Planning Storyboard for my Music Video

 SCENE 1: In my music video I plan on playing 2 separate characters. The first character will be a girl struggling with body image. She will be looking at women with the "ideal" body type on her laptop.

SCENE 2: The first character introduced, will be eating an orange in this scene, which is a very important part of the Music Video. Later the audience will see this is the only food she eats. 

SCENE 3: The second character in the MV is the girl's friend, and she peeks in to see her sad friend, the second character wears a face filled with worries. 

SCENE 4: The first character in this scene looks in the mirror and grabs at her skin, she's insecure with her body. She is comparing it to the "ideal" body type.

SCENE 5: The friend comes in to comfort her and assures her that her body is perfect the way it is. In this scene, the laptop will show women with different body types. LYRICS: "your body is imperfectly perfect, everyone wants with the other one's working..."

SCENE 6: Since it's extremely unhealthy for her to base her whole diet on solely eating oranges, the friend convinces her to throw the oranges away. This will start a new chapter in her life, and she will start to eat real food. LYRICS: "no more orange juice".

SCENE 7: *in the storyboard drawing I switched up the order of the scenes because I was still deciding on what's best for the MV structure, that's why there are arrows on the sheet* In this scene, I plan on having a closer shot on the face to emphasize on the despair the character feels. Also, the background will appear to be spinning, to resemble the chaos crowding the mind of the character. It's like the transition of the character being sad and then becoming happy.

SCENE 8: After becoming happy and accepting the beauty of her body, she starts to eat. I plan to make a montage of her eating and it leads into the next scene.

SCENE 9: The girl loves her body and gains confidence after eating. On the laptop, it shows herself looking at body positivity articles to show her character development.

SCENE 10: This scene will be from the point of view of the second character, I will attempt to use a fisheye lens to make this illusion. Her friend sees her as perfect and beautiful just the way she is. LYRICS: " I wish that I could give you my set of eyes, cause I know your eyes ain't working." 

SCENE 11: The recovery is a long process so she goes back to her old ways in a vulnerable moment. She looks around to see if her friend is looking and then proceeds to take oranges out of the trash can.

SCENE 12: Her friend walks in catching her in the act, with the oranges in her hands and they might throw the oranges away again. ( I haven't decided yet.) Then after it will show the two talking and being happy. 

Scenes 1-6

Scene 7-12

Genre Research: Drama

  Before hand, I did extensive research on the drama genre. I did this in attempts of finding the perfect genre to use in my final draft. What's so cool about drama movies is that, many films fall under this genre. Moreover, conventions in drama movies are very broad. Movies that are considered action, adventure, or even comedy can also have drama aspects in it. The genre is just extremely broad and its so much you could do with it. The powerpoint attached is a project I did featuring common elements used in dramas. Not only did I have to research these common elements but I used my experience from watching movies from this genre to help me out. Naturally, I lean more into liking drama movies. So you could say I have some sort of bias toward this genre but I'm not sure if I want to use it. I think it wouldn't be the right genre for the type of movie I was planning to do.  Dramas tend to focus on the dialogue because the storyline/plot has to be really dominant in these mo...

Title Research: Zodiac

Image
   This is from the website "Art of the Title":  www.artofthetitle.com What titles are displayed during the opening sequences? The name of the actors. The directors and producers. What images are prioritized in the opening sequence? The opening sequence is showing the life of the apparent, main character. Also, his surroundings so the view of the city and where he works. We get a good view of the office. What connotations do these images carry? We see that he's a dad and that he's pretty content with his job. Although, he seems like he doesn't have any friends. This is a neutral connotation. How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset? Thriller movies keep the audience guessing. I assume things like where he works and what city he resides in, are significant to the plot. Maybe a little bit of foreshadowing.  What strategies are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience? The movie is starting off pretty calm and it introduces t...

Filming & Editing Blog: Getting Started

Image
Before I start to film or edit, I have to get a few things into order. For example, I don't have all my props yet. The props I still need are a calendar, a cake, and headphones. In order to get these things, I had to ask my Dad if could he take me to the store. Unfortunately, I haven't had the opportunity to go to the store yet but my Dad said we could go tomorrow. As soon as I buy my calendar I'll get straight to work. I'll mark it appropriately based on each individual scene and record it. I want to get everything out of the way so I could finish in time and not feel too rushed with everything. This is such a big important project and all the weight is on my shoulders because I feel pressured to make it perfect.  Without any help, this project has been a challenge but I won't let that get to me. Additionally, when I get the cake I will record all the scenes that involve it as soon as possible. Buying this cake is a win-win situation, I need it for my project and a...
