Planning Catchup

I will be going away now for a week trip on behalf of my Geography A2 course, so its essential I plan what is needed to be done when I get back to make sure I can catch up and keep to my deadline. When I return I need to start analysing 3 digipak front covers and along with 3 album posters so I can gain influence and understanding of conventions and elements so I can make too, a successful Digipak and Poster. I will hopefully be able to finish my analysis of Digipak's by the first week i return and the poster analysis's the following week, this will allow me time to mock up and create those products ready for the draft internal deadline.

Draft Animatic

  This is my first attempt at storyboarding my music video, I think I may make some changes, introducing different camera angles being the main, but allot of my ideas of shots and such I can't quite create, so I will produce a voiceover (much like a directors cut) of my main ideas.

Getting Ready To Storyboard

Before storyboarding its essential that I know what camera angles and different scenes I'm interested in doing. As I want to do a purely performance based video I won't have any scene changes, but the use of many different camera shot, angles and movements are essential. Therefore I've started listing all the different shots (of different objects/people etc) which I could use throughout my video, these being rough ideas so when storyboarding I have a main idea of what the shot needs to look like.

Lyrics

This post shows the lyrics throughout the song and the timing of each line, this is important when starting to storyboard as I can therefore see the moments in which new lines start/end, the seperation from verse and chorus etc. I've also made some brief annotations about different instumental parts e.g. guitar and drums and they may therfore need visual emphasis.
