Storyboard

 

The above shots will have many more different shot types to them such as close ups, birds eye view etc... The first shot with our character sitting amongst lamps is what the audience will first see, I believe it may lure them into the video and may make them want to continue watching this is due to how unique it is and also how well the lights switch on and off to the beat.

Her then sitting by the fire show's her in another location so it doesn't become boring but also amplifies her loneliness.

 

 

The use of the drums is to provide a transition between shots and also fits in well against the beat of the music.

 A shot of the field is then shown, its the first shot the viewer will have of a completely different location, as there will be no characters in the scene it will provide an eeriness.

 

A shot will then be used of the camera spinning via the characters point of view, this will allow a different perspective to the video, the audience would see the video through the point of view of the main character. The dog barking would fit in with the lyrics "never where the dog's bark" although when it came to filming we didnt achieve this shot.

A dinner table is mentioned in different individual points throughout the song and therefore we only deemed it as appropriate to include one in the video. I think it would be a good shot as it appears to present life in an abusive household.

It will then cut away to her running up a hill, this shows her trying to escape her life and becoming free, this is symbolic with her moving 'up'.

 

She is then shown looking down upon the city (Norwich) this places her above everyone and everything in the city, presents her feeling of power and freedom of escaping her home.

Her hand then comes forward to cover the lense, blocking out the mise en scene to the viewer so they are consumed by darkness, this works well as a transition to the next shot which is of her father.

A shot of her father standing in the doorway is then shown, he is comsumed in shadow this provies enigma to the character and a sense of darkness.

The shot then cuts away back to the dinner table were the male character (father) is shown shouting.

 

 

 The camera then zooms in on the leading character showing her emotion/reaction to the arguing happening around her. A transition is then used between that scene and the next so the viewer doesn't become bored by the same location in two scenes, after, the shot will show that the young girl has left the dinner table and taken the leap of faith to leave her home. That is explained further with the next shot presenting the girl running out of the house.

And the final shot will be of the girl outside and spinning and for the first time throughout the video smiling, she has her freedom.
