Tomorrow's Plan

Tomorrow, our group plan to finish the storyboard for our band shots along with the shot list for our trip to London. Fingers crossed everything goes to plan.


Animatic

Today I created the animatic for our group's music video using Premiere Pro. I simply used a digital camera to make individual photos of the storyboard and then importing these images into Premiere Pro on my school's Mac computer, Here is the final animatic.

Shot List (Band Scene)

This is the shot list for the filming that will be taking place on Wednesday 30th September. The minimum amount of shots we plan to take is twelve, however as we go through the filming process, more may be added due to any ideas we may have. As there is only 4 of us in the group, I put together a band consisting of myself and 3 other friends (David, Samuel and Jordan), whilst the rest of my group prepare the room, set up and film the scene.

Title:     Red Emperor – Kink In Your Soul


Synopsis:

Music video for ‘Kink In Your Soul’ by Red Emperor.
The video will start off at a friend's house party in which everyone's enjoying themselves and having a good time. At this party there is a boyfriend and a girlfriend who came together as they both know the host. As soon as the girl turns her back on her boyfriend, he starts talking to anther girl and becomes very intimate with her in the corner. The boy doesn't notice that his girlfriend is watching him and takes the girl upstairs to get even more intimate. The girl sees this and becomes fed up and upset so she begins to drink her sorrows out till she passes out on the couch. Someone notices this and escorts out the house where she is tld to go home. But instead of going home she takes the bus and goes to Westminster and travels to the places where her and her boyfriend had their best moments. Whilst she walks through London drunk she has so many flashbacks that she ends up breaking down lying on the bench of the train station. The boy, who found out about his girlfriend getting angry, starts to follow her to London but doesn't catch up to her till he sees her in the train station and tries to offer her a coffee to calm her. She takes the coffee but rejects him.










Key Genre Conventions:

Our moodboard for this video illustrates that the target audience for this video should be young adults with a keen interest in indie rock. It’s sub-genre so it appeals to a lot of the audience who don’t want to follow mainstream trends. The video will be part-performance, part-narrative showing some band scenes whilst showing a story
