Storyboarding my Music Video

First Scene:

In this scene, the actor appears to have just woken up. The camera will be perpendicular to the actor, doing a bit of a pan. This will be in order to show the state of the room the actor is in, which will be messy and unarranged. 

Second Scene:

Here, the actor will be in a bathroom. The camera will be facing a mirror, which will help me do a transition. This transition is to show the actor getting ready but still looking quite sad.

Third Scene:

Here, the actor is sitting outside a door, watching the cars and people pass by. This is to show life passing the actor by.

Fourth Scene:

In this shot and the following ones, the camera will be pointing at the actor in order to create the point of view of another person. The camera's point of view will go to up the actor and lure them in, trying to improve the actor's mood and life.

Fifth Scene:

Here, the actor and the camera's point of view are playing and smiling. This shot will be a handheld shot to show someone running and walking.

Sixth scene:

In this scene, the actor is laying next to a tree and motioning the camera's point of view to join them.

Seventh scene:

Here, the actor and the camera are holding onto each other, spinning around. This will be as if they were dancing together.

Eighth scene:

Here will be a tracking shot, moving with the actor as they ride a bike.

Ninth scene:

The actor is cloud gazing and makes a point to smile at the camera.

Tenth scene:

In this final scene, the camera zooms out and we can see the camera's point of view was a mirror the whole time. This is to represent the beginning of self-love the actor now has for themselves.


Here are the pictures of the storyboard for my music video!


Until next time, Danniella Miller signing off! :)

Short Film Research: Tangles and Knots

Short film description:     A sticky, intimate bond between mother and daughter becomes threatened when the mother helps her teenage daughter throw a party to impress new, popular friends. Sound: In the dialogue, there is no difference in how the mother and daughter speak to each other, speaking more like friends than mother and daughter. However, when the party starts, the mom begins interjecting herself into the daughter's conversations, teaching her how to take a jello shot and encouraging her to come into the pool. The added sound contributes to the setting, with dance music that helps bring the idea of it being a party altogether. This is made apparent when there is no dialogue and the daughter is just dancing, where all that can be heard is the music she's dancing to. There is no dialogue that needs to be understood or listened to, more so the viewer can focus on the daughter's awkward movements and how she feels in that moment. Mis-en-scene: The opening scenes work a...

Planning the storyboard for my Pentel commercial

First Scene: This will be the shot comparing other pens to Pentel pens. It will give the audience an idea of the kinds of things you can do with Pentel pens and why they're so much better. It will be a zoom shot. As the actor continues writing, the camera will zoom in to look at how the pen is acting on the paper. Second Scene: Here, the actor will take a highlighter to the generic pen and it will smudge everything up. This will be an extreme zoom. As the Pentel pens' inability to smudge and fast drying times are a huge part of their advertising, I wanted to include a shot that would compare Pentel pens to other pens. This will still be on the same desk as the first shot, but it will instead be an overhead shot truly focusing on the paper. Third Scene: It's well known how infuriating it can be to have a pen smudging up all your hard work, so I truly wanted to show that emotion here. The audience can empathize with our actor's struggle and want to help him find a better ...

Issues while Editing my Music Video

 So, since my last blog, quite a bit has happened. I managed to lose all my progress on my video. Now, let me explain. I was editing my video and decided to render it so I would be able to watch it without having to let it load. So, as I'm waiting for the video to render, a message pops up that my computer is about to die. Usually, I have a couple of minutes to plug it in, but it ended up dying right away and basically reset. I immediately plug my computer in and turn it back on. As I open up Premiere, my work on the music video was completely gone. I was completely shocked and upset. I started looking up how to recover my work because all that it said I had done was import my files into the program. All of the tedious editing to the lyrics was gone. I'm looking through every file on my computer, every possible place where it could be. The reason I hadn't saved a separate copy and knew where it was was due to the fact that I was relying on the auto-save feature, but I didn...
