Little Missy Animatic

We recently completed our storyboarding and the process of creating a music video consists of storyboarding and then turning these still images into a shot-by-shot layout and filming style for your music video.

First we took a picture of each of the individual shots from the storyboard using a digital camera. We then uploaded them to a computer and then pieced them together using Final Cut Pro and lay the music down over the images. Below is the Animatic…

At the beginning of the Animatic we have used several shots of London to establish where the drama is taking place, a bustling urban environment. We fade out of a night skyline of London when the piano in the song twinkles. Lyrics begin with Dana applying eye make-up in a mirror. We chose this shot because we thought it would make it more interesting to the audience and to connect the viewer to the artist by showing personal moments.

Our next significant shot in the music video is when Dana is singing on the stage, we thought that this would contrast the busy life of her boyfriend with her relaxed pop singer’s lifestyle. Furthermore the master shot that we keep referring back helps us create her image and makes the artist a more powerful woman.

Another vital shot in our video is when Dana will be singing against a graffiti brick wall. We feel that we should try to appeal to audience and we have shown the classy office life and the upmarket club scene, therefore having Dana sing the song against a brick wall connects with a different audience.
