Storyboard

Chosen Genre/Song/Band name

After looking at lots of different bands involved in the indie etc genre of music e.g Foals, Passion Pit, Friendly Fires, The Vaccines etc. We have finally decided on basing our music video on the song "Radar Detector by the band, Darwin Deez" whom are an American indie band.

We chose this genre of music as we felt it would be the best for us to create a performance video and for us to find the right looking style people for the band as we know people who have the similar look to the band Darwin Deez. The song which we have chosen is reasonably slow and can be easy for us to imitate.

If we were to chose a band such as Kasabian or Oasis, it would have been more difficult to find the correct looking people as theses bands have a whole different look to themselves. They all look a lot older than other band members and have facial hair, long hair etc. This is why we have chosen a Darwin Deez song to make it easier for us to find members.

Locations

We currently plan to use a village hall for the draft video as it will be an ideal location with bare walls etc. Other locations that may be more ideal for our final shoot are places such as empty shops up for rent as they have unpainted concrete walls/pillars throughout that would give it a look that would match the indie genre, also we could use a white room such as a photography studio which would mean we may be able to use better quality professional lights. With all these being unavailable an outdoor performance in a wooded area could work well as seen in many other videos. the problem is an outdoor shoot can only be done with weather permitting.
