Story Board

The first initial shot will be taken using a variation of both P-O-V and over the should shots both using high angles, while the protagonist opens and reads the letter. A sudden cut to a medium close up, using a low angle will then be used to set the scene ready for the flash backs to take place. This segment of footage will take up around 10 seconds

These pieces of footage will be used to create a background story for the couple in a swift way to allow the viewer to sympathise with the protagonist. I plan to use medium shots to allow the viewer to feel as if they are standing back from the situation and have a full scoped image and understanding of the characters pasts. These shots will alternate with constant cuts back to the male protagonist to present his emotions as memories flood back to him.  This segment will take up around 15 seconds

As the protagonist reaches the end of the letter another over the shoulder shot is used to finalise this section. A cut to a wider angle shot is then used as the female protagonist leaves as he watched helplessly through the window. This presents to the viewer that the female seems to be the more dominant controlling individual in the video. This point is also supported by the fact even though a male protagonist is used, the vocals are sung by a female. As the intro of the song nears the end the protagonist leaves in an emotion filled outburst using low and shoulder level angles , slamming the door behind him to present his anger. This segment will take up 10 seconds

As the lip syncing scenes begin, tracking is used to give a feeling of walking away from the protagonist to try and give a point of view similar to the female who currently isn't present in the scenes however due to the tracking it is evident the male still wants tot chase the female to revive their relationship. This section will last 20

This section is a continuation of the preview set however, a quite tricky shot is involved featuring a change in setting which is made of a 360 spin which is explained more clearly above.













This final section of the lip syncing scenes consists of the realisation of how hurt full his former partner was and this is done through the use of a prop, a photograph which is consequently ripped in anger. Both close up and wide angle shots are used to mirror is swaying emotions. This section lasts for 10

During the build up to the drop and during, jars are used containing tea lights which represent how he feels he is now just one of the hearts collected up and tossed away by his ex. The protagonists retribution is then shown during the drop as he begins to smash these jars to free his pain and potentially fix his relationship.

This story board may be altered during the shooting stage if any problems arise terefore this is only a simple guide for my production piece.
