Group Music Video: Fluorescent Adolescent- The Storyboard Years Part 2

We have now finished our storyboard order for the music video 'Fluorescent Adolescent' by The Artic Monkeys. To be able to know what order to place these images in for the video, we scanned over the lyrics multiple times to find which ones match with what the words are suggesting. After about half an hour of moving the images round to match with the lyrics (which was helpful because most of the pictures we drew were literal to the words in the song, such as when Tabasco is mentioned, Tabasco is shown), we finally finished piecing them together.

Now that we have finally finished piecing together our music video, we used the pictures we took of the full storyboard and placed them on iMovie, where we edited it into place. We downloaded the song to be put onto iTunes then drag it over to iMovie where we had to intricately synchronise the songs lyrics with the storyboard images that perceived them. After listening for the first time to the music and the pictures, we were given an idea of where to move the images to synchronise with the lyrics. Two or three lessons later, after moving and adding a few images, we played the song for the final time along with the slideshow of images, and eventually it fit.

Now that we are happy with our finished product, you can view it here at:

Group Music Video: Fluorescent Adolescent- The Storyboard Years Part 1

For the last couple of weeks, we have been working on creating a music video for a song that we were given: 'Fluorescent Adolescent' by The Artic Monkeys. Through these couple of weeks, we got into a group of four; drawing our own sections of the storyboard by basing it off the lyrics from the song. We then began cutting up the storyboard frames and interweaved them with each other to form the three main scenes of the music video; creating a story as the background for the video. The three main scenes were: The band shown to be playing the instruments and singing; the story shown through an almost literal style; and cross-cuts that show a woman with a paper mask on that changes emotion every time the camera cuts to her, with certain items being used to symbolise the fall of her adolescence (which is literally shown as a scene shows cut up letters that create the word 'Adolescent' fall before the woman wearing the mask. I created the scenes for the latter description: the masked woman, mostly because I had no idea how to interpret the lyrics until i was given a hint that she was growing up. Here is the storyboard section that I created:
