PICTURES OF STORYBOARDING ON LOCATION

Here are a number of still shots of us taking pictures on location for our storyboard...

A mid-shot image of the protagonist in the narrative location, the urban setting and low contrast lighting presents the despair she feels in comparison to the bright rural setting in the performance location.

Me on location, this is a rough idea of a shot where the protagonist would start to sing, we thought we could follow this with a pan arund to the a close -up shot of her face singing.

Emily on location, here she is demonstrating a wide shot we could use for our performance aspect of the video.

TREATMENT PRESENTATION

PLANNING

Our group creating a 'mind map' to display and help plan our ideas, we wanted to get our ideas on a page before we decided what to do and start our treatment. Once we have made the final choices we will start to storyboard them.

Our initial idea is to have a theme of Imagination Vs reality.

We would have an urban setting, quite derelict, lots of drinking, drugs a desperate feel to it. we felt if we over exaggerate the reality it would really contrast to the imagination element of the video. For this we would have a more, natural, rural location and setting, maybe in a woods or a park. We considered linking this idea with the theme of Alice in Wonderland including elements of this in the imagination part of the video. However we are not sure on this idea as it would be extravagant and difficult to film, so we are still mapping out ideas for our imagination element.
