Final Production Storyboard.

Shot 1;
This is my establishing shot, which will be an extreme long shot filmed at a high angle, of Birmingham City Center, featuring Birmingham City University, many main roads and street art / graffiti, which will become a main theme throughout the video. Its filmed in natural daylight on an overcast day, adding to the mise en scene to show the video has a slightly dark and dismal mood. In editing I also placed a black opaque banner over the bottom of the screen and then placed the artist and song title in bold white font over the banner to tell the audience what the song is and introduce them to the video.

Shot 2;
This is a long shot from the same position as the first shot, which shows the main road in more detail, and features cars passing through, adding to the 'inner-city hustle and bustle' theme of the video.


Shot 3;
This is a long shot which slightly pans vertically up the main road to show an ambulance speeding with it's warning lights flashing, adding to the inner-city theme by showing that there is always something happening in the city and there is a sense of action.

Shot 4;
This is a close up shot of a sign for a council skate park, which looks old, rusted, damaged and features some graffiti. This is relevant as the sign shows neglect for the area, which grunge videos often show and the graffiti shows anti-social behaviour often featured in urban areas, and Nirvanas music often fueled teenagers to act against the local status quo, represented by their song and video, Smells Like Teen Spirit.

Shot 5;
A slow horizontal, right to left pan of a brick wall, featuring two pieces of large graffiti appears, adding to the theme of rebellion and teenage angst, this is filmed in a mid-shot.

Shot 6;
This is a long shot of a wall covered in brightly coloured graffiti in which a man is shown dressed in "ghetto" clothing, with things such like gold chains and a hooded shirt; he is grinning and surrounded by other pieces of graffiti.

Shot 7;
This is the first time the band representing Nirvana appear in the video, this is shot against a light coloured brick wall in natural daylight, showing all 3 band members stood against the wall with their instruments, looking in different directions in a mid-shot, this is to introduce the band to the audience.

Shot 8;
This is a horizontal left to right pan of the band as they slowly walk to the left of the shot, as the camera turns we can see the band walking away and down a path leading onto a road. This shot began in a mid shot but ended up as a long shot as the band moved away.

Shot 9;
This is a long shot of the band stood on a main road, standing on a strip of pavement surrounded by heavy flowing traffic either side of them. This shot is crisp and well lit as it was filmed in natural daylight. This shot slowly zooms out as the front-man (David) begins to sing as the music fades in, as he sings the whole band begin to walk forward up the path (towards the camera) and the shot continues to zoom out. Being filmed on a main road shows the audience that the city is always busy and links to the influence of Nirvana videos, even when there are things happening around them, the band always stayed calm and focused on the music.

Shot 10;
This is another long shot, further up the pavement in the last shot, so the band are now under a street sign, just as before, as David begins to sing, the whole band begin to walk closer to the camera and the shot slowly zooms out, until the last 2 lines, where the band move into a mid shot in-front of the camera as the chorus ends.

Shot 11;
This is a long shot of a busy main road and an island in the city, where cars are constantly speeding around, this is also filmed in natural daylight. This shot has been sped up during the editing process as it gives the shot a more dramatic effect as the cars are going faster than they normally could, it also gives the feeling of time passing but the same thing happening, relating to the theme of the video that in the urban city, it's mostly the same action everyday, people passing in and out without taking any notice of anything around them, a feeling of monotony is present.

Shot 12;
This is a long shot of the main Bullring Shopping centre at night, in which all of the shop displays and electronic advertisements stand out due to the light they emit. I have sped up the footage in editing to show how many people pass through this area in a small amount of time, which relates to the idea that many people who have money to spend, often spend it on material possessions.

Shot 13;
A long shot of the side of the Bullring shopping centre occurs, which is filmed in the dark, emphasizing how well lit the inside of the Bullring is, this is relevant as the video aims to show two sides to inner city life, one is of the neglected urban areas often full of graffiti and crime and the other is of the well maintained, popular areas that feature a lot of people or cars, showing that there are two sides to the city, one is condemned and edgy while the other is attractive and beloved.

Shot 15;
This is a long, low angle shot of a building at night, the building itself is well lit and the windows have a blue tint over them, showing the preferred business side of the city which attracts so many people.

