Journal 5

We have now moved on to making our storyboards and making our photo animatic. We started by going through the lyrics and writing on the sheet all of our ideas, and making sure we understand the song and what is about.

As a group we then decided what we wanted to do for the each of the verses and develop our idea from there and started to think about what effects we could use, so it will look effective.

Once our main ideas were down, we done our draft copy first. Our draft was okay, but it wasn't neat and very presentable and we also had to add more frames in because otherwise each individual shot would be too long once we started filming it. Then we done our main storyboard and made it neat and tidy and easily understandable. We then took photos of each individual frame and made it into a photo animatic and put the music on it to see how our music video would plan out. Our animatic needs minor adjustments but I think it will be effective.

Location

We then had discussed, as a group were we would like to locate the music video. In the original music video of torn the whole video is based in a flat. We are going to have flashbacks of when the couple is happy, so we will have to have many different locations. We had to think carefully and only think what is possible that we could achieve so we are going to have two main scenes they are in the park and in a house. 

The reason we have chose to use the park as a setting is because its a lonely place and its almost a cliche setting for couples to be, so she will be reminiscing looking at other couples being happy. Also, its easy to show her in pain because the woods can be lonesome.

The household shots will show when the couple is breaking up also it will show the woman on her own. The house is a good place to use as a location because their will be plenty of things to remind her of the 'good old times'. We will also have scenes maybe in a restaurant when the couple was going out to use in the flashbacks.
