Storyboard

We created our storyboard with real images of what we are planning to film and some images from google images. We made it on Microsoft Publisher and when we had finished, we saved it as a picture and we have all uploaded it onto our blogs. This has a clear message of being rejected. The scene of Ally in the lecture theatre with images behind him of him and Shannon together happy shows that he is looking back on time of them two together and him now being alone. The dark lighting all around him shows the mise-en-scene of the sad and heartbroken mood of our music video.

We can refer back to our storyboard when we are filming, and we can change things if we need to.


In our rough cut, we decided not to use the clock scene or the scene of Shannon rejecting the phone call to show she is ignoring Ally. Instead, we added in scenes of Ally and Shannon together in the same settings that we showed Ally walking alone. This shows that he misses her and wants someone to love him. We also did not use the stage scene at the end, we added in a scene at the beginning where Ally is in his room playing a guitar. We did this because it showed a genre convention and it also portrayed a sense of loneliness because he is playing the instrument by himself. 


After our audience feedback from our rough cut, it was decided there was not enough rejection. So we added back in the scene of Shannon rejecting the phone call to make it very clear that she doesn't love him like her loves her. We came to the conclusion that this was the right decision because this scene emphasised how lonely and isolated the protagonist is feeling.
