The story board i had created for Ed Sheeran - Fireflies

Basically  i was thinking about other music videos that are of the same genre as this song. It is hard to film anything else than the generic walking on the beach, skipping, laughing, chatting, singing. This was going to be the male guitarist walking towards the camera and setting up his chair and guitar ect. ready to play, i was going to have the main singer starting off the walk and a he walks he changes through different people of different sex and ages.










This is my generic guitarist singing to the camera "again" on a chair, all the way through my blog i have spoken about keeping away from the "crowd"not following the same old same old and looking back i have done just that and it boars me just talking about it so a change in song where i can do a bit more to different locations, people, actions, story lines would fit as well as the origionals and also i love this song so i will enjoy making a video for it.

This would just be a shot to maybe a slow motion panning shot with a various use of depth of field, the shot would have all of my mates round the fire on the beach having a good time, drinking laughing, pushing each other playing ect. Just when he sings firefly, i like this idea and could well use it with my new music video in the happy chorus.

And here is another shot of the guitarist walking through the woods, doesn't make sense, why would he be in the woods but hey. I would have either filmed the guitarist or another actor walking towards or away from the camera. One idea i have kept from the old film is the singer walking towards the camera singing and then changing figure into another one of my actors who will continue to walk and continue to sing.

This was supposed to be a picture of a town or a park, it was my idea of a singer walking through the busy town centre not noticing anyone and singing to himself or too the ground, so pointless and boring, i will use this shot but in conjunction with the story line that i am thinking up of for my new music video, i want it to make some sort of sence.

(The beach shot) not much more to say, i think this would be better with the new music video because he sings of blue sky's and sunshine, i would like a shot of the male singer walking across the beach singing to the floor, looking around just singing, i really want to get to grips with depth of field as i think an affective shot of the glistening shot would help dramatically, or the sky, i am going to make the shots as colourful and vibrant and exciting as i can.






This was going to be another shot of someone walking towards the camera, it was going to work with the body change shot, i would just like a few female characters and actors of all ages.
