Storyboard
Here is my first drafted storyboard.
As Esther begins to sing, the long shot cuts to a close up of her face. I will then cut to different locations on the beats. When the beats become faster, I will cut back to long shot and Esther will begin to dance. I will again, cut the transitions of locations on the beat of the music.
On 'Just Slow down', Esther will stop dancing, and begin to sing into the camera. At this point I will go back to a close up shot of her face.
The rest of the music video will consist of fast pace cuts and changes in location while Esther dances. I will aim to make the transitions as smooth as possible.
As you can see in my annotations next to my drawings, I have decided to keep my camera static throughout my music video. After much thought and careful planning, I decided that a static camera throughout would look best. I must have a static camera when long shots are used so the change in location can be seamless, however a static camera is not necessary during the close ups. But I felt that it would look unprofessional to cut from a moving camera to a static camera several times.
Most music video's feature moving cameras, therefore I am challenging typical music video conventions, however I am willing to take this risk as I believe I will the viewers interested by changing the locations regularly.
