R + P Post 21: My key shots storyboard

Above is our key shots shoot board. As we  are making a three minute music video, there is no point making a full storyboard because most shots will be shown for only a couple of seconds and not be major enough to include in our storyboard, therefore wasting our pre-production planning time.
Our storyboard includes 25 key shots which we have to get on our shoot days both in school and out of school for our narrative and performance scenes.

It is a very visual way of presenting our ideas and the post-it notes are colour co-ordinated with what type of shot they are. For example, orange post-its are CLOSE-UPS, green post-its are MID-SHOTS and yellow post-its are LONG and EXTREME LONG SHOTS.

We will be using this storyboard to refer back to on all of our shoot days and hopefully it will be handy in being able to show our actors quickly and effectively what they need to do. It will also help everyone understand what is going on at any time of the shoot day.

A large proportion of our shots are close-ups following the advice of Miss Blackborow. It is important to have a lot of 'beauty shots' and close-ups of the singer as this is a strong convention in music videos.