Shot 16;
The next shot features the band at a long to mid shot, as they stand on a concrete path facing the camera, which is in the middle of two canal areas, one behind the band, the other in-front. The shot is well lit as it was filmed in natural daylight and most of the architecture around them tends to be white, which increases the light and gives a crisp image. Here the band remain still and play their instruments as David sings the second verse.

Shot 17;
Between the singing, cut-away shots feature of graffiti, featuring again the urban neglected side of inner city life. This shot is a close up of a piece that would be considered street art as it's more elaborate than average graffiti. The image is of a woman's face that is spray painted in green, adding an element of colour into the video from the normal industrial greys etc.

Shot 18;
This is a returning shot to shot 16, where the band are still standing in the white canal area and continuing with the song.

Shot 19;
This is another cut-away shot, which is a close up of a purple wall featuring another piece of large street art, this shot isn't as bright as the canal setting to add to the dark, underground, antisocial theme of street art and graffiti.

Shot 20;
This is a long shot of a brick wall, covered in a street art mural, featuring lots of blue tones and random imagery which engulfs the whole wall. This is provided as another example of street art and that possibly, what is considered as trash and antisocial can actually be a sign of talent and maybe it shouldn't be dismissed, because like the underground of a city, it has a reason and a story to tell.

Shot 21;
This is a returning mid shot to the band singing in the same position in the canal setting, as they continue the rest of the song.

Shot 22;
As the chorus nears to an end, this is a close up of the band in their first street setting between two streams of traffic. They are stable infront of the camera and David is singing the 'Memoria' line, as this means memories, I decided to have the video cut back to this street setting as it would be a memory, keeping a subtle truth to the song, as the band says memoria, the video returns to a memory.

Shot 23;
A mid to long shot appears of cars passing to the left of the shot and in the background we can see cars passing to the right of the screen as the two sets of traffic pass each other. This is again to demonstrate the amount of people and action in the city and to give the illusion that people in the city are always moving.

Shot 24;
This is the first time in which we meet the "homeless man" character in the video, also played by David. He is dressed in old, dirty, plain clothing and carrying some possessions in his bag. This is a long shot of David walking away from the camera, to his right is a brightly coloured wall covered in graffiti, relating to the idea that homeless people often live in neglected urban areas.

Shot 25;
This is a mid high angle shot of David as the homeless man. He is sat on a dusty, dirty floor outside and infront of him is an upturned cap with a few coins inside of it, this suggests to the audience that he is begging for money due to how bad his situation is. He looks to the floor almost in despair.

Shot 26;
This is the first time we see David playing the businessman role. He is dressed in a suit and tie, looking very confident and presentable. This is a long shot and to the right of the shot David walks towards and then past the camera, while a shop display is in the background. This carefree image contrasts with the previous image of the struggling homeless man.

Shot 27;
This is another evening long shot, this is of cafes and shops at the side of the Bullring Shopping Center, artificially lit by street lights or lighting from electronic advertisements. This again demonstrates the attractive side of the city.

Shot 28;
Another evening shot, this is a long shot of a road, (artificially lit by street lights) with the traffic moving towards the camera. This shows that even though it's evening, people are always moving from place to place, to quote the phrase, 'Theres no rest for the wicked'.

Shot 29;
Back to the band now and this is a mid to close up shot of David, who is looking over the edge of a car park wall onto the city; this is where the establishing shot was taken, suggesting maybe it was done from Davids point of view and the images from the video were viewed through the bands eyes. Here David continues to sing the lines 'I don't have a gun etc' while staring off into the distance.

Shot 30;
Switching from shot 29 being in natural daylight appears this shot, filmed in the evening so it's not bright or crisp and is only lit by artificial street, building and car lights. This is an extreme long shot of part of the Birmingham city centre cityscape, which looks upon a main area featuring a road with flowing traffic, buildings, shops and advertisements etc.

Shot 31;
A close up shot appears of David as the homeless man role. This shot focuses on his face, he has his hood up to conserve any warmth he has as he looks to the floor depressed and upset. The audience can tell by the emotion on his face that he isn't happy with the way that he's living, different to the businessman.

Shot 32;
Relating to the last shot, we see the same character again in a mid shot. He is stood against a brick wall outside in the cold. He is wearing all of the clothes that he owns and has one of his jackets over his shoulders to try and keep himself warm as he shakes and stares into the distance. This tells the audience that living on the street is not easy and you have to try and survive on your own.

