We had to come to a final decision  for our song choice and our artist. when it came to it it was a decsion between Ed sheeran - Grade 8, Bruno Mars - locked out of heaven. at the end we felt that our research proved to us that Ed sheeran was a much more relevant artist to a majority of people ans so it would be more appropiate and more relevevant to do an Ed sheeran song. the song Grade 8 is also fairly popular so people will be able to sing and dance along to the song and the video.
So when we deccided on the song, the lesson after we began planning our story board. Planning the story board was still very difficult for us even though we had done it before in our previous task. We knew this time the importance and significance of planning but we still found it difficult to plan precisely each shot.  however we still got on and did it. I had many ideas that i fed into the group as we had been given time to think about our video previously. So from the moment we decided on the song i had thoughts about the video running through my mind. Being quite interested in music and music videos myself i suggested that the actions and the shots we take should tell a story. i had an idea of telling a story through out the whole video and then rewinding the story of the video at the end. We all also thought that the shots should be relevant to the words of the song so we would think of having certain props that is mentioned in the song. An example of this is at 14 seconds through the song Ed sheeran says "I'll never keep it bottled up". Due to this line we though it would be relevant encorporate a bottle in that particular shot. We planned the video like this the whole way through. the story board took us around 2 lessons and a bit more. Our lessons last for an hour so it would have taken us 2 hours and a bit more to think of and complete our video story board.

This is our completed story board:
