Lyric Storyboard

As well as a picture storyboard, I have written up each line of the song, and paired them with the shots I will get to show a more detailed storyboard.
I have:

• Written the reference number on the left hand side for which storyboard number they go with so I can see what the shot is supposed to look like
• Explained the shot I will use and any props I will need
• Written which lyric it will be played with so I can try and get some shots to fit with the lyric
• Ticked the clips I already have, and I will keep this up-to-date on the shooting days, so I know which shots I still need to film
• Written how many seconds the clip covers, so I can get a few more shots if I need to cover more time of the song.
• Colour-coordinated each one so I know when I will shoot the clips

For example, for the 8th one, it is blue, meaning that I will film it on Sunday 23rd. It has a storyboard reference of 9, so I know that it fits with the 9th storyboard picture, which I can use for reference if I need to see how I want the shot to look. I have then described the shot I want, which is a guy pulling down the sleeves of his jumper, and then the camera cuts straight to a girl pulling down her sleeves, which I may edit as shot-reverse-shot. I have written next to this that the lyrics "use the sleeves of my sweater" will be playing when I edit the clip into the video. There isn't a tick next to it which means that I am still yet to film it, and I know that I only need around 3 seconds of footage as it lasts from 21 seconds to 23 seconds.

 

This storyboard isn't concrete, and the clips I film may change depending on what happens on the day of filming; this is just a guide for me, which will hopefully make it easier when it comes to editing my footage.
