Meeting 3 - 11/10/10 - (Storyboarding and ideas)

On Monday we spent time working on the storyboard and coming up with ideas for the lyrics and the overall video and also the techniques to use within the video. Please note that this is our first full run through of our storyboard.Ideas (and therefore shots) are still at an early stage and are likely to be changed before filming.

The images below show our work from Monday:
