Lyrical Storyboard VERSION 2

(Opening note with strum of guitar)
Baby if you (close up of singers face) could would you go back to the (shot from stage left) start? (view from over the cymbals of the back of the singer)
(Another close up of singer's face)
Take any fresh (left to right pan of stage) steps or watch it all fall apart, again
Play another song here then you can  (close up of Sean's feet as he walks towards the camera, slowly panning upwards)leave (close up of Winona sat on sofa head in hands)
With your delicate wings, I use to weave (argument unfolds, shouting, arm gestures, angry expressions, shoving)

Maybe there's an under-tow here. (Sean stands up and starts to walk away)
Or maybe this is stuck up in the air (Winona throws cup/photo/glass at him)
I know how it looks but all that glitters ain't gold (shot of fingers on guitar/drummer/singer)

You gave me magical (as chorus kicks in, slow motion of thrown item smashing)
I gave you wonderful (View of entire band straight on)
Cut that invisible cord or I'll starve you of (Medium shot of the singer/bassist/cymbals)
What's understandable, let's make immeasurable (Sean walking away from the house/Winona sitting down crying)
Moves to the left or the right but not central cause (Longshot of band)

You gave me magical (Sean walking down a main road)
I gave you wonderful
Cut that invisible cord or I'll starve you of (Winona still crying)
What's understandable, let's make immeasurable (Band, shot from right)
Moves to the left or the right but not central cause (Winona sitting staring into thin air)

You gave me magical (Low angle shot, light in corner)
I gave you wonderful (Close up of guitar)
Let's make this biblical (Bassist)
And hang from our invisible cords (Drummer)

Baby if you could would you go back to the start? (Sean sat at home playing guitar)
Take any fresh steps or watch it all fall apart again? (Winona sitting drawing)

It could have been a wonderful year (Sean looks across and see's a photo lying on his table)
Instead we might not make it to the end (Winona see's the same photo on her mirror)
Everybody cares, but nobody knows (Both of them pick the photo up)

You gave me magical, I gave you wonderful (Low angle straight on shot of band)
Cut that invisible cord or I'll starve you (Drummer high angle)
Of what's understandable (Pan from right)
Let's make immeasurable moves to the left
Or the right but not central 'cause (Singer's face)

You gave me magical, I gave you wonderful (Sean folding the photo up and putting it in his pocket)
Cut that invisible cord or I'll starve you (Winona doing the same)
Of what's understandable (Sean putting on coat)
Let's make immeasurable moves to the left (Winona putting on coat)
Or the right but not central 'cause (Singer)

You gave me magical (Sean walking)
I gave you wonderful (Winona walking)
Let's make this biblical (Sean walking)
And hang from our invisible cords (Winona walking)

You gave me magical (singer)
I gave you wonderful (Bassist)
Let's make this biblical (Drummer)
And hang from our invisible cords (Winona looking at photo again)

Baby how can you walk away? (Winona looking at phot, walking onto millenium bridge)
Baby how can you walk away? (Singer)
Baby how can you walk away? (Seans feet walking/Winonas legs walking)

Baby if you could would you go back to the start? (Lights dim, just the singer)
Take any fresh steps or watch it all fall apart again? (Both of their feet standing directly opposite each other)

!!!!!!!MASSIVE UPDATE!!!!!!!!

I HAVE DECIDED TO CHANGE THE SONG I AM GOING TO BE MAKING A MUSIC VIDEO FOR.

DON'T WORRY! IT'S THE SAME BAND WITH A SIMILAR STRUCTURE AND SIMILAR SOUNDING SONG, ALL THAT'S REALLY CHANGED IS THE LYRICS.

WHEN WRITING MY STORYBOARD, I ACCIDENTALLY HAD THE WRONG SONG STUCK IN MY HEAD AND ENDED UP STORYBOARDING A VIDEO FOR THE WRONG SONG (STUPID I KNOW) BUT IT ALL CAME TO ME MUCH EASIER AND QUICKER THAN THE OTHER SONG, SO I'VE DECIDED TO STICK WITH IT. IT ALSO FITS BETTER WITH THE THEME OF THE VIDEO. SO THE NEW SONG IS......

