This our storyboard for our music video. It consists of 11 scenes so about 10 seconds for each. For the first scene, the character is wearing every day but loose-fitting clothes so movement will be shown when she jumps. This starts out as a medium close up then transitions to a medium long shot. It is shot at eye level with bright lighting and is in slow motion. For the second scene, the character is wearing a semiformal dress while looking out into the sunset. It is a medium long shot and midway through the scene the character turns around so you can see her face. It is shot at eye level as well and will be shot in golden hour/sunset lighting. The third scene is the character still in a semiformal dress opening the door to a "restaurant". This is a POV shot that is a medium shot and has darker lighting. The fourth scene is inside the "restaurant" with the character sitting down at a table eating. It is a POV shot from her love interest's perspective and will have dim lighting. To transition from the fourth scene to the fifth, an action match of passing something like salt basically from one scene to the other. This scene contrasts with the previous one, as the character is now in sweats and a t-shirt with a messy bun. She is eating fast/microwaveable food in this shot and it is shot in bright lighting. The sixth scene starts off as a POV showing the female character angry then transitions to a two shot midway through the scene. In this scene, the audience finally sees who the male character is with a long shot of both characters dressed in normal/casual attire. In the seventh shot, it transitions back to a tracking, long shot of just the female character walking away, still dressed the same. In the eighth scene, the female character is still walking away (dressed casually) but it is a POV shot showing the male character reaching his hand out to make up with her. It is a long shot as well and will have fairly light lighting to be able to see everything that is going on. The ninth scene depicts the female character turned around grabbing the male character's hand. This is a POV shot that is a medium close up and is shot in fairly bright lighting with casual clothing. The tenth scene is a close up of a sunflower just below the character's eyes. She is wearing the same semiformal dress and it will be done in fairly bright lighting. The eleventh and final scene is an aerial shot of the character laying on the trampoline. She is dressed in the semiformal dress surrounded by fairy lights and sunflowers. This will be done in fairly dim lighting. For the sound, the whole time the song "Sunflower" by Post Malone will be playing in the background. The music video will be around 1 minute and 10 seconds long. Overall for editing, we are going to experiment with it and most likely try to make the cuts between scenes the least choppy as possible by using camera movement and "tricks".
