Planning storyboards- Miss Georgiou

      The main purpose of a storyboard is to plan a music video in depth as it allows people to plan the music video shot by shot therefore you have a good idea of what you are doing when you come to film. Storyboards contain what each shot will contain, the length of each shot, lighting, iconography, location, effects, narrative description and sound. Therefore each shot is thorough and detailed so when it comes to filming it will run smoothly and easily. By producing a storyboard filming will be much more easier as the group understands what different shots we are producing. Furthermore each individual in the group has a clear understanding of how to film the music video. Therefore by producing storyboards it will make producing the music video easier as we have a clear understanding of whats going on in each shot but also the music video is more likely to be successful as we have planned in depth. 

      

      As a group we carried out research about indie music videos so we understood what interests audiences about indie music and what they thought makes an indie music video successful. We carried out primary research which was asking 5 individuals between 10-30 in open questions on indie music videos in an interview style to gain opinion based answers. By doing an interview allowed us to have a greater insight in what interests them about indie music videos as we are actually taking part in research. The questions were open so it gave unbiased results and more accurate results which we used when we planned our storyboard. Secondary research we carried out to assist with our storyboards were handing out 40 people aged 10-30 questionnaires on indie music which allowed us to understand what conventions we needed to have within our music video to be successful and what interests them about an indie music video. We asked 40 people as this gathered unbiased results and gave us a deep knowledge about how we should plan our music video. Once we collected our results we discussed the results as a group. The main elements we found popular from our questionnaire were a narrative based music video and a simple setting. From the data we gained it helped us extremely when we came to create our storyboards as we had a clear understand what conventions and features we had to include in our music video for it to be successful.

       

      Before creating our storyboard we discussed different ideas and opinions on how we should create our storyboard so that we all had a clear understand of what we was doing when creating our storyboards. Before we decided to split our storyboards up equally we discussed many ideas so that we all had a clear understand. As a group we decided to share the responsibility so that everyone was involved, by sharing as group made our storyboards more successful as they were created quickly and more smoothly. Furthermore each individual was allowed to put their opinion into the storyboard making it fair.
