Difference to Last Years Project
This years project is to film a music video for an unsigned bands song. This is very different to the AS Level project as then we filmed the opening to a thriller. This year I also worked on my own whereas last year I worked as part of a group. This meant that the sole ideas and direction of the project would be my own. This is very different to last year as part of a group we were all able to contribute numerous ideas to the project.

Shot List
This post will be explaining the shots that will be used in my music video and how they will be portrayed to the audience. This will also be shown through a storyboard which will be developed into an anamatic. This helps to show and develop my ideas as it displays the music video in a different way.
1. The first shot will be a close up of the guitar being held by the guitarist of the band. This will be and extreme close up and show the start of the song as he begins to play the guitar.
2. The second shot again shows the main guitarist with the focus again on the guitar however this shot will not be as zoomed in and will just be a medium close up. This will interlink with the previous shot as it will zoom out from this.
3. The lead singer is then shown and the rest of the band is also seen in the background this is just a medium shot with the main singer the focus. A close up is again used for this as he is tapping his foot to the beat of the song.
4. The drummer is then shown as the drums are introduced in the song with a close up used. This is when he begins to play the drums lightly with the shot looking straight at the drums. This shot will slowly zoom out before moving on to the next shot.
6. This is then zoomed out to show all three members of the band with the use of a medium shot as the introduction of the song is playing. They are again playing to the beat of the song.
7. The next shot is when the lyrics come into the song as a close up of a man waking up in bed is shown. When he is awake he then sits up to move onto the next shot.
8. He then looks at the clock with an over the shoulder shot used as he is sat up in his bed. As he looks at the clock an extreme close up of the clock is used zooming in from the shot.
9. There is a fade as a medium shot is then used which shows him standing in his room as he has just gotten dressed and is ready to go.
10. The next shot then shows a long shot as the man is walking out of the front door. This shot is taken from a backward view.
11. There is then the previous shot but this shot is taken from outside the door showing the person walking out the door with again a long shot used.
12. A long shot is then used to show him walking down the street this shot is taken from behind. The camera is gradually zooming in toward him during the shot.
13. This shot is then shown again but this time is shown from the front. This shows him coming towards the camera with a close up used as he approaches the camera.
14. There is then a shot taken from across the road as he is walking with the camera moving with him making this a tracking shot.
15. The shot then switches to a point of view shot which shows him walking as he gets to the end of the street and turns the corner with the camera showing this from before and after he turns the corner.
16. The next shot instigates the start of the chorus therefore switches to a close up of the lead singer lip syncing.
17. The next shot then shows a close up of the drums being played. The shot then zooms out from this to get a medium shot of the drums.
18. The next shot shows the whole of the band during the chorus as the lead singer is again lip syncing. A close up of the the lead singer lip syncing is then shown.
19. Following from the previous shot of the whole band the camera then zooms in for an extreme close up of the lead sing still lip syncing as the chorus comes to an end.
20. There is then a brief guitar solo which in this shot shows the whole band with a medium shot used. This interchanges from the shot of the whole band to a shot of the guitarist.
21. The camera then zooms in to the guitarist to show a close up of the guitar. This is a shot that is used a number of times during the guitar solo. However the shot is used from a range of distances.
22. As the next verse begins the main actor is again shown walking however he is coming towards the camera and the background behind him is gradually becoming darker. This indicates that he has been walking all day and is seen as having no direction.
23. The next shot then follows the previous shot as he is walking in the dark and this shows a number of fast shots of this from various angles.
24. There is then a number of shots which switch from the previous shot of the actor walking to then show the band as the verse comes to an end and the chorus begins. This will include a wide varirty of camera angles and movements.
25. The different shots will be shown throughout as the chorus is repeated at the end of the song with fast paced editing used with a range of band shots to show them playing and lip syncing.
26. The song then comes to an end with the song gradually slowing as the lyrics stop to show the actor as he ends up back at his house where the video began.
1. The first shot will be a close up of the guitar being held by the guitarist of the band. This will be and extreme close up and show the start of the song as he begins to play the guitar.
2. The second shot again shows the main guitarist with the focus again on the guitar however this shot will not be as zoomed in and will just be a medium close up. This will interlink with the previous shot as it will zoom out from this.
