Changes made in the animated storyboard

We found as the filming production progressed our imagination sprung to life like wild fire, originally our story board was unclear and in some respects not well thought. However we found when we were filming specific scenes and shot sequences, ideas occurred which resulted in the alteration of our original story board. For example the original involved several actors based purely on a narrative throughout the music video; but as you can imagine filling 3 an half minutes with constant story line posed as both tiresome and can be potentially bland with no real excitement. We therefore decided to make the critical decision of making a music video that would contain both a narrative story line in which the person watching can relate to and a video that also contains band sequence shots. This gave us the opportunity to work with more material rather than just the narrative scenes; it also meant we would be able to promote the 80's synthpop genre as we had actors performing/ miming the specific track "Take On Me" making it more obvious what genre we're aiming at. A final reason in why we chose to do a narrative/band music video is because of the original Take On Me video that was preformed be A-Ha. In this video it uses both these techniques which in my opinion works incredibly well.
