Information aobut the storyboard, the animatic and Filming

Am terribly sorry for the lateness of this post but there seem to have been technical difficulties, this about the third time i have attempted to post this exact message.

First of all we discussed some of the elements that we thought should be included within the music video, and then shortlisted from the list that we created (this list included animation, pyrotechnics, modelling etc.) after this shortlist we began storyboarding seperately until we eventually amalgamated certain parts of both storyboards into the final one. For the animatic we took photos of each frame from the storyboard which we then imported into I-Movie and changed the times etc. of the shots to fit with the song. Basically the idea for the music video was to have some narrative inter-cut with performance shots and then towards the end include production shots within this inter-cutting. The inclusion of these performance shots means that whoever watches the video sees the band performing and what they look like, therefore marketing the bands image and performance skills as well as their sound. We tried to keep their image as what they feel comfortable in, but it made sense to have it smart casual as there is then elements of both comfort and looking well presented.

Once the animatic was finished we found there was going to be very little time for producing the props we would need for the narrative parts of the film, therefore because of this we had to think about whether or not it would be worth it actually producing these props or concentrating more on the bands performance etc. in the end we decided that to produce these props would take too much time out

We managed to get the band together for an entire day yesterday, which obviously allowed us to film performance and production shots. Now that we have got the rushes for this, the next step is going to be editing which we are hoping to do tomorrow. Shooting went as well as could have been expected, one location had a fairly short time limit in which we could use it, however in spite of this we managed to get a good amount of shots from this location as well as from location two. From the day of shooting we managed to get just over 2 hours of footage which hopefully will give us enough to make into a music video for the band.
