Began the storyboarding process Plus: Development of the Ad Plot and Meaning


first storyboard was very detailed, but got lost during test shots.
but it's fine as i had it quite clearly in my head, apart from the first 5/6 frames.
But as i lost my 'fine art' that was my storyboard, i decided to explain the background the advert plot and the sort of camera angles i wanted.

I apologise for the audio lagging, and my husky voice.




as for audio: the key things i wanted were
  • the sound of the rustling bin-liners when my actress was shown in her 'designer' dress
  • the sound of tearing (when the magazine is torn) or audio/music that fits the action of the ripping.
  • the sound of the dog growling, when a new dog is handed to my 'paris hilton'-like character.
  • when i have a character in a nightclub with his alcoholic drink, i want the club/d&b music to be very heavy and for flashing lights in the room to fit the beat of the music and his movements (very fluid movements).
  • the voiceover at the beginning, i would like to get louder and for the tone of 'annoyance' to become stronger as the reading progresses.
  • i would love to include the song "Miss Hilton" by the Penfifteen Club, as it's describing the LA life and attitude of Paris Hilton and i feel it fits my celebrity characters, as we witness their naive actions and irritating tendencies.

LYRICS annotation
Oh my, looky there
Stone-cold foxy, platinum hair
typical celebrity image - fakery and material items
Short skirt, barely there
willing to act/appear foolish or outlandish to get press attention
Make a chick wanna hate, make a boy wanna stare
dog-eat-dog, gain many enemies and haters.

Well, Ms. Hilton you must be worth a trillion bucks
celebrities receive unnecessary amount of money for the very little they do.
Get the feelin' that you don't really give a fuck
not bothered by the press, or in some case every much bothered by the press, money can't give you happiness.. it appears most celebrities are very unhappy but put on a positive image for the camera.
Ms. Hilton I like the way you push and glide
Rollerskates on a social butterfly, whoo! Social ladders to be climbed, it's who you know not what you know in the world of celebrity..

Breeze by, velvet ropes once you've 'made it', you can get away with anything, no such thing as bad press.
Ski this town like a bunny slope Breeze through life with ease.
Oh my, there she goes
A Long money girl in her short money clothes Material goods, image, all important.
