Planning - Storyboard frame by frame rough plan

Storyboard plan from Luke Tiplady on Vimeo.


Frame 1/2:
These two shots will consist of a medium shot of Liam, the protagonist, looking out of his bedroom window. This shot will be edited to coincide with the initial chord strum of the song; additionally I have also considered superimposing a shot of a guitar strumming the guitar on top of the base shot. Following this, the next shot will be a close up of Liam's Stone Roses ticket, coinciding with the opening lyrics 'The Hardest Thing In The World'. Symbolizing the challenging he is about to undertake to reach the concert he has waited his whole life for.
Frame 3/4:
The first of these two shots will be a variety of shots; the first being a medium shot of Liam walking down his stairs, with the camera being placed at the bottom. Other shots will be a quick tracking shot of Liam's feet as he is walking down, a behind-the-back shot with a crane position being taken. I will use editing techniques such as action matching and the 180 degree rule to sync these shots as Liam is walking down the stairs.
The second shot will show Liam exiting his house through the front door with a low angle behind-the back shot showing his shoulder in the forefront of the shot and the sky in the back. This shot will match up with the lyrics, 'Searching for a perfect day, it never happens that way, a hey, hey, hey'.
Frame 5/6:
This shot will be a medium shot from within the car, showing Liam getting in the car. This will be a fairly short shot and will continue with the song in the background, with no direct link to the songs lyrics as seen in previous shots.
The second shot(s) will most likely be the longest sequence in the entire video. It will consist of shots varying in type and movement; an extreme long shot will be used from inside the car looking out the window, various close-ups of the protagonist with quick editing to match the quick drum beat in the song. This would ideally also feature a superimposed shot of the neck of a guitar playing the song above the base shots.
Frame 7/8:
The next two shots will take place at The Angel of The North (or Penshaw Monument) and will show the protagonist climbing the steps to the monument with a crane shot following him, followed by a low angle of the monument. The camera will then cut to a long shot of Liam at the base (or middle) of the monument playing the guitar; I chose to do this as it adds a sense of performance element, yet keeping the narrative in place.
Frame 9:
The shot will then cut to handheld footage of The Stone Roses concert I captured on my phone, perhaps with more superimposed shots of guitar playing or even the use of quick cuts to actual guitar playing in between the concert footage.
Frame 10/11:
These two shots will center around travelling on the road; the first will be a variety of medium shots of various road signs etc. to provide a sense of progress of time and distance in the video. The following shot will be a POV of the driver looking directly out of the front window, preferably with a GPS at the forefront of the shot. Once again I would like this shot to include some superimposed guitar playing.
Frame 12:
This shot will again be POV footage I captured from a Stone Roses gig.
Frame 13/14:
The next two frames will include a variety of shots. The first of which will be a close up of Liam's phone saying that the Stone Roses gig has been cancelled, this shot will include an action match edit of Liam opening up his phone. The following shot(s) will show Liam's distressed reaction to this news, however for this shot I would like to use some superimposed images of Liam's face on top of one another reacting to the news.
Frame 15:
The following shot will be a medium-long shot of Liam walking through a forest path, using pan movement. As Liam is walking, superimposed guitar playing will be used in tune with the chord strums in the song.
Frame 16:
Multiple shots of Liam playing the guitar, with close-ups used on the neck and body of the guitar.
Frame 17:
The final shot will be a static medium-long shot of Liam approaching the arena that the Stone Roses are playing at, Liam will be shown walking around the arena with quick cuts of guitar playing.
