Storyboard 2

After doing a first draft of our storyboard, I wanted to develop the ideas more and doing this resulted into another storyboard and a more in depth one. I have used a wider range of shots, and shortened the length of each slot. This makes is more interesting, Once we have done this we will to think about how to link them all together so it isn't jumping to the next shot suddenly, they need to flow. If this was to happen it wouldn't matter how good our footage was, it would look very wooden and unprofessional. This is only a draft of our video and may change throughout the process.




Shot 1 - Close Up (3 Seconds)
This is a close up of Susanna's face, I thought that If it filled the frame, it would be an interesting start to a music video and different as the majority of music videos would usually start with an establishing shot.

Shot 2 - High Shot (2 Seconds)
As one of our locations is Farnham Castle grounds, I thought using a high shot in this clip would work well because it is short and snappy. If we shot it at night, or early evening, we would have the effect of the town lights in the background. A high shot works really well because you get a different point of view.

Shot 3 - Mid Shot (4 Seconds)
One of the shots in Emelie Sandé's video is of her on the swings in a children's play park. Another one of our locations is Gostrey Meadow. This means we have access to a park and I really liked this shot in the artists video, so want to see what it looked like on ours. I put this here, because when listening to the lyrics, I could see Susanna gently rocking on the swings whilst singing this line.

Shot 4 - Long Shot (4 Seconds)
Still being in Gostrey's, I thought another shot could be around the trees. Again this is another fairly short shot. I need to think about the movement of Susanna when filming as it might change.

Shot 5 - Close Up (4 Seconds)
Another close up here would work because it is the beginning part to the chorus. Then I want the end of this shot to cut straight to the next.

Shot 6 - Mid Shot (3 Seconds) 
I want this to be a straight cut from the previous shot. Once again shot in Gostrey's, I see this line being shot on the bridge above the river in the meadow. I think this should been done once it's fairly dark and we can project light onto her and see how that turns out.

Shot 7 - Low Shot (3 Seconds)
Another shot done at Farnham Castle, I want it to pan slightly around the front of Susanna before flowing into the next shot.

Shot 8 - Tilt to Sky (6 Seconds)
From the panning low shot in the previous shot, I want the camera to go straight from that to a tilt to the sky. This shot starts off as an instrumental piece before the lyrics come into it.




Shot 9 - Side Shot (part of the 6 Seconds in the previous shot) 
We want to have a fade out effect, and splitting Shot 8 and 9 to make each shot last for about 3 seconds each. I think a fade effect would work really well in this song because it is quite emotional and the fade we are going to attempt to put in on the instrumental half of this shot.

Shot 10 - Low Shot (3 Seconds)
The shot will be of Susanna watching a group of boys hanging around. I think that this shot would work amazingly well if we did it a Farnham Castle. I think if we had Susanna stood at a higher level watching down on the group of lads in the grounds. We can try and fit both the group and Susanna in on the same shot. However this does only last for 3 seconds.

Shot 11 - Low Shot (4 Seconds) 
This would be filmed, with us stood at the bottom of Castle Street in town and Susanna's walking down. If this was filmed at night or early evening, the lights would give an emotional effect within it. I think this would work really well with this song.

Shot 12 - Side Shot (7 seconds) 
When thinking about this lyric and our locations, I could imagine Susanna being stood on the bridge in Gostrey's. If we filmed from the side with her looking straight on, instead of the camera. She could even walk away from us, to show that she's walking away from the message to the song.

Shot 13 - High Shot (8 seconds) 
Back to Farnham Castle, in the grounds is Susanna, and the camera is above on one of the higher levels. I think we could pan the camera when she sings this because the song begins to heat up and starts getting a bit faster.

Shot 14 - Long Shot (10 Seconds)
I really liked the shot on the swings and think it works really, really well in this song. Instead of having a closer shot of Susanna, I would think about standing back, possibly the outside fence of the park just so it has a different view and angle as the previous shot which is similar to this one.

