Animatic Storyboard

The animatic follows the story that we wish to do in our music video. We made sure that the timing was all accurate and the shots go with the beat of the music. We believe that this is as accurate as it can be although something we would improve would be the images because sometimes they lack detail. We will be relating back to our animatic and the lyric breakdown when filming to keep on track and to know what we have filmed and what we need to film.

Lyric Breakdown

The lyric breakdown shows what we are exactly going to do on each line of the song. This makes it easier for us when we are filming and editing the footage as our group will know where to slot each clip in and will make the lip syncing easier.

Narrative starts with boy and girl ending their relationship and girl walking away, as the pace quickens it cuts to studio to show a band.
