This is the first page of my storyboard for the music video. The sound in the music video will be primarily "Cabinet Man" by Lemon Demon. Throughout the music video, the character will be wearing a long, silver coat.
In the first shot, there is a wide shot of the character standing in an arcade. The camera pans up from their legs to their head. I will try to use the lighting already existing at the arcade, which will mean faint purple lighting.
From there, it cuts to the person standing in front of an arcade machine with their hand gripped onto the side. There's a slow zoom on the hand. In the next shot, the hand is the main focus. The person's grip tightens on the machine immediately before lyrics begin. Cut to black.
In the black screen, you can faintly see an arcade machine. At this point, the lyrics begin. There's a wipe to the left, which leads to the camera panning right across a wall of tools. The person is in a garage at a workbench. They're looking intently at a blueprint. The lighting in this shot will be a blue light, since I think this will set the mood well.
On the storyboard, these two events are in opposite order; this was because after I had drawn out the ideas, I realized it'd flow better to have them in the way I have described in the blog.
In the following shot, you see the person's reflection on the screen of an arcade machine. The next shot shows the workbench from earlier empty and dripping with some blood. If possible, I would like to use a glitch-like transition between these two shots. However, if it isn't possible or looks bad in the final product, I will just use a straight cut away.
At the bottom of the table near the floor is the blueprint from earlier in a puddle of blood. The camera tilts and zooms into it.
The close up of the blueprint depicts a man and an arcade cabinet with various organs in it. There's lines connecting the man to the machine.
The next two shots may be cut out because of time restraints. However, I will still film them, as they are simple things to get footage of. There is a close up of a coin being slid into a coin slot, with the sound of the coin syncing up to the end of the lyrics "with two lungs collecting change". The following shot is an ekg monitor showing a heart rate.
In the first shot of my third and final storyboard sheet, three arcade cabinets slide in from the top of the shot, showing "Game over" screens. There's a cut to a person clenching an arcade machine, similar to the third shot of the music video, but with some blood on his hands.
A fast camera movement to the right will transition to a "Dark Escape" game cabinet. This game depicts a ghost-like girl against a screen. Another fast camera movement right. The person is standing in front of an arcade machine. The camera revolves around him and turns to reveal an arcade machine.
