I am currently completing the storyboarding for my music video, after whilst storyboarding I have come across some obsticles. These obsticles are in conjunction with the narrative style which I desired to follow, I have realised that the narrative will be much tougher than I had first imagined, because following this structure, has to include making very sharp cuts, and also you will need to provide a gripping narrative which will keep the watchers concentrated on your video. Being honest with myself, I am not sure if I have the potential to do this. Therefore I have decided to narrow down on the amount of narrative storytelling that I will include in my music, and focus more on the performance aspect (The Mirrors Image playing 'Who Can Say) than I had first planned, as their is meaning behind this.
By all means, I will still be attempting to recreate the narrative, but there will now be more shots of the band performing, than of Levi Strummer making his all important decision. I found it more difficult than I bargained for, to tell a narrative by using lyrics, rather than speech.
Although, there will be still be some shots of frontman Levi Strummer, and he goes on a search to find an answer to his big decision, and peforming the song 'Who Can Say' is a way of dealing with his personal problems.
Max, be confident! You will be able to do this. Your idea of doing more of a performance video makes total sense, as you can use some of the same shots again and again.
