Storyboard and Animatic

For the first three shots, we decided to choose establishing shots, as it gives the audience an idea of the setting, also the introduction music would be playing in the background. We decided to film in the woods, as it would make the dream seem more surreal, also the added effect of the dancers dressing up in pyjamas.

The cut into shot 13 to shot 14 a panning shot is used to show the character is in a different setting, this effect is that the character is continuing with her journey. In shot 14 to 15 a graphic match is to cut to a different location from a bench in a field to an urban area. In shot 17 the shot is taken from the character's point of view, this is how the character views the world. On shot 24 a zoom and close up is used to show the artist playing close detail of the guitar.

In shots 27 to 30 medium shots are used as it is show the artist spinning around in the field and only detail of the arms upwards are needed. The movement of spinning around in a circle is that this is a trademark movement that Ellie Goulding does, so essential to the video. The shot 33 shot is another point of view shot of the character as they have fallen to the ground and are gazing at the sky.

A pan shot is used in shot 39, as the next shot cuts to the character's lips as they are singing, the shot is blurred, to give off a dreamy effect. A zoom out is also used but in shot 42, as the shot wants to draw attention away from the person's face, as the background is a graveyard, possibly suggesting a upsetting place to be. In shot 44 it has been cut to an over shoulder shot as it shows the character has cut back to a different location, here the camera is panning. Also in the next shot a tracking shot is used to follow the person as they walk along the cliff edge singing to the track and possibly this could be clearing the characters mind and thoughts.

In shots 52 and 53 close ups are used to show the emotion into the character about how passionate they are about this track to also show that being on a swing is part of the females childhood. An eye line match is used in shot 54 to show that the person is staring at something from their point of view. In shot 57 as zoom is used is to show the character shutting her eyes and then zooming out, then this shot fades out. Then it cuts to the final scene to where she has reached the end of her journey, a bird's eye view shot is shown to capture the emotions of both characters in the scene, then it blurs and fade as the video come to an end.