Shot 15 - Mid Shot (11 Seconds)
The top half of Susanna shot in Farnham Castle stood in front of the town background would look good at this spot. This isn't a close up, which makes it that much more effective because instead of just her facial expressions, the audience can assess her body language towards the song to see if they match.





Shot 16 - Wide Shot (6 Seconds)
Like the shot where Susanna was stood watching the boys, I think she should walk past them watching them play football in the meadow. This links to the lyrics 'When the friends you thought you had haven't stuck around' Susanna's walking past her friends who are ignoring her.

Shot 17 - Mid Shot (7 Seconds)
Stood in front of Farnham Castle, instead of having the town as the background, I think the actual castle would look really good too, and you have it on a different level as well.

Shot 18 - Close Up (6 Seconds)
The fade effect is really popular in this type of song. I think if she sings this lyric and the this shot fades out as she's singing. This is a fairly long shot for this video, and if it just slowly goes out, I think it would work really well.

Shot 19 - Long Shot (3 Seconds)
Unlike the long shot of Susanna walking down Castle street, I think she should begin to walk up it but on the other side so it looks different. It's as if she's walking away from 'the party.'

Shot 20 - Wide Shot (5 Seconds)
Instead of using just the swings in Gostrey's, I think we should use more of the available equipment there. I like the idea of having Susanna on the springy-horse thingy, that children like to play on. I think that this would add a bit more 'life' to the video.

Shot 21 - Establishing Shot (9 Seconds) 
I want to put a shot of the park that we are using completely empty with a bit of movement, such as the roundabout moving and the springy-horse thingy moving. And then we either cut to Susanna back on the springy thingy such as the shot before, or she walks  slowly in from one side of the park.

Shot 22 - Long Shot (7 Seconds)
I think Susanna should stand in the left hand side of the frame for this shot. Just to give it a different type of edge to it. If it is shot at night, it would look really dark and mysterious, We would just need to sort out some type of lighting.

Shot 23 - Side Shot (6 Seconds)
If Susanna walked across the screen looking forward and didn't look directly into the camera, it would emphasise the emotion to this song.


Shot 24 - Wide Shot (8 seconds)
If she just carried on walking from the last shot, I think she should carry on walking across the bridge. All of the walking she does throughout out the video needs to be done fairly slowly, and to the beat of the music.

Shot 25 - High Shot (9 Seconds)
I think the high shots for the start of the chorus works really well and I think there should be another one here. The lights of the town in the background does give a very different atmosphere and it should be one that is carried through the video.

Shot 26 - Close Up (5 Seconds)
Over this 5 second shot, I want this clip to slowly fade out. A fade out would also work really well with this line of lyrics. This part should be filmed at Farnham Castle.

Shot 27 - Long Shot (5 Seconds)
I like it when Susanna walks slowly down Castle Street and I think that the lights would reflect brilliantly.

Shot 28 - Mid Shot (12 Seconds) 
The mid shot give the audience the chance to have a different view of Susanna and also capture the background. This shot's lyrics are very emphasised and I think that a mid shot would portray the emotion that it involved.

Shot 29 - Mid Shot (5 Seconds)
This shot could potentially continue from the previous one. This is a kind of repeat shot, where Susanna will stand and watch her group of friends leave her or walk past her without any acknowledgment.

Shot 30 - High Shot (6 Seconds)
If we film this shot on a higher level of the Castle and Susanna stands on the lawn, the camera should pan around the top of her creating an emotional level.

Shot 31 - Mid Shot (4 Seconds)
As we get to the last few lines of the song, I like the idea of a mid shot. This shot will be done at Gostrey meadows, in front of the trees or on the bridge.


Shot 32 - Mid Shot (5 Seconds)
Back at Farnham Castle, another mid shot, which carries on from the previous shot.

Shot 33 - Mid Shot (5 Seconds)
Then a flick back to Gostrey Meadows, again, carrying on from the previous shot.

Shot 34 - Close Up (11 Seconds)
As the final clip, I think the words 'My Kind Of Love' should be written on a glass and then slowly comes closer to the camera.
