Main Story Board (JH)

Here is the main story board for our music video, these storyboards were created by Jess Higgs. The storyboards are label with the shots we are going to use and also where the scene will take place.

From our original ideas we had to change our story board as we went along because we had some complications for finding enough people to film, we didn't have props and the weather wasn't acceptable to film on the day we had planned even though we had planned shooting with our shooting schedule because it was easier to make it when everyone was available

The beginning of the music video will start with birds eye view of a boy who is isolated in the toilet eating his lunch,he is in the toilet eating is his lunch because he is getting bullied and has no where to go because of it. Theres no music at the start just silence this sets the scene of the music the video because the boy is alone and suffers in silence. Then it will go and zoom out into a low angle shot of the bully and his friend kicking the door of the outside of the toilet the victim is in.Then it will zoom out into a high angle shot of the pair smacking door of the cubicle toilet the victim is in. The camera will the go into the toilet and focus on the victim then he puts his hands on his head then we will relive his flash backs. During this e will not use any dialogue through our film but just the music of Katy Perry Roar to show using a narrative.

The flask backs will consist of shwoing  a long shot the bully skating through the corridor then passing by his friends and giving high five to one of them. The bully will then skate around the corner through a door into the next corridor where he sees is victimn and violently pushes him into the wall before skating off before it going onto the next scene.

The next scene will be set in the maths block showing the bully standing next to his friend talking but then he turns around as soon as he sees his victim. He will once again push the victim to the floor and also making him and his books going flying. The bully and his friend will then laugh at him for pushing him over and the victim will feel small and humiliated. We will show another low angle shot of the victim  picking up his books before fades into the next scene.



After this we will then pan back into the toilet scene before the victim opes the door and pushes the bully and goes running out of the toilets and into a class room kicking tables and chairs over tho show the anger from bullying that has built up inside of him. 

Location Shots(JH)

Below are the locations shots for our film which is being filmed in Pencoed Comprehensive School.Jess  took these photoa around the school, these are the places where our film is going to be set. 

The shot is of a school class room where there will be bullying taking place and the teacher takes no notice of it happening.There will be paper thrown at the victim by the bully and his friend in the classroom.

This shot is of the school field where the victim fights back at the bully and pushes him full force and pushes him over onto the floor.

This shot is of the school toilets where the victim is isolated in the toilet hiding from the bully and his friends. The victim sits in the cubicle with the locked door, eating his lunch and crying this is where isolation theme will be mainly shown.

This shot is of the school corridor where the bully skates past on his skateboards around the corner towards the victim and then pushes the victim into the wall.

The majority of our film is going to be filmed on the school grounds and the filming is going to take place in different parts of the school.

Shooting schedule (KP)

Before we started shooting our film I made a shooting schedule on what scene we were filming and when and all the things we needed. This shooting schedule was created by Keira Pain

Props (KP)

Props done by me Keira Pain

Our initial plans for the props we were going to use only involved thee sandwiches being eating in the the toilet. Before we were going to use a football and sandwiches but we had some difficulties finding a football to use in the video on the day of filming.

The Skate board used in the music video shows the character of the bully to be a rebellious type of person by breaking the school rules by having a skate board on the school premise and by actually skating through the school corridors.


This photo is of a nutelle sandwich, this prop is ene in the opening scene for the music video of a boy eating lunch in the toilet. This shows isolation and that he has to go to eat his lunch in a quiet enclosed space to get away from the bullies

This is a photo of the hat which is worn by the bully in the music video. This hat represents he feel insecure about himself so he has to wear a hat to make him feel a big and to bully, without this hat he feel lost and he has a different personalty.

This is a photo of the books which were used in our music video. The books which were knocked out of the victims hand in the maths block by the bully pushing him over.
