StoryBoard Animatic

This is the storyboard animatic, it includes the track monster by the automatic and also includes our storyboard which we created to kind of get a feel of what we want to with our music video and what shot goes where, its a rough idea and may change in the real video but its a starting block and will help the filming run more smoothly and fluently as a kind of guide to our programme of what goes where in the music video.

Inspiration

This is the official video for No-one knows by queens of the stone age.

Much like ours, the video is both narrative and performance based. Although the video isn't based on monsters, it does involve a Dear kidnapping the band and driving them away in their truck. It is of a similar humor and take to our video.

Inspiration

This is the official video for Monster

As we are making a music video for this song we took major influence from the official video, without copying it exactly.

This shot shows a wanted poster of a monster pinned to a tree, we've used the idea of a wanted poster but in our video it gets posted through the door.

This shot shows one of the band members using a fishing net to try and catch the monster, we are also using a fishing net as one of our props.

This is a shot of the monster's foot. We will not be including a shot of the monster's foot in our music video, but we will be showing a footprint that the band find when they are searching for the cookie monster.

Mood Board

This is the mood board i made for an indie music video using Photoshop. The mood board contains pictures of bands in the rock/punk/indie genres, as well as album covers. The mood board show ideas for styles, themes and camera shots that we can take inspiration from in our music video, we also get an idea of what costume/mise en scene we will be using.

Risk Assessment

Shooting Schedule

This is our shooting schedule for our music video we have included, the number of shots, shot type, action and mise en scene. This will be crucial as this provides a outline of what our music video will consist of.

Primary Audience Research

This is our primary audience research using 5 participants asking about our chosen genre of indie, we wanted to gather information on other peoples thoughts on the genre. We established the particular kind of dress a indie style of person would wear, this includes jumpers, skinny jeans and plimsolls. We found out that people like narrative and performance based music video's but also found out that the typical props in the indie genre is a band performance which in including guitar's, drums, bass guitar's and keyboards. Indie style of clothing also consist of wearing sunglasses even though its not even sunny. So in our music video we will adapt these features to it and use the costumes and props which have been said in this short video on primary audience research such as skinny jeans and jumpers; we will also have the use of instruments of a typical band of guitarist, drummer, bassist, and a singer so we will incorporate this in our music video.

Permission Request

This is the permission request, which is were we ask the band and/or the band manager for permission for use of their song. We asked to use the song "Monster" by The Automatic by sending an e-mail to the manager of The Automatic. We made sure to say our video of their song would purely be for educational purposes and no profit would be made from our A2 media video. We stated our location and college so they would be able to contact us to let us hear their reply.
