Test Shots

Before we started to plan our music video we thought it would be appropriate to do a few test shots to see if they would be ideal to include in our music video. The test shots which are featured on the left hand side of the page illustrate a scene in our music video, which allows to see what works and what we would need to work on in order for our music video to flow properly.


The test shots also include the characters which we will include in our music video. This gives us an idea of how the characters will look like while acting and how we can improve on our scenes before we film the actual music video.

Story Boards of our video




These are our story boards which we have created to create an understanding of what we are after in our music video. Creating a story board will allow my group to see the camera angles and types of shots we are after. The story board also explains what my group are trying to aim for.

The next steps

So far, me and my group have filmed footage of our narrative and performance shots and have edited this into our music video. The next steps which my group need to follow is adding and filming more performance shots, and narrative shots which we will add to our video to complete our project. We will be changing the costumes of our performance shots and changing the way we frame our shots for more variation, planning this through story boarding and discussing and communicating with my group to gain the best outcome possible.


From researching different music videos of the pop/rock genre we will follow a similar story line. The song 'when your gone' is about loosing someone and what its like after they have gone, therefore we have so far added in a couple story line which turns into arguing. After this we are planning to add in a short brief story of a mother and daughter story line.


After this is complete we will then complete the ancillary tasks. In order to complete this we will research into different posters and CD covers which are already current, as well as our chosen song and take inspiration from the research we gained. Our poster and cd cover will represent our music company and the music video we have chosen to create.
