Storyboarding

Below is a descriptive storyboard for the song of 'Who you Are' by Jessie J. I feel that writing descriptively helps me better to understand than drawing. This is the first draft which has been changed because some of the things didn't look as good as I thought they would.
I have planned the timeline below by showing the timing start and finish for each verse and chorus. This will help me with the timing when filming which will save time when editing.

Jessie J- Who You Are

Opening instrumental:

[0:00- 0:14] 14 seconds

Slowly zooming in on the girl putting lots of tarty make up on in the mirror but looking at her reflection because she looks older but doesn’t feel any different in herself because deep down, this is not the real her.

[0:15-042] 27 seconds

I stare at my reflection in the mirror

“Why am I doing this to myself?”

Losing my mind on a tiny error,

I nearly left the real me on the shelf.

No, no, no, no, no…

Clothes: Jeans and a patterned top.

Look: Wanting to be older that she actually is because she is weighted down by always ‘being too young’ to do things that all her other friends do.

Position: Knelt on the floor and leaning forward looking into the mirror with a pack of make up wipes on the side along with all her make up. Slowly moving her hand to the make up wipes to take it all off.

Shot: Over the shoulder then from behind the mirror looking straight at her face

Angle: None

[0:43-1:11] 28 seconds

Don’t lose who you are in the blur of the stars

Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing,

It’s okay not to be okay.

Sometimes it’s hard to follow your heart.

But tears don’t mean you’re losing, everybody’s bruising,

Just be true to who you are!

Clothes: Jeans and different top with boyfriend cardigan.

Look: Studious, she is secretly a geek and is pretending to be someone she isn’t.

Position: Leant up against an inside wall pretending to read a book, one leg in front of chest. Then slowly put the book down whilst leaning head back and turning to face the camera head on. Also have a handful of make up on the floor which she throws on the floor

Shot: Medium shot

Angle: None

[1:11- 1:25] 14 seconds

Who you are

Who you are

Who you are

Who you are

Who you are

Who you are

Who you are

Who you are

Who you are

Who you are

Who you are

Clothes: Both wearing boots, jeans, coats. Minimal make up.

Look: Happy to see each other and catch up with gossip.

Position: With her friend who she meets up with who are both wearing coats in the park, they wave to each other and walk up to hug. Daisy walks up to touch Rosie’s face indicating that she looks pretty being herself.

Shot: Long shot

Angle: None

[1:26-1:53] 27 seconds

Brushing my hair do I look perfect?

I forgot what to do to fit the mould, yeah!

The more I try the less its working, yeah

‘Cause everything inside me screams

No, no, no, no, no…

Clothes: Jeans and a patterned top.

Look: Being frustrated that she isn’t happy with the way she looks.

Position: Knelt on the floor and leaning forward looking into the mirror with a pack of make up wipes on the side along with all her make up. Slowly moving her hand to the make up wipes to take it all off.

Shot: Over the shoulder then from behind the mirror looking straight at her face. Maybe add a medium shot.

Angle: None

[1:54-2:21] 27 seconds

Don’t lose who you are in the blur of the stars!

Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing

There’s nothing wrong with who you are!

Yes, no’s, ego’s, fake shows like WHOA!

Just go and leave me alone!

Real talk, real life, good love, goodnight,

With a smile, that’s my home!

That’s my home, no…

No, no, no, no, no…