Shot 33;
This long shot shows David walking away from New Street Train Station and towards the camera, he is dressed in his suit and tie and looking happy with his life (completely different from the homeless man). This suggests that he could have just got off a train as he's going to a job that he loves for example.

Shot 34;
Back to the performance element of the video, this shot is a close up of Georges hand playing his guitar to the song playing in the video.

Shot 35;
This is another close up, but this time it is of Josh's hand on his guitar, playing the guitar along to the song playing in the video to break away from the loose narrative in the video and to remind the audience that the band are still involved.

Shot 36;
This shot is a long shot of the businessman character walking out of the Bullring shopping centre, he pushes the doors open and confidently walks towards the camera and then past the camera, leaving the shot. This suggests that the shot was filmed from a point of view, as we often see people pass us everyday and once they walk past us, they leave of line of sight. This also suggests that if this is a point of view shot, that everyone notices his presence as he is confident and presentable and looks like he's doing well, so people will have a different view of this character compared to the homeless mans character.

Shot 37;
To contrast with the previous shot, we now see the homeless man walking down a stretch of pavement, with a brightly coloured wall of graffiti to the left of the shot, it links to the idea that graffiti stretches all around the city as most of it is often dejected and ignored, along with the characters in it like the homeless man. As the character walks into the distance he stares into parked cars to the right of the shot to see if any of the car doors are open so he can use the cars for warm or shelter. This tells the audience that when you live on the streets you have to do whatever you can to survive.

Shot 38;
Returning to the businessman character, we see a low angle long shot of some stairs outside of a building as David walks down them and off shot. This suggests that he is running from meeting to meeting and has important work to do.

Shot 39;
We can now see a long shot of the homeless man walking down another stretch of road and into a tunnel, to the right of the shot are windows of a building that are covered in graffiti, this blatant vandalism links to the idea of teenage rebellion that is included in the song and most of Nirvana's work.

Shot 40;
To contrast with the last shot, we now see a close up of the businessman sat on a bench in a popular park in which people move around him. He is on the phone and is laughing and looking confident. This suggests he lives a much more carefree life than the other character and perhaps has less to worry about.

Shot 41;
Returning to the homeless man, we now see a long shot of him sat on an overturned bench, on the floor in a neglected area full of graffiti and wired fences. He is lay out on the bench drinking alcohol from the bottle. This tells the audience that in his time of despair, the character is resorting to drinking and perhaps becoming dependent on it. This shows that when faced with tough situations like these, often peoples lives spiral out of control, compared to the businessman whose life is getting better.

Shot 42;
This is a mid shot of David as the businessman, stood against some wooden doors outside of a building as he flicks through work documents. This suggests that this character has a good, secure job that requires him to be attentive and involved in his work, leading to financial security in his life.

Shot 43;
A low angle close up appears now of the homeless man as he is stood against a wired fence, rubbing his hands together because of the cold and looking tormented and tired.

Shot 44;
Breaking away from the narrative now, we see a high angle shot of cars coming out of a tunnel, this has been sped up in editing to give the idea of time passing in the video.

Shot 45;
This mid shot is of the band together once again, they're sat on steps in a dark and damp area underneath an overpass wearing their casual costumes. Here they continue to play and sing the final verse of the song, which they have done throughout the video.

Shot 46;
This is a mid shot of the homeless character walking into the distance through a dark tunnel, so little can be seen apart from his silhouette at the end of the tunnel due to the light coming from the outside. This adds to the idea that the homeless man is still looking for somewhere to live or looking for resources as living on the streets can never be comfortable.

Shot 47;
This is a long to mid shot as the business man character exits a building and walks towards the camera and then past it, again suggesting that the shot is from a point of view. As he exits the building he looks positive and upbeat, suggesting that he has just come from a successful meeting.

Shot 48;
This is possibly the most dramatic of the shots in the video so far. This is a low angle close up of the businessman's face as he stares to the right of the shot.

Shot 49;
To relate to the previous shot, we now see a low angle close up of the homeless man looking to the left of the shot. This is where the two characters finally meet and face each other in shock, not knowing what to do next. This is meant to convey to the audience that there is a thin line between being successful and happy and then loosing everything in todays society, so you can't take things for granted. It also shows the audience the two paths of life that the character could live and how different their lives would be. This shot then fades to black as the song ends.
