storyboard

This is the storyboard I created to help with my music video. However, as my video uses a montage narrative, I have only included several random images that we could potentially include. I thought it would be a great idea to use close ups of the leading female and leading males face as these are the two actors that the audience need to focus on the most.
 
A point of view shot could be used for a road trip as this puts the audience in the actors perspective and they may be able to identify with them. For example, the target audience would be people age 16-21 and people in this age category may have only just learned to drive or bought their own car.

I thought an image of Jill and Joel on the swings would be effective as this would result in the lyrics matching with the visuals, for instance the title of the track is used in the lyrics: 'Back when we were kids' This is  something many people used to do when they were younger - go to the park and play on the swings or slides. For this image, I think we should try and use a variety of camera shots/angles, for example, long shot, low angle, high angle, medium shot, close up, over the should and decided which camera angle looks the best.

A cafe/bar were the two actors are chilling out together and drinking coffee would be a lovely image to involve. It is also an inter-textual reference to the Tv Drama 'Friends' - they go to a similar place called 'Central Perk'. I think shot reverse shot would work well here, focusing on Joel then Jill as this still uses close ups and is done quite quickly, therefore the action will synchronize with the beat - fast paced. (Goodwin)

As the song is about growing up but wanting to be a kid again. I considered it to be a good idea to involve events that happen as teenagers grow up, such as going to gigs/festivals or concerts. Therefore, if we get the chance to go to a gig, I could film some of it and use it in the music video. For camera shots/angles, I think a panning shot would be very effective because the audience can watch the behavior of a variety of individuals and also close ups would be efficient.
