Our Plan

This is the plan for our music video. The storyboards will be put up later along with the shot list.

Acoustic Intro

Shots of band setting up- from low angle, shallow focus etc. Until real intro. Use unusual angles until song begins properly. In music studio.

Intro Change

Film effect, reel running out.

Real Intro

Band playing, mix of close shots and medium-long shots. Shots of boy walking through York writing with his head down as he walks.

First Verse

Boy and girl bump into each other (writing on paper so he doesn’t see). Shots of them looking at each other mixed with shots of the band. Boyfriend comes over and grabs girl, walking away.

First Chorus

Band shots, reaction shots of girl and boy. Shows boy looking back down at his paper when she’s gone and continues writing.

Second Verse

Sees girl with boyfriend (boy is writing again) but doesn’t go over. Second time he sees girl they are on their own so he goes over. Set in museum gardens.

Interlude

Shots of the boy and the girl hanging out. Boyfriend finds them, yells at boy and drags girl away. Fewer band shots in this section. York city centre. Girl pushes boyfriend away, texts boy to meet up. More band shots, longer.

Last Chorus

Boy sat in field with guitar writing, girl walks up. Plays a song to girl, band shots and close up of singer as he sings into the mic. Close up of boy as he takes off his glasses revealing the singer and the boy to be the same person. Shows pad of paper boy has been writing on and it has the lyrics of the song ‘Running from Lions’ on it.



It has been fleshed out since but this is our essential plan for the video.
