Performance Storyboarding

I have now concluded all my research into digipacks, artists, directors, generic conventions, genres and my target audience. I have begun to plan the filming of the performance element of my video, I did this by creating a large storyboard with pictures and annotation to visualise exactly what I will be doing, how the shot will look and what kind of camera angle I need to use.

I have used a variety of images to demonstrate what I want my video to look like, I have planned to do a time lapse for the opening of the video, running into an establishing/ wide shot. The video is then a mixture of shots typically associated with the genre, close up sequences of the artist playing and of the keys, extreme close ups, mid shots, side angles, over the shoulder shots and panning of the landscape to create an effective video.

This element of the video has no storyline and is purely performance based to focus on the artist, and ensure that he is the main focus of attention. The setting is romantic, which I feel reflects the nature of the song and will match what I have envisaged for the narrative sequence. In the same way that another artist may lip synch to their music video, my artist will pretend to play the piano as the organ cannot be played without a power source - and I will layer the song over the video footage that I will take, for the full effect.
