Project 3 | Storyboard & Timing

The song I chose for this project is "Photographs and Histories" by Isaac Graham. After listening to the song and the lyrics several times, I decided to base my project on a scrapbook theme. The video will essentially flip through scrapbook pages and show photographs and other elements on each page. In order to make the video more interesting and stimulating, the photographs (and possibly other elements) will move, so the photographs will almost look like video clips rather than still pictures. Parts of the lyrics text will also appear or move on to the page when that specific line is said. This will help relate the video back to the song. At one point in the song, there is a bridge sequence that has a different melody than the rest of the song, so at this point in the video (represented as frames 15 and 16 on the storyboard) film reels with moving images will move across the screen. The moving images and text theme will remain the same, but since the melody is different, I thought this would be a good change in the video as well. There are a few instances in the storyboard where it says "chorus sequence" in a particular frame. In these cases, there will be some sort of similar animation for each of them, but I still have to figure out what that animation is going to be.

I've also timed out the entire song and broken it down into multiple sections. I used these times to help figure out the times of the animations for the storyboard as well.
