Storyboards

This first storyboard documents the opening to our music video. The light open space is established in the beginning shots when identifying the characters and their situation. the clock symbolises the shift back in time to explain 'where it all went wrong'. In these shots we will use a wide long shot to establish the location and a number of point of view shots to show that the video documents the two characters journey and perspectives.

The representation of the glass is the climax of the couples argument which signals the breakdown of the relationship. The video continues to show the couples time apart and how unhappy they are. A combination of long and close up shots will be used to follow the glass falling and capture the spillage to show the widespread mess it has caused, much like their relationship. A high angle shot will be used to shoot the couple in different beds to generate an understanding of location and identify character movement.

Storyboard three shows the couple waking up and experiencing a normal day in each of their lives. A number of medium shots will be used to capture the sequence to both show the couples emty emotion and the action they are performing.

This storyboard shows both individuals walking through the landing in each of their houses and into the bathroom. This simple action will be shot using long and medium shots to establish the location and will be filmed from behind the character to symbolise that as an audience you are following them in their life and daily tasks.

Storyboard four focuses on the chorus of the song. This breaks up the narrative of their daily life but introduces the male singularly to identify with the male singing the song. A combination of establishing, long, medium and close up shots will be used to capture the action and the males emotion. Pans and still shots will be used to track and follow the character on his journey to 'clear his head'.

This storyboard shows the end few shots of the chorus with a point of view shot from the male character before reverting back and introducing both characters continuing the previous action. The last image shows the characters walking back into their rooms with a side shot as if the audience is watching them walk past.

In these sectors you can see the couple both beginning to do the same but then break apart and do different actions. This is to mimic the split in their relationship and how they have taken it. She is packing his things whilst he is still holding onto the memories. His shots will be eye level and close up to portray the emotion and allow the audience to identify with his feelings. Her shots will be low angle as to show her dominance in getting over what has become of them.
