Story Board

This is the story board that Cary drew to represent what we want ultimately our video to look like.

1) Camera tracks the twigs and the red thread over the ground. Hear sounds of twigs in distance.
we want to achieve a very different opening and something that catches the audiences attention. We thought the sound of the twigs crackingg under her feet would be a good representation of the first shot of nature and is a cool feature to our video
2)Camera tracks her feet walking as the music begins.
Our main character is revaling slowly and also makes a start to our track.
3)Camera tracks up rogers and reveales her face.
Our main character is finally shown and intorduced to the audience. The tracking up the body adds to that mystery of who it's going to be.
4)The camera revolves around her face from the side (close up) depth of feild only on Amanda.
We want the audence to have that first connection with Amanda and almost step into her shoes.

5)Rogers sings the opening lines.
Again this shot is to connect with the audince singing out to them looking directly into the camera.
6)"I will find a silver linning sometime"
Have a nature song of the sky, possibly silver linning sky, lyrics and visuals match.
7)"Blur my vision" camera from blurred (soft) to sharp focus
Again visuals matching lyrics and alos showing off nature and perhaos an eye-line matching shot.
8)Intercut shots of nature
Showing off the nature and showing/promoting to the audience what kind of person Amanda Rogers is.

9)Close-up shots of Amanda's feet, running through walk way "burn the pages.."
This is to show the build up of the song and that the pace has changed- sound matching visuals
10)"with every smile and every laugh"
Camera pans around Heartwood tree showing Amanda performing infront of it, indicating this tree shows some significance to the video.
11)"Will not be seen"Amanda hides-dress peeking from behind the tree
Shows that she is incsecure of her imperfections which she is literally hiding behind a tree
12)"Burn forever in my mind"
Buring of a picture of a model, shows that that kind of beauty in magazines is not true beauty

13)"And those greens and those blues" Camera pans across Amanda
shot of Rogers performing and showing the greens of the grass
14)"And those blues" shot (high angle) of trees and blue skies
Lyrics matching visuals by showing blue skies when she says "and those blues"
15)"There's something I will always lack" long shot of photo tree- close up of photos
Introducing the photo tree to the audience and showing that she thinks she will never be as good as vogue or any other magazine model
16)Amanda runs towards camera at a high angle, long shot
Introduces flowy long dress, looks aesthetically pleasing and daramatic with dress flowing in wind.

17)"This beauty is not clear to me..." close-ups of Amanda, direct eye-contact
connecting with the audience singing out to them
18)"To me, to me, to me..." mid shots, arms out playing with dress.
Shows her fun and playful side to the audience and a bit of her personality come through in this shot
19)"The pages of the magazines"
This is the scene where Amanda overcomes this fake beauty and rips all the photo's down and almost cleansing her soul and releasing her inner beauty.
20)Last verse of song...Multi shots
The pace has picked up and we wanted to show this by multi shots shanging to the beat of the music.

21)"This beauty will be clearer" midshot of Amanda by Heartwood tree.
The last few shots show her last connection with the audience as the song begins to finish
22)"To me..." Amanda looks directly into camera
You see her stripped of all the fake beauty and just standing naturally singing the last line to the audience
23) Close-up of hand and heart
Showing that she has found her inner beauty at last.
