Updated Storyboard (Liam Parkinson)

Below you can see our final adaptations to our storyboard and genreal plan for filiming our video.
The narrative and whole story of our video has stayed the same since the begining, a young boy who only cares about skating and pretty much doesnt want to grow up. Time seems as if it is moving quickly and he doesnt want to grow up. That is the basic story to our video.

After updating our first storyboard we decided to film john and his mother arguing about him needing to grow up and get a job etc. at the begining of our video as a sort of pre song introduction. We have now scrapped this idea and went with the original sunset start. This is because when we watched our clips we had of this scene we thought it looked very cheap and unproffesinal. Also we had scenes in at the end of john (our character) going to a job interview. Again we thought this took up way to much time in our video and when we watched it back as a group we thought it was quite depressing and boring, and thats not what this genre is about.

John preparing for job interview

Therefore, Once again we sat down as a group and discussed what we could do. We all agreed after conversation that we had lots of skateboard clips of john and his friends & amsterdam music festivile filmed by jacob on his trip away. We looked at videos from our genre once again and thought we would keep out whole story of wanting to skateboard and not growing up, but portray this in a way which is not boring and without scenes of acting out job interviews etc.

Interview scene which we took out

We drew up our storyboards again and this time, used 3 main points of attention Liam (The artist), John (the boy who doesnt want to grow up) & Johns friends (The skateboarders). We decided to use lots of shots of Liam lip syncing from various angles and quick shots alternating with eachother. This we agreed will keep the audience engaged, as it is a constant change and not the same scene for longer than 5 seconds.

Overall we now believe we have finally found what our video was missing and can begin putting it together and get the remaining shots we need in this last week ready to show our video with the class.
