Storyboards

These are our storyboards, which will be used when we head out filming to plan our shots

The first three shots are establishing shots, used as we zoom in towards the house where our star is asleep. The fourth shot is the first sighting of the star, who is asleep in bed, and as an alarm is played he will wake up and start to get up. In the sixth shot, we see an abrupt cut to him coming down the stairs, before entering the kitchen. The camera will then zoom in on a noticeably empty bread bin.

On the second sheet, our first shot sees the star frustrated by his lack of breakfast, but by the second, the issue is overcome by a second character handing him a piece of toast, from which he takes a bite and rapidly discards it. In the song, there are lyrics about heading to a shop, so our character goes to a shop, and no sooner than he closes the door, it opens again, and he reappears with arms full of shopping. The first introduction to the two other characters that feature throughout the video appear in our 16th shot, sat at a bus stop, where our star joins them.

In the 17th shot our character is looking for a bus ticket, and when he cannot find one, the camera zooms in on his disappointed face. However, in the following shot, he spots a ticket under the bear paw, and is able to use this to get on the bus. We see an extreme close up of his happy face, before zooming out and finding he is in town. The character walks down the street with the bear and the busker following, before turning a corner, where the others continue to follow him.

Our character continues his journey through town, and eventually comes to a telephone box, where the bear is stood inside on the phone. The group then arrive at Clifford's tower, and start dancing on the slopes, before the final shot features the group saying good bye, where the bear high fives our main character.
