Our Storyboard.
Above are the images for our storyboard that we did for our music video of "Here Before" by Lissie.
We have stuck very closely to the original conventions of this song genre, which is indie folk, as we wanted the video to be true to its common trends that are seen in indie folk music videos. Some ways in which we have conformed to our genre is by having various shot types including, extreme-long shots, medium-longs shots and extreme closeups as well as more common shot types such as closeups and long shots. We have also used some variety with our camera positioning such as high angles shots and low angles shots and by using eye level shots. By using loads of variety of shots/angles etc we not only conform to the typical codes and conventions/trends, we also feel this is quite creative as there will be a lot to look at and it will keep the audience attracted to the video.
We have tried to be original and almost think outside the box for our video, this is seen through our use of focusing on the image such as shot 18, as there is a 'stick' in focus and the image of the girl is not but you can still see the girl moving in the background, this creates a ghostly atmosphere and we have not yet seen this in the indie folk videos that we have analysed, therefore it could be considered quite original and unique to our video.
In our video we have not challenged many conventions in the indie folk genre, however we have challenged the theories of Andrew Goodwin, by not using the theory of "Relationships between lyrics" and the "Relationships between visuals", we have also not followed his theory of "Notions of looking" which is quite common in indie folk videos.
We believe that our storyboard is very successful and it fits very well with our song, by also expressing the narrative and performance side of our video well and representing the genre and artist in a positive and typical light.
