Timeline #2...

After going through the first version of our storyboard, we edited it down and created a revised version with a slightly different storyline, it has a lot more content and we have included the element of a performance piece at the start, using a piano.

Timeline #1...

Here is the first attempt at a timeline for our music video...

Music Video Timeline...

To take the plans of our music video further, we started creating a timeline to organise the many jumbled ideas of our film into a cohesive order.
However we got halfway through and realised that the due to the nature of our film, it would be better to just produce a storyboard, as it was hard to vocalise the images into words. So we scrapped the timeline, and moved onto drawing out the storyboard.
Below are the scribbled remains of our struggling timeline...

Cast, potential actors for our video...

For our video we are looking for a boy, around the age of 17 (due to the fact that we are looking for someone within the school). Ideally he would in his early/mid 20s, so we shall just have to find someone who looks older that he is.

We want him to have an arty and vulnerable feel to him to match the fictional artist persona. I think that he would probably have a pale complexion with dark hair and a skinny frame. To show you the look we are going for, we compiled a list of models and existing artists who we think would suit the character of Peter.

Conor Oberst - Bright eyes

Asos model

Sam Riley - Actor

Joseph Gordon Levitt - Actor

After having a look around the school we have decided on 2 final options for the character of Peter, who we shall tell of our decision and organise the further details with them.

Letter to Warp requesting permission to use the track...

To whom it may concern,

We are a group of A Level students working on an A Level project for a qualification in Media Studies. We are writing to request permission to use the following track as part of this project:

Grizzly Bear - Foreground

With your permission the track would be used as the accompaniment to a short form video that is made purely for assessment purposes and will have no commercial usage. The video will be viewed only by members of the school community and the assessor of the examination board.

The artist and the copyright holder will of course be fully recognised in the pre-production and evaluation material that accompanies the project. We can also include a full copyright notice if required both in the planning material and on the video itself.

Yours sincerely

Anamatic storyboard...

Here is the anamatic storyboard we produced to outline the action of our music video.

Props List...

Here is the current working props list/mood board for things we will need for the video. We have also been looking into different styles of tutu for our ballerina scene which you can see below.
