1.) We decided to start our video with a live footage of the band performing "Remember the Ruined", which was filmed by Hannah and me.
2.) Quick cut and close-up shot of Ian standing in front of a white plain background.
3.) Another quick quick cut and close-up shots of Robynne against a plain background. We want to include an element of the "Male Gaze" by possibly showing close-up shots of Robynne's lip and eye.
4.) Quick cut of live footage of the band to synchronise the music.
5.) Narrative footage of Robynne and Ian which would lead to their break up. In this shot, both characters are in the centre of the frame. The argument synchronise the diegetic sound.
6.) Some more live footage of the band to synchronise the sound.
8.) More live footage of the band to synchronise the diegetic sound, with more of Jame's "screamed vocals"
9.) Shot of Robynne kissing James on a bench in a park to synchronises Jame's clean vocals.
10.) We cut to more live footage of the band performing to synchronise the sound which might include the band "head-banging" (A key convention of the metal-core genre)
11.) Return to narrative of the burn out lyrics to synchronise the diegetic sound of "growling" screamed by James.
12.) A quick cut to live footage with more head-banging shots of the band.
13.) Ian carving the four letter word into his arm synchronises Jame's Lyrics. This shot would be filmed against a plain background to avoid any effect of colouring.
14.) Cut back to live footage of the band performing.
15.) More extended shots of live footage of the band members. Some of the band's fans might be included in this shot to demonstrate the metal-core life style and how the band relates to their audience.
16.) Quick cut to Ian's fully cut arm to synchronise the Jame's lyrics "carve the four letter word in to your arm".
17.) A final quick cut of Robynne walking glumly in the rain on an empty road
18.) The final shot is of the screen fading to black as the diegetic sound comes to an end.
After drawing our storyboard, one of the ideas we wanted in our music video as seen above is Ian burning up a paper with the lyrics written on it. Below as some papers Rebecca made by pouring hot coffee on it to make it look vintage. We included a vintage look because it is sometimes used in some metal-core music videos, and it could also be seen as a metal-core convention.
Each member in my group wrote out the lyrics in different colours and font size so that we could choose what works best when filming our video.
Start of Filming:
Due to different school schedules with the band members, we were not all able to go and film the narrative of our video. Rebecca went to meet some members of the band; Robynne, Ian and James on Friday after school to start our filming. She was able to film scenes including Robynne was breaking up with Ian in a park on a bench, and Ian walking off angrily. She also filmed some scenes of James and Robynne getting together in the same park where Robynne broke up with Ian. There were also scenes of them talking in the park and then walking off together. However, Rebecca wasn't able to film all of the plan we had on the storyboard such as individual footage of Robynne and Ian. We are either trying to get hold of the band again to film the missing footage if we can, if not we will improvise with what we have.
Below are some still images of the narrative Rebecca was able to film.
Robynne and Ian breaking up.
Robynne and James getting together
We thought that fire/ burning was an important metal-core convention from analysing other metal- core videos, and so we decided to fire into our own video. Rebecca was also able to film the shots of the lyrics burning up.
We were thinking of using the shot to start our video instead of in the middle because it adds and effect of mystery and uncertainty to the audience.
