Storyboarding

When storyboarding we looked at the basic shots we would be needing from our storyline work and then tried to imagine them as differant shots. The storyboard was far from a conclusive look at all the shots that would be in the production, it also didn't include any of the performance work. We had decided at an earlier date that in order to film a natural looking performance we would not officially designate specific shots to the performance, what we did instead is get the actors to mime to the song while we went about and filmed specific areas. We tried to get as many closeups as possible as we had descovered, by looking at earlier attempts to film music videos, the closeups had provided the best footage.

When it came to film the 'more difficult' scenes that would require some form of special acting talent, for example, the 'seduction' scene at the start, we filmed a practice beforehand so when it came to actually filming it, we could get it over and done with as quickly as possible so we could move on to the other shots.
