The storyboards
we created were done to create a sense of the atmosphere and emotion that is
portrayed in the song 'Breathe Me' - Sia. Doing these helps us massively in the
preparation for the shoot day as we know where, who and when we want to shoot
through out the day. Creating them, also aided us in realizing what looked good
& fitted in and what didn't. They were manipulated over the weeks we
prepared them to try to capture the best possible outcome.
When we
first made the storyboards, we were told my our media tutors afterwards that
the editing pace was too low. Then, when we took it up to the edit sweet we
realized that with the quickened editing pace we needed more shots. Editing allowed
us to see what we had and we realized that we didn't have enough shots. This
mean that we had to go back and re-do more storyboards. In terms of
constructing the star image within the storyboards, I don't think that it is so
clear. Mainly because of the drawings. If they had been clearer, then the
audience may have understood the storyline better and therefore the star image
would have been more clear. However, we as a group we do have a throughly clear
idea of what Ivy's star image is. We developed it by taking inspiration from
other music videos and non-fictional stars such as Christina Aguilera. In comparison
there were many positives to our storyboards. They helped us to gain a very
clear understanding of what exactly we wanted to see in each shot, for how long
and where in the video we wanted it to appear so a pristine storyline could
become evident. Our set designs also became clearer through our drawings. All of the
elements & narratives that we have in our video we are aiming to keep.
They're the outcasts, Sia (Ivy) as the main act & the feathers. The three
elements that we have chosen to keep we have had since the beginning of our
production. All the ideas at the end of the video come together, as the
feathers fall into the rooms of each outcasted member, which then leads them up
to Sia on the rooftop. The class
didn't quite understand what the narrative of the video was, or who the main
act was meant to be. They said there reason for this was because the drawings
weren't clear enough. However, once we had described the narrative to them and
my tutors in detail, they began to understand it more clearly.
In the
construction of the actual product, I haven learn't that editing to the beat and creating a general consensice for what I wanted to see in the video &
what the star image has to be.