*DRUM ROLL*

BIFFY CLYRO - BIBLICAL

I'LL STILL BE USING ALL MY LOCATION SHOTS ETC SO DON'T PANIC

'Walking Scenes' shots

Since a lot of the story side of the music video involves the two characters walking to a specific location, I took photos of numerous places which I thought would be good to walk through.

Location Scouting

I recently went out over to Newcastle City Centre to try and find some locations suitable for my video. Initially I was dead set on using the cliffs at South Shields but decided that was far too impractical to use (takes too long and costs too much to get there without a car).

I remembered a small little walkway which my Mam and I discovered when we were out one day, somewhere along the Ouseburn/Lime Street, so I used a map and figured out how to get there. It was absolutely perfect for the scenes where there's a lot of walking/thinking involved, so I will definitely be using that. There are also various paths/hills/staircases which would be good to use that I spotted.

I took photos of all of these and plan on uploading them very soon, as soon as I get my hands on the camera again.

Angle testing

Unfortunately when I went to take some test photos deciding what angles to use in my video, there was a huge projector screen in the way, so i used it to my advantage and incorporated it into the testing, as I plan on using some form of screen to add some lights to as a background anyways.

Long shots:

 

 

Medium (straight on/high angle/low angle)

 I didn't get any close ups today but I plan on getting some in the near future

Took a bite out of a mountain range, thought my teeth would break the mountain down
Lets go I want to go, all the way to the horizon
(Slow motion break up between young couple, arguing, pushing, aggressive gestures, cup falling to ground and smashing in slow motion etc)
Took a drink out of the ocean and, treading water before I drown
Lets dive, I want to dive, to the bottom of the ocean(First shot of band, focus on singer singing to camera, then switching between other members)
Took a ride, I took a ride, I wouldn't go there without you
Lets take a ride, we'll take a ride, I wouldn't leave here without you

(Boy walking away, medium shot, angered expression, trashing surroundings. Girl breaking down crying)
I am the mountain
I am the sea
You can't take that away from me
(Close up of mic facing the singer, after "away from me" quick cuts between 3 shots for the 3 snare hits, some shots of drummer and bassist)I am the mountain
I am the sea
You can't take that away from me
(Moving shot in a semi circle from left to right of band)
'Cause you tear us apart
With all the things you don't like

You can't understand, that I won't leave
'Til we're finished here and then you'll find out
Where it all went wrong

(Boy sat on bed, playing acoustic guitar, can't focus, sees photo of him and girl at specific location, puts on jacket and walks out the door)
I wrote a note to the jungle and
They wrote me back that I was never crowned
King of the jungle so, there's a end to my horizon
Took a ride, I took a ride, I wouldn't go there without you
Lets take a ride, we'll take a ride, I wouldn't leave here without you
(Girl on phone to her friend, crying her eyes out, walking around her room until she sees the same photo, pauses, puts on her coat and walks out the door)
I am the mountain
I am the sea
You can't take that away from me
(Shots of drummer, close ups of guitars then long shot of band.)
I am the mountain
(Boy walking through a street onto a field)
I am the sea

'Cause you tear us apart
With all the things you don't like
You can't understand, that I won't leave
(More shots of the band, getting more and more energetic, "wont leave" close up of drum fill)
'Til we're finished here and then you'll find out
Where it all went wrong
(Boy runs fingers through his hair, holds photo in front of him, removes it to see location in the background)
Nothing lasts forever,(Screaming into microphone) except you and me (girl walking towards the edge of a cliff)
You are my mountain, you are my sea (Slow motion of band)
Nothing lasts forever, between you and me
(Boy putting photo back in his bag and walking forwards)
You are my mountain
(bassist)
you are my sea
(boy carries on walking, girl sits down)
I am the mountain
I am the sea
You can't take that away from me

I am the mountain
I am the sea
(Boy reaches top of hill and sees girl sat on the edge, goes up and sits next to her)
I am the mountain
I am the sea
(Her hand rests on his, cut to black)
