Drawing of the story board

Drawing of the story board.

These drawings will help illustrate our key ideas and our clear timeline for when each scene will be placed. This sequence will ensure the planning is precise and consistent in order to create our video quickly and easily as we will have planned each sequence clearly.

This story board illustrates the first set of scenes; the first 5 drawings are the scenes that will be repeated when the bridge repeats in the song. The other sequences will only feature in the video once as they relate to the lyrics that only occur once. We decided to have some shots repeat as it shows how it is a vicious cycle for him in his depressed alcohol state. We will change some of the shots in terms of the model that will be focussed on however they will be similar messages and the footage will all relate.

These scenes will only feature once in the song as they are for the verse. These shots are to highlight his state of mind as he is in a room full of people yet doesn’t appear to be happy or joining in. By using him walking alone it highlights his isolation which is reinforced by his behaviour at the party. We chose to have the boy in the bath then cut to the girl in the bath to highlight the fact she is always on his mind and that she is possible the reason for his depression and alcohol abuse. This is created as whenever he is shown to be depressed we show a clip of the girl which then flips back to the clip of the alcohol and the boy. This shows how the girl is the cause for his drinking and his depression as her clips are followed by these shots.

The bridge is what we are repeating which is drawn above. We will then have shots of burning photos to show his anger towards the past and his resentment towards how he feels because of this girl. We will then have them in the bath but focus in on their hands as they grip the side of the bath as if scared. This will be followed by a shot of the girl to show how he is gripping the bath due to thinking about her. She then grips the bath to hint to fear to question why she is no longer around as she is clearly scared about something. This something could be the reason for her never featuring in the video apart from in the boys memories.


























The last scenes will be from the bridge this is when the scenes are repeated as they are highlighting his addiction, the reason for his addiction, the way it is affecting him and the hint towards the repetition as the clock is shown throughout at different times. The video will end on a recording of the main girl fading out, this will hint towards her being dead or no longer in contact with the boy. The fact it ends on her highlights how it will never end in his mind as she is the reason for his drinking and she is the shot the video ends on.
