Creating our Storyboard

Once completing our timeline and discussing possible studio layouts. We began to construct our storyboard. We decided to divide the song up into sections with a simple story running through it (a girl escapes from jail, through a tunnel to the top of a rooftop where she then escapes by a helicopter). It took time to construct the storyboard as we knew we needed the camera angles and shots (low-angle close-up on the eyes, hands and lips etc.) to create the powerful star image of our female lead singer. We also wanted the shots of the all male band to further this idea of the female lead’s dominance and power. However, we also wanted to use fast jump cuts and creative shots to emphasis the upbeat tempo and lightness of the song which would enable our band, and the song to appeal to a wide demographic.
