Below is a short video animatic plan for Summer Nites. I felt that making an animatic as opposed to a conventional storyboard would better help me indicate where I would include shots within the video - thus refining my editing for the final video. Overall I am pleased with how the video turned out, it is quite basic but I believe my ideas come across accurately.
I included a few segments with just [Montage] as to indicate where I will be inserting the summer clips which will assemble into a montage. This is just to better indicate roughly what I will fill the space with as I am unaware of what those shots will necessarily be, since I have yet to contact the group for clips.
I also used red lines and text to indicate notes for the camera or explain what is going on, such as the arrows indicating the camera's movement. Generally the images contain a mix of candid summery shots with performance clips, this is to fully capture the upbeat nature of the song which in turn requires some positive imagery of people having fun. The use of the performance clips helps to break the montage apart and still focus in on Jack as a performer - something I believe is important, especially given that he isn't a major artist.

As with the storyboard, I think a clearer explanation of your reasons/ intentions would help. Possibly you could do a director's commentary version?
