Planning the shoot. 'creating the artt'

We enjoy our work, editing on the mac.
This is the wall we are using for several shots, mainly the opening scene. The bare brick fits with our vintage/antique theme and adds to our mise en scene.
Main setup
We are using this vintage red leather sofa in the majority of our shots as almost a focal point to the video. We will feature a number of shots on this sofa as we think it looks cool and adds to the representation we are putting forward of old and vintage.

We've recnsidered the aspect of the cupboards in the corner of the wall as we think they look a bit to modern for the 1950's theme we are going for, for this reason we are moving the sofa and lamp to the other wall.

These are just a few of the angles we intend to use in the video.



High angle- risking life and limb from a beam
Storyboard beginning sequence:
This is the initial shot of the video, immediatley illustrating our theme of vintage with this antique portrait. The brick also adds to the representation.
Zoom in of the portrait.
Transition to a mid/high angle shot of lead singer sitting next to old stereo and tapes etc.
Puts tape in, the tape being the song that we are actually using. Once tapes in the song starts with no bass and low volume to make it feel as if the music is coming through the headphones on the stereo. We are aiming to create this effect on the macs.
Full volume and bass then comes in once the head phones are put on and the proper song begins.

Straight shot of lead singer, he starts to smile and nodd.
His head goes out of shot, and then comes back up with the horseman mask on (not shown in the picture). This introduces the audience to horseman as a vital part to the video.
Med/long
There is then a long drumming and guitar sequence in the song where we will feature close ups of both the drums and the guitarist (shown below). These will be face paced shots, making the transitions no longer than 2 seconds apart.

Med drumkit shot 80's :)
We will show closeup shots and med's of the guitarist depending on the part of the song.


The cut shot figure movement will match the pace of the music and create a quirky rough image.
These three pictures on the sofa show an effect we intend to use, with the lead singer looking as if hes moving along the sofa, this will be done by pausing the camera. This will again be done in the pace of the song.

The outside element adds a random quirky edge, also the cobbled courtyard fits with the mis en scene from inside.
