This week we began making plans for key aspects of our video, and started storyboarding.
This is a list of the key aspects, such as costumes and locations, that will be used in our video.
The storyline...
The video will be about an ordinary man going about his usual daily routine, random, but positive events occur. When our character leaves his house after discovering he has no bread or milk, a piece of toast is handed to him, and later balloons will be handed to him. Other aspects in the story will include a busker playing a guitar riff and a man dressed as a bear. The theme of the video is that positive events will remedy the negatives that could have happened.
Why we chose this...
The Coral's videos are unusual yet quite simplistic, so we came up with a similar theme, but expanded on it with our own ideas.
Performance...
We are still completing our final ideas on the performance, but these are some we have decided on so far.
- bear pops up occasionally in the shots, "playing" the acoustic guitar
- the actors handing the balloons and toast sings along to certain parts of the song
Why we chose this...
A bear often appears in the Coral's music videos, so we wanted to continue this theme and there is often someone singing along in their other videos.
Our locations...
The video begins in his home, when he is getting up and leaving, and then continues in the streets of town, possibly on the city walls.
Why we chose this...
The Coral's videos are filmed generally in average streets/fields in England, and they all have a distinctive English look.
Our costumes...
For the main character - Converse, casually stressed jeans, t-shirt with some sort of design, dark casual cargo jacket
Busker - someone dressed scruffily
Bear - if we include the bear we will need to hire a bear suit
Why we chose this...
The main character will fit the stereotype of typical Coral attire, while the ideas of a musical bear came from the "Dreaming of You" video, where the bear was featured playing a trumpet.
I'd get some images to go with this part - shots of locations around town that you plan to use (maybe screen grabs from streetview?), sample costumes/characters, etc.
