StoryBoard

The timing of the story board was left ambigious because I felt that Alot of shifting would be needed in the final product anyway. That and I new as I worked more scenes would end up making there way in to trump the original 16. This was a remake which unfortunately lost a few of the original scenes and therefore I was forced to redo most of it from memory, the woes of not carrying important documents in the rain and wind in a waterproff cover. Allas here is the storyboard to be viewed upon.

Scene Breakdowns

Scene One:  An isle so fair, a isle so green,
Known by many names. The scene will jump cut a few times to other driving sequences then back to the main clip
Feel the pulse, the pulse of the land,
The blood boils within your veins. The video will shake frantically when he says ,"Boils within your veins.
Someone go down to the Holy Well 
and raise the Spirits there! The end of the main clip will lead into the scene below, to give a sense of driving into the scene, similar to the white stripe music videos.
Lay a feather on a stone, 
with a flame, and a lock of hair. This will be a relatively calm scene of the aforementioned on a stone in my back garden. By being a still scene this would connote the end of scene one of the song.

Scene Two: (Chorus) The Crane, the wolf, 
the bear and the boar, The crane the wolf the bore and the bear will pop up individually as they are mentioned (cut outs from the album art.
No longer dwell upon these shores, The image will fly off into the distance across he ocean.
You say that the Goddess and God 
have gone,
Well I tell you they live on! Here images of pictures of tree carvings as well as faces found in objects will be flashed up on the screen in quick succession roughly in time to the song
For in the cities and hills, Take a screenshot from the image of the main playing on the bridge and transition it into a screenshot of a big party in the wild.
And in circles of stone, Three separate videos of stone circle clips will pop up one after the other, each playing a view seconds then pausing letting the next one pop up and then the final one, until a montage covers the screen.
The voices of the Old Ways,
The Spirit of Albion is calling you home! A super imposed image of Damh the Bard rises from the centre of stone henge with a clip of him singing this part of the song. When he says calling you home a thunder effect could mask the screen transitioning to the next scene with an explosive effect.

Scene Three: From Manwydden's crashing sea, Crashing sea could be in time to a clip of the scene crashing against the rocks in Tintagel.
To the moor and the Highland Glen. This will be a pan of bodmin moor into a shot of Frensham pond to represent the highland glen.
From the Faerie Hills, home of the Sidhe,
To the veins of the Broad and the Fen. This is mainly consisting of still shots of hills in Wales and bodmin and then moving to a shot of the river way representing the Broad and Fens.
Someone go down to the Holy Trees 
of Oak and Ash and Thorn! Here I will use a clip of walking up an outdoor stairway which will lead to a cutout mask in which the images of ash and thorn will be shown.
Utter a charm in the verse of three,
Till the Summer King is born! The shot will zoom through the branches of the trees above into a picture behind taken from the summer solstice at Stone Henge, I will add a glow effect to the sun so that as the verse gets closer to born as well as the zoom the sun will gradually appear to get brighter, thereby representing being born.

Scene Four: Ride the white horses 
carved into the hills, Here I will use a picture of the white horse of Uffington as seen from ground level. Movement will be created by having the picture scroll to the side will the focus point zooms out revealing more of the picture.
Walk to the Hanging Stones. This will transition into a scene of me walking round a stone circle. As I turn there will be in the distance an image of hanging stones.
Bow to the might 
of Cerne Abbass' height,
Feel the peace in the Ancestors' homes. The shot will scroll up the picture of the Cerne Abbass's giant.
Someone go down to Wilmington 
where the Giant guards the way! After filtering on top of the last Giant this will be a pre-zoomed in and so will zoom out to show the full scene.
Step into the Otherworld, 
into the womb,
Where centuries pass like a day! This will be from "Step" to "day!" I will use a super speed up clip of the car journey in which I was filming behind the direction the car was heading in, as the song drifts off the video will pace down until coming to an abrupt stop and focusing on a point of interest.

Ideas for shooting editing

Shotting:

Video of car journeys to give a visual representation of the song continually moving on.

Video shots of still scenes like a candle (The flame) a feather and lock of hair which represents the corresponding lyric of Spirit of albion, or perhaps a still image of a local lake such as Frensham.

Panning round a scene.

Hand cam shots to give the effect that walking, such as a video of me walking round a stone circle could lead to seeing a superimposed image of hanging stones in the distance.

In some cases i'll be using pictures along with editing effects without any physical footage. This will only be in cases where I cannot fully represent a scene with my own footage and require pre captured video/ or past taken pictures. These will be noted in the credits and anyones footage will be credited for.

Editing:

Programs used for editing will be Photoshop, Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro.

Transitions such as swipes, diamond cuts and swirling the view round in a spiral into a new scene are all possibilities.

Slow motion as well as speeding up video will be used to link the video to the tempo of the song.

The drum beat in the song is perfect to allow use of jump cuts, which with the driving scenes could help to keep the it fresh.

Special effects like lightening may be used to represent magic in scenes. These effects could possibly be linked to a certain beat in the song.

Lighting effects to make scene exaggerated or dulled, such as a scene that is made into black and white with the exception of green or red in the video retaining it color to create a specific point of interest.
