Storyboard Practice Ke$ha

Last lesson we were looking how to improve our storyboarding techniques.
From storyboarding last year our group decided that to improve we should:
- Need to make our storyboard more detailed and precise.
- Should stick to the storyboard and not go off track.
- Over film therefore making it easier for editing and choice of shots.
- Change roles within the group.
- Be more organised when filming.
- Laminate the storyboard to protect it when were on set.


As a task we were asked to storyboard the first 30 seconds of a music video, our group chose to storyboard Ke$ha's - Tik Tok as it is from the pop genre. Here is our groups storyboard of Ke$sha's music video:

Storyboard Kesha
By doing this exercise I have learnt that it is alot better to storyboard properly and throughly. Last year when we were creating a film opening our storyboard was very basic and simple, however in just the opening 30 seconds of this music video there are 25 shots as well as multiple camera movements, shot types and editing techniques. Last year on our own storyboard we did not think of or include any of these details such as editing techniques, camera movements or length of the shots. I think our group generalised the storyline and shots of the film too much last year rather than go into detail of each shot.

This year we need to properly storyboard and have more precise and detailed descriptions shot by shot before we begin to film the music video. This will make it easier for us to film and be more prepared when we are on set.
