Rob Speranza Notes - UTC

The music video script - shape and form:

• Music video scripts are often not as narrative as prosaic drama scripts 
• They often take form of grids or are formulated with columns: one for the song lyrics, one for the corresponding content 
• Listen to the song, brain dump, get the lyrics from the artist

Moodboard: 

• colours, shapes, patterns, forms - what they are meant to evoke, what kind of emotions do you want from your audience 
• Good moodboard - easy to feel, to understand, cohesive 
• Bad moodboard - difficult to imagine/portray, seems disjointed, the images don't relate to each other

Storyboard: 

• Usually need a narrative script, where things are coming from and whats happening before starting a storyboard 
• thinking more about point of view, where the artist is going to feature, the angles for the camera, the camerawork
• people hire storyboard artist for a film or music video production 

"Her Morning Elegance" Music Video: 

• Stop motion - lighting shows the passage of time, the props on the bed - shows how it is like a dream, jagged
• Stepping on pillows and putting clothes on, the journey through her day from home to work and back 
• Attracts a bigger audience, promotes the artist and his music, different ways to see the artist, wearing black stands out against the white background and props and the woman wearing white - contrasting, different types of people who are coming together yet they always remain apart when they dance around each other on the bed and he disappears, 
• Moodboard - simplistic, black, white, bed, pillows, clothes, splashes of colours for the clothes on the woman, purple scarf, 
• Script - narrative, the activity on the screen is off or after the lyrics are said, 
• Storyboard - basic drawing, woman stepping on the pillows, the woman and man dancing around each other,
