Animatic for music video and blocking

Choreography / movements and blocking 
My music video won't incorporate any dance or choreography because of the tone and mood of the song and also because RnB music videos rarely ever use dance and choreography but when done i'ts seen an entropic . I have decided to follow most genre conventions , so i can create a video that has a sense of familiarity for an RnB audience.

For the perfomance , there won't be any dance ether but they will be a lot of specif movemnts that i want to follow at a specific time . i want to start with an over the shoulder shot of the person playing piano, which is the intro to the song.at this point we just watch the lead performer playing and i think this will be affective as an opening shot and will create a sense of mystery as it will be set in darkly lit room. This will last for 5 seconds.

Then the performer looks up addressing the camera , the lighting changes, because we aware now aware that the song maybe slow but is quiet upbeat. When the lip synching starts we do a variation of close up shots and close up mid shots , and i will use this as a way of showing of my biggest prop which is the piano  and also the close ups be affective and will follow a convetion of RnB which is often used as a way to promote the artist. This will last for 20 seconds. 

We then cut away to the couple. and its a long shot ; to show the location and background and the zoom in to a mid close up . at this point we don't know who the characters are yet but there is a clear relation ship because the male character has his arm around her .

 they are dressed quiet casually and this will create a relaxed mood. this shot will last for 4 seconds.

then there is a piano solo for 3 seconds , so ill show a close up shot of fingers playing the piano and this  will show a clear link between music and the visuals.

 

 

we then go back to the close ups of the singer lip synching and still playing piano, mid close ups to show the piano and then long wide takes to show the entire set , almost like an establishing shot , to show the full location

 

Now its the chorus the first few seconds will be full of scenery shots of where we are , i chose to do this since it was a new location but during editing i will overlay the images instead of cutting from one one to the other and this will help the video keep it's relaxed and flowing mood and visuals. the chorus will last 30 seconds . the 30 seconds will have a few shots of the couple mixed with the performance. The performer at 0.50 is supposed to be walking out into the forest clearing. The chorus is very upbeat and happy and this will be shown through the movement of the lead performer , facial expressions and body language.

The next 10 seconds will be showing the scene with the couple but now the location has changed and they are now in the forest clearing and are again they are having fun and being really playful, a lot of long shots while playfully chase each other around . then at the lyric ' you see this vision when you look into these eyes ' i do a close up of them individually as they look at each other (Edit to emulate an eye line match). Then we go back to the piano but just for an 2 second shot. then cross cut back to the couple for 5 more seconds and the they create a very intense mood  as they continue to gaze at each other.

 

From 1.49, the next 30 seconds are the chorus again and so we go back to the forest clearing again . and we incorparate a lot of different shots and mixing the narrative and the performance in different locations and this is something i have seen in a lot of music videos regardless of genre.

then we are back to the couple , because the next verse is very emotional and intense and this is shown in the music and lyrics and they have to convey this through body language .

Then at 2:35 - 3.06
It's back to the chorus again . Since its the final verse of the song , this time ill just focus on the perfomance and not include the narative and i feel like that will add more impact and get across the message it's trying to give . ill also add a lot of shots of local scenery , such as showing off the trees and showing the river as well. then for the pianon outro we are back in piano room on an over the shoulder shot that's just showing fingers playing .
