Animatric (storyboard) music video

Here is my animatric music video which is based on my 1st storyboard which was created by my intial ideas for my music video. Due to my chosen song length; i had to cut out some parts of my original storyboard so the images and song will flow together - creating continuity and narrative development as the song plays.

Instruments in chosen song: Oblivion By Bastille

  • Piano/Keyboard/Synths


     

  • Acoustic Guitar/ Bass Guitar

  • Vocals

  • Drums









This can be linked to the Representation Theory - John Bergers 'Way of Seeing' - By showing images of these instruments is conveys the genre conventions of 'Alternative Rock'; so my audience will understand the ideology behind these images of instruments.

This is linked to Richard Dyer - understanding representations and ideologies through the media.
'How we are seen determines how we are treated, how we treat others is based on how we see them. How we see them comes from representation.‘ (Dyer 1983).
Representations help us understand the media text, and it helps us catergorise the ideology so we understand the meaning.
Tim o'sullivan et all (1998) - Ideology refers to the set of beliefs or veiws in a selcetive society which we all have the common sense of them. Ideology helps us make judgements about the world and the different veiws of people in within it.

This links to Tessa Perkins - Stereotypes - Since these instruments are a convention of my chosen genre; the audience will understand the genre immediately.

Location shots

Here are some test shots i have taken, referencing to my location ideas:


Pictures (left and below) are shots of the forest i will be filiming in; a public pathway to Hessle from North Ferriby. As seen in the shots; i will be filimg establishing shots and long shots of the the trees.
There is also a Tyre Swing present which will be used as a prop.


These are low angle shots (above and right) of the trees above and (below) a medium shot which all will used in my wood scene, these are also going to be used as establishing shots so the audience understands where the characters are and it will develop the narrative.


To the left, here is the female characters bedroom where i will be shooting in some parts of my video; as you can see by the posters on the wall this girl is in the Alternative Rock genre (Paramore Poster) and likes bands which are from that specific genre. The bedroom is feminine by the matching bed duvet with curtains. The dominant colour of this bedroom is red; this can connote the female character as passionate or fiery. The fact she has a double bed can connote to the audience that she does not sleep alone so she is in a relationship. Which will be seen by the audience in the narrative.


 As seen below, here are still images of the females bathroom where i will be shooting in my video also; it is feminine due to the pink matts on the floor, the shell toilet seat and the bathroom objects around the bath. The fact the bathroom is in white can connote to the audience that she is a protagonist character, or she is innocent and pure. The contrast against the white background with the female character will create focus on her by the audience.
