My storyboards show my original shots for my first draft of my production. However for my second and final production i made added more shots of the older woman looking through photos to make the narrative more prominent and clearer, therefore this storyboard does not show the final product but it does highlight my idea and many of the shots that are still in the final production.

Location 1 : Burbage woods I chose this location because it is safe with high key lighting, due to the open space; this links to pop music videos with a happy feel to them, so by using this location I aim to create the same mood. This location will be used at the beginning of the video for the first string of the narrative; all performers will be seen in this location. Location 2 : Outside of house I chose this location to help show/explain the narrative to the audience and make it more understandable. Here I will show the older women looking in on the home and then switching to the younger teenager running towards it. Location 3: House garden I chose this location to link to my narrative - this will be her childhood home when she is looking back on her memories. This location is also safe and has high key lighting. I will show the group playing football and dancing in this location. Location 4 : Living room - inside of house I chose ...

I chose all my characters to get a variety of male and female characters and a variety of age ranges to represent two different social groups. 5/6 characters are between 17-18 which helps to target the ideal audience of the brief (16-25 year olds) and allow them to relate to the performers therefore it may be more enjoyable to the targeted audience/age range than to other watchers. The older woman (Karin) represents someone from a different social group to the 17/18 year olds and also is a large part in the narrative - an older lady looking back on memories. All the performers know each other well so there will be a natural connection shown in the video - helping the narrative to look highly realistic due to the performers not acting/faking the friendship.  Liz Meg Luke Charlie Tori Karin

My costumes: All my performers will wear casual clothing with a pop of colour. This will fit the fun-loving audience brief and link to the pop genre throughout the use of colour to have connotations of happiness.  This will also help 16-25 year old viewers relate to the video through the use of recent fashion trends. For example: 1.  My male performers will wear blue jeans and a t-shirt ⇒ 2.  My female performers will wear jeans/trousers or a skirt with colour           within them. My Props: 1. Polaroid pictures = I will use these to help with the narrative. The first picture will show the teenage group in the spot where the older woman is looking- highlighting that this was her when she was younger. The location of the picture will be in the exact same spot that the woman is standing in (1st shot) and allow the audience to gain understanding for the narrative. 2. Polaroid Camera = This will be used in the different locations th...
