Storyboard for music video

     Hey it's Aniyah, again! Today my group member was not able to help us form a storyboard because she was busy testing. But Stephanie and I executed the storyboard with great effort. We figured exactly what camera angles, camera shots, and movements we are going to do. We figured exactly what parts of the song we are going to use and what parts we are not going to use. We worked out what we are going to do in the music video and how it will connect to the theme of the song and the music video. The first thing we had to evaluate was what parts of the song are we going to use. In the beginning of the song it sounds very chill, than they go into the first verse, and than it goes straight to the chorus. We decided we are going to cut the first verse and go straight from the the first verse to the chorus.We came to a conclusion that it will be good transition going from a chill sound straight into an upbeat chorus. In the beginning, it is going to be a pan across the beach while the chill sound is going on with a three person shot of Lily, Stephanie, and I. 

      When the lyrics start, the camera is going to switch to a medium shot of Stephanie lip syncing to  few words, than we transition to a medium shot of Lily, and lastly a medium shot of me. When the chorus starts, it will turn into a wide, medium shot of Stephanie, Lily, and I lip syncing and dancing to the chorus. We will be doing a lot movements, since the chorus is very upbeat and all about having fun. We will doing different things to each of the lyrics in the chorus. When the song says "Ride the perfect waves" we will move to the ocean and it will turn into a tilt of us playing in the water. We are going to try to get a surf board or at least a mini surf board to use as one of the props in that shot. Than when the song says "say hi to the sky" we are going to change it to a high angle shot of my group and I laying on the sand and we are going to wave to the sky (technically to the camera). We are doing this because it really matches with the lyrics. Than a long angle shot of my group and I playing and throwing the sand. I have a good feeling the low shot angle will make the shot of the sand being thrown look really good. 

     After that shot, we will move into a zoom shot that will be a close-up shot of me and my group members and than zoom out into a wide shot of us on the beach. This will happen when the song says "It's a bikini wonderland." Than it will changeover to a high angle shot of us running and dancing around the beach and a pan shot of us dancing. This shot will include us dancing with our towels. We will have our background of this shot filled with people so our video can look full and whimsical. Than song ends off with it saying "Summer's on, and we've gone surf, surf crazy" and than there is a lot of instrumentals at the end. We will end it off with a little dance choreography and a nice wide shot of my group and I. We will leave it off with a nice fade out. That's all for today! Thanks for reading and blog you later!
