Our Storyboard...

I have created a storyboard for the music video that our group is going to produce. The storyboard follows the synopsis previously posted which is that the story is based around photo day at school however some students are bored with the usual look and decide to have a boys vs girls food fight then turn up for their photo looking slightly different.
Shot 1: in the first shot a point of view medium close-up shot will be used of a student having their photo taken as part of a normal yearly routine, this shot will show a few students coming and going for their photo. There will be no instrumental sound for shots 1 and 2.
Shot 2: shot 2 will follow on from shot one with pupils still having their photo taken however shot 1 will cut to shot 2 as an extreme close-up of the pupils face as they turn to look at the door. Shot 2 will cut to shot 3.
Shot 3/4: The sound track now starts as extreme close-up shots show "normal" school pupils getting ready for photo day and the "experimental" pupils getting ready.
Shot 5/6:   in shot 5 extreme close-up shots of the students leaving their home will follow onto a panning shot of the 6 "experimental" students walking in a line.
Shot 7: this show will consist of a long shot of the forest to set the setting, this will also intrigue the audience as to what the students are doing there. Shot 7 then cuts to shot 8.
Shot 8: in this shot a medium, close-up shot shows the 6 students walking into the forest together. Shot 8 then cuts to shot 9.
Shot 9/10: a freeze frame will be used for these shots which will show each gender group and will consist of titles "The Girls" and "The Boys" in the shot.
Shot 11: the band are introduced in this shot which consists of a live performance where close-up shots of the band members and instruments will be used.
Shot 12: in this shot the food fight between the boys and the girls begins, extreme close-up shots of the food in the students hands and of features such as eyes etc.
Shot 13:  the band will appear again in this shot of them performing, again extreme, close-up shots, medium shots and long shots will be used to get an insight into the band.
Shot 14: a medium shot will show the group of students starting the food fight over the table, further extreme close-up shots will show food being thrown in each others faces/hair etc the characters will then start to run towards each other and progress further into the food fight, a green screen will be used to slow down the actions of 2 of the characters whilst the background will be sped up. When the food fight ends a medium-long shot will show the group walking away from the woods.
Shot 15/16:  Shot 15 will consist of a point of view close-up shot of the 6 students each having their photo taken on photo day after the food fight has happened, it will then cut to shot 16 which will again be a point of view shot but this time will consist of a medium shot of the group in a group photo.

On the shots that include the bands live performance the editing will increase in speed to fit the tempo of the music which should be of a fast instrumental/tempo. Transitions between shots will consist of cuts.
