The Video! - Storyline planning

For the storyline within our music video, our group decided to plan what the story was going to tell before filming it, making the filming duties more specific, whilst making the outcome more realistic. We had many meetings previous to the actual filming and decided to make some planning sketches and storyboards as to decide which ideas we were going to use. We had many failed attempts in deciding as to what the story was going to entail, however we also had some success! Below are the storyboards we decided to carry through when filming our music video.

The two images (above) tell the story planned by our media group, split up into closer images to give a better view.

This final image is all the images in our story.

The first two images are close up images as to what our storyline will entail. The initial scenes show myself as the protagonist and Neelesh Joshi having a problem with each other, this is made clear by the fourth scene (roughly) which shows myself shouting at him and driving off in a mist of rage. The storyline has many ideas that, if filmed and edited correctly, could tell an interesting story keeping the viewer interested. 

The reason we decided to introduce a storyline into our music video was due to copious research that revealed viewers prefer to see a storyline as it adds diversity to the video. this is made clear through quotations like this;

"I enjoy music videos with a storyline. It always seemed to me that they became a compliment to the song and perhaps introduce in a whole new way, rather than just the typical music video featuring the singer just singing the song with a few dancers around them"
