Storyboard and Lyrics Sheet

This is the storyboard and lyrics sheet we made and will use to plan our music video.

(This was made primarily me and maxine with additional input and feedback from other group members)

Design by Max W

Lyrics Sheet:

The lyrics sheet was pivitol on finding the right timing of the scenes as we wanted certain scenes to happen when a certain lyric was said or a certain part of the song such as a guitar solo or opening intrumentals. It also helped to build and develop the narrative as we are able to sequence and find the flow and make a story that progresses and follows it. It was also useful to brain storm ideas though most of the ideas came from me and were inspired by Rage Against the Machine like polictical messaging and music videos. So in all the lyric sheet acted as the bassis of the music video that will be visualized and expanded in the actual storyboard itself.

Storyboard:

Like how the lyric sheet acted as the basis of the music videos ideas, the storyboard is the visualisation of those ideas which help us see how to frame certain shoots and which camera angles will work best which helps us make the best possible shot. The storyboard will also help us later in the production and post production process as it has time frames and shots which will help us not lose focus when shooting,  in addition it also shows which editting transitions will be used which can help the edittors as they do not need to think of one on the spot.

Reflection:

Comming up with ideas for this song/music video was actually quite easily as before term 2 I had already listened the song and had an epiphany of how a narrative music video for this song could go which I then sent to my now group member Sagara. As well being a huge fan of the songs original band, Radiohead, helped me easily be able to identify the song's messages and read between the lines which helped contribute to the idea making. However one concern I have when shooting this music video is the logistics as many scenes require a large amount of people to act as a crowd which may be hard to find, we also need to move alot of music intruments and equipment to a parking lot where we plan on shooting the band scenes which may be hard especially for the drums and amplifiers. One problem I ran into was trying to explain my idea to the group as it was pretty solid but had alot of holes in it though with discussion and communication we were able to fill them up. In the future maybe I would try to make the scenes easier to shoot with better logistics and management.
