Preliminary Music Video

This is the music video that we created for our preliminary task. We created a comical video for the first two choruses and one verse of the song 'Rollin'' by Limp Bizkit. Creating this video was very helpful in learning basic ideas on how to create a music video, for example editing it correctly so that the miming is in sync with the singing of the lyrics.

Lyric Analysis for Preliminary Video

After creating the storyboards and shot lists we all had a clear idea of which part we would be seen singing in the song. Beth analysed the lyrics to show who would sing what and which bits were not sang at all. This helped us throughout filming and editing.

Storyboards for preliminary music video

I drew the storyboards for our group's preliminary music video, 'Rollin''. They showed what occurred in each shot and included brief written details on the shot type used and anything important we must show. Below are the photographs of the storyboards:
