show the characters picking up there instruments before the change occurs. When the music does change, the pace increases, and at this point we will have our video reflect this as it changes to a performance video similar to the start of Vampire weekend's "A-Punk":



In these last few shots we will see the characters remove the heads of their morph suits, and possibly the whole suit to see a new set of clothing similar to the fashion that the music connotes.
The pace of the performance will change and jump cuts will be used to change the positioning of the band members.
