Final Music Video

Here is (hopefully) the final version of my music video!!

 

Initial storyboarding and changes

I recently found these drawings in an old folder. They are my initial storyboards from the beginning of the process, which detail how I originally thought the plot line and the movie itself would turn out.

In the end, the majority of this storyboard was changed so it is somewhat obsolete, but I thought it may be beneficial to upload it so the massive changes between the start of the process and the ending point are apparent.

The major differences are the form and the amount of information left in the piece.

Originally, the 'trip' sections were going to be wholly segregated from the awake sections, and there was going to be multiple awake and tripping parts, but the feedback I got showed that the beginning scene wasn't capturing enough - it was too boring and left nothing to the imagination. From this feedback, I decided to partly merge the tripping and the awake section together, but still have a discernible difference between the two: in the awake part, there is a central 'plot line' of the girl arguing with her friend, then taking the drug, then going to sleep, whereas in the 'trip' section, there is no plot and it is completely abstract.

Also, a lot of the plot had to be cut due to not being able to film enough footage for each section. For the film I have got, there is hours worth of raw footage, so by doubling the length - like the original was planned - it would just be far too excessive.
