Storyboarding

We finished storyboarding and this is our final version:

moodboard

This is a moodboard using ideas that we have for our music video

Audience Feedback

The questions we asked were ideas for location, and which angle people thought would be best for the video.
The ideas we got during the pitch were all in response to the second question. Everyone said that daytime was the best time to film and that having feminism, youth and ethnicity was too many angles. They suggested having youth as our main angle and just having feminism and ethnicity as an angle due to the actors we cast. People also liked the idea of bikes more than trains, as they expressed concerns about getting permission to film other passengers an to film on the train at all.



 

Some other questions that were asked were:

Q: How is the video feminist?

A: We thought the video was feminist as it promoted freedom and camraderie between young women. This is still an angle in our video, but just in the background, due to our casting of only teenage girls as the main cast.

Q: Are you following the lyrics at all? Is there any lipsyncing?

A: We don't follow the lyrics, although they were the inspiration or the theme of ethnicity and have impacted the tone of our piece.

Q: How many locations would you use?

A: more than five and less than ten, although we don't have an exact number

Q: How would you film cycling?

A: Alisha owns a GoPro which we would film the POV shots on the bike, and the other shots would be stationary shots.

Q: You could film on the ridgeway or in museums?

A: Due to copyright and permission reasons we can't film in museums, however we are now filming on the ridgeway

Lyrics

Coming up slowly, oh, sun over the hill

Daylight's still a long time coming

But I know it will

Been under this spell, oh, but we're coming awake

So we'll be rude, we'll be loud

As long as it takes

This is why, this is why,

We crank the dial to the right

This is why we're biting the bullet

We know the kids are right

Sing

Different colors

We carry each other

We're just different colors

This is why we're biting the bullet

We know the kids are right

We keep cranking the music up

Driving through our towns

But they don't wanna hear

They want us to turn it down

So come on lovers, come on haters

Tonight we raise the fire

Cause when the people get to dancing

They forget about taking sides

This is why, this is why,

We crank the dial to the right

This is why we're biting the bullet

We know the kids are right

Sing

Different colors

We carry each other

We're just different colors

This is why we're biting the bullet

We know the kids are right

(For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction)

(Opposite, opposite reaction)

We're coming awake, out of your spell,

As long as it takes, we're coming awake

We're coming awake, out of your spell,

As long as it takes, we're coming awake

This is why, this is why,

We crank the dial to the right

This is why we're biting the bullet

We know the kids are right

I said, this is why, this is why

We're tearing it up all night

Oh this is why we're biting the bullet

We know the kids are right

Different colors

We carry each other

We're just different colors

This is why we're biting the bullet

We know the kids are right

Different colors

We carry each other

(Oh yeah)

We're just different colors

This is why we're biting the bullet

We know the kids are right
