Here are some of the pictures we took last week as part of putting some of our storyboard images into action. We decided to try and practice some of the pictures in order to pick up any problems with our idea and generally see how it would look.
From doing so I believe we are happy to go ahead and use the shots in our final storyboard, which we have finished today, using split screens in our music video as it automatically creates the parallel storylines for our Villain and Hero, making the connection easier for when they meet later on in the story.
We have tried to conceal the identity of our characters to increase suspense, something that also makes the filming easier as we don't have to worry about continuity with make-up, as we hope to film these 'getting ready' shots at a different time to the main shots in Cambridge.
Some simple but important points we have found from doing this exercise are:
• We need to be consistent in the sides in which our characters are at the editing stage, e.g. in the examples in this post the villain is to the left and the hero to the right.
• We need to make sure we shoot each shot from the same angle and distance creating continuity in our music video, this was lacking in our test shots as you can see below but we have learnt from this.

excellent idea on the splitscreen. could be really effective. like the way you have evaluated too - reflecting on the need for more consistency in framing to get the best out of the technique. well done. but how can those hedgehog socks be villanous?? :)
