This is a story board of the music video 'what I go to school for' by busted. We did this task so we could see what each shot looks like and how they are put together to get the best effect. We did a re-enactment of the busted music video by using members of are class to be the characters and having a director so we could get a feel of how we would do are own music video's when it came to it. We learn how to do different shots and angles also the period of time we have to fit in the whole movement. There is also dialogue through out the video so we had to do some lip syncing for the three main characters. The video was only 1:14 long as we cut the actual music video in half just to get a feel on how many different shots and angles we would have to use in the amount of time we have to make are video, as you don't want to use the same shots over and over again as this will make the audience less interested.
In the first story board box shown on this page, it shows a picture of two tables in a room with someone's feet watching past. This shot uses a low angle which doesn't give to much away in the first second as its the opening of the video. The camera then changes to a extreme close up of a women writing on a chock board which is 2 seconds long and is a continues shot of the beginning of the video. The camera then focuses on the women's eyes which is a extreme close up shot this is still continuing the intro to the video and is a second long. In the first 3 shots it only uses one person and uses no dialogue. Then the camera changes to a mid shot and focuses on a boy at a desk which begins the song as he starts to sing. This shot is 2 seconds long and the dialogue is "oh, yeah yeah".
After the dialogue the scene changes and there's a shot of the women's hand on a light switch which is shown as an extreme close up and lasts for a second. Then the camera changes to a mid shot of a dark lighted room with a projector on giving out a small amount of light. This shot is 2 seconds long. The camera then adjusts to the boy again who was in the fourth shot, he is shown in a mid shot sitting at a desk behind a girl in dark lighting which has carried on from the last shot and it lasts a second. The camera then stays at a mid shot and shows you what the students can see which stays on screen for a second. Then the camera goes to a extreme close up on the women's eyes again but with a dark lighting which is carried through all these shots. There is no dialogue in this part of the story board.
Then the camera focuses back on to the boy who's sitting at a desk with low lighting like the story boards before. They use a mid shot so you can see his body language as he sings. The clip lasts for 3 seconds and the dialogue is "her voice is echoed in my mind I count the days till she is mine". Then the camera goes to a long shot from the back of the class and uses the camera movement panning to get the whole class into the shot. The lighting is still seen to be dark and the clip lasts 2 seconds long. The camera then changes to a mid shot and the camera slowly moves down to see the expression on the boys face when the girls walk past. The clip lasts 3 seconds. After the camera focuses back to the documentary the class is watching and the boy starts to sing again. The clip lasts a second and the dialogue is "cant tell me friends cause...". The dialogue then carries on in the next shot of the boy lip syncing to the camera in a mid shot saying "they will laugh I love a member of the staff". This clip lasts 4 seconds.
The camera then moves from a mid shot on the boy to a mid shot on the girl that turns around and the camera slowly zooms in on her face. The clip lasts a second. Then the camera shows you what the girl is looking at by using a mid shot on the boy behind her. This clip lasts a second. The camera then changes views to a long shot on another member of the band and see's him pushing past students in his class which goes with the dialogue being song "I fight my way to front of class to get the best seat of her ass". The camera slowly zooms in on him whilst he gets closer, the clip lasts 7 seconds. The camera then does an extreme close up on the women who is there teacher. This clip lasts a second. Then the camera goes to a second mid shot of one of the boys from the band and then changes to the other boy from the band using a mid shot and only being a second long. This shows there body language towards the teacher.
The camera then goes back to the boy who pushed through the class staying using a mid shot so you can see what he does when he sings the dialogue "I drop a pencil on the floor", then the camera instantly follows the pencil to the flow using a mid shot still which takes up 3 seconds whilst he sings "she bends down". As the dialogue continues "and shows me more" the camera follows the lady to the floor who then picks up the pencil, this shot is 2 seconds long. The camera then stays at a mid shot and follows the lady when she stands up and the chorus of the song kicks in "that's what I go to...". The clip is 3 seconds long. The scene then changes to an out side set where the three lads are playing their guitars and all sing "school for" together, the camera stays at a mid shot and the clip lasts for 2 seconds.

The camera then goes to the last member of the band continuing to use a mid shot of him singing " you can call me crazy". This clip lasts a second. Then the scene changes back into the class room focusing on the teacher giving one of the band members there work back using a mid shot and having the dialogue in the background "I know that she craves me". This clip is 3 seconds long.

The final shot is a mid shot of the teacher walking past one of the band members in class and stroking his arm and in the background the dialogue is playing "for". This clip lasts 3 seconds. I have used a colour coding box at the bottom of the last page to show what characters in each shot so it makes it easier to film the music video.
