*When referring to the "actor" within the storyboard or blog, I am referring to the actor playing the person who is imagining being wealthy.
Scene 1
This scene will consist of the actor drawing what they would do if they were wealthy or, "were a rich girl," as the song suggests. There will be a picture of a girl with shopping bags in front of the actor on a clipboard while the actor is sitting on a bed. It will be filmed within my bedroom at my father's house and will be filmed as a medium shot.
Scene 2
This scene will show the actor wondering what they would do if they were wealthy. It will be shown to the audience by having the actor put a hand on their chin and looking up to the ceiling or off in to the distance with a wondering expression. This scene will also be filmed within my bedroom at my father's house and will filmed as a medium shot. After this scene is shown, the transition will be edited so that it looks as though the audience has now entered the author's daydream.
Scene 3
In this scene, the actor will wake up wearing an eye mask above their eyes as well as fancy pajamas. The actor will stretch their arms as well to show that they have just woken up. It will be filmed as a full shot within the bedroom of my mother's house.
Scene 4
Within this scene, the actor will clap their hands. After this has been done, a butler will walk to the bed where the actor is holding a tray of breakfast foods. This scene will show that the actor is so wealthy, they have their own personal butler. The actor will take one bite of the foods and then immediately put the tray down. This is done in order to reduce the length of the music video, allowing for it to be within the 58-60 second time frame. The scene will be filmed within my bedroom at my mother's house as a full shot.
Scene 5
During this scene the actor will walk from the bed to the bathroom, with the goal of putting accessories as well as makeup on. This scene will be filmed as a full shot within my bedroom at my mother's house.
Scene 6
During this scene, the actor will be shown putting on accessories and makeup such as bracelets, earrings, and lip gloss. The camera will be placed behind the actor in order to allow the audience to see the actor's face through the reflection within the mirror. I am not sure how I will do this, or if I will, but if this action does not take place, I will position the camera so that it is facing the actor. This scene will be filmed as a a cowboy shot within my bathroom of my mother's home.
Scene 7
During this scene the actor will walk from the bathroom to the bedroom and then proceed to clap for the butler. I may use subtitles as well to show what the actor is saying, but I am not sure if this will be included in the final product. This scene will be located within the bedroom of my mother's house and filmed as a full shot.
Scene 8
Throughout this scene, the camera will pan from the actor to the butler, where the butler will be holding a pile of clothes for the actor. This scene will be filmed within my bedroom at my mother's house and filmed as a full shot at the shoulder level angle. However, the scene may be filmed as a medium wide shot depending on how it looks while filming.
Scene 9
During this scene, the butler will walk towards the actor and show the actor the clothes available to wear. The actor will wear a thinking expression, and may tap their chin to show that they are thinking of what they should wear. This scene will be filmed as a full shot in my bedroom at my mother's house.
Scene 10
This scene will be of the actor choosing which clothes they will wear for the day and sending the butler away with a wave of their hand. The scene will also be located in my bedroom of my mother's house as a full shot.
Scene 11
This scene will include the actor trying on the chosen clothes with smooth, quick transitions. Each time a new outfit is tried on, a shake of the head or look of disproval will be shown on the actor's face. When the last outfit is tried on, the actor will look exasperated or throw their hands in the air, showing that each outfit is not to their liking. By doing so, the next scenes where the actor goes shopping will fit with the storyline. Subtitles may also be used to express the actor's frustration while trying on the last outfit. The scene will be located in my bedroom of my mother's house and filmed as a full shot.
Scene 12
Within this scene, the actor will walk towards the door of the mall. A purse will be in hand as well, showing that they are ready to enter the mall and spend money. In addition, a mask will be worn throughout this scene as well as the next two in order to follow with the safety precautions in place. The actor may hold a phone or be talking to it, but this has yet to be decided. This scene will be located at my local mall and filmed with the tilt movement as a low angle and wide shot.
Scene 13
During this scene, I have two options of what the actor will do, as indicated by the line split between the box. Both scenes will be filmed within my local mall. In the first option, the actor will be observing several pieces of clothing and adding them to their shopping bag. This option will be filmed as a cowboy shot. During the second option, the actor will walk into various shops while the camera stays in one place, not moving. Editing will be included so that the actor looks as though they are walking into each shop at 2 or 3 times speed. This option would be filmed as a wide shot. Once I begin filming, I will determine which option suits the time frame of the music video better, as well as which option is able to be filmed at the time, as within the second option the mall could be too crowded for filming to take place.
Scene 14
This scene will be of the actor leaving the mall. They will walk out of the mall with several shopping bags, showing that they spent a large amount of money, as the song suggests. The scene will be filmed at my local mall as well as with a wide shot and at a low angle.
Scene 15
Throughout this scene, the actor will have their nails being painted by another person. This scene will be filmed as a medium shot within the dining room of my mother's home.
Scene 16
During this scene, the actor will be seen drinking a smoothie and reading a magazine while the butler from previous scenes is fanning the actor with a large leaf. This scene will be shot by the pool of my backyard at my father's house while the actor is laying on a lounge chair. In addition, the scene will be filmed as a full shot as well.
Scene 17
This scene will include the dreamy effect transition from the second scene to show that the actor is now back in the present, no longer in the realm of the actor's daydream. The actor will have their hand on their chin or will include a far off or distant look in their eyes as well in order to prove that the actor themselves has not been transported to the real world yet. This scene will be filmed within my bedroom of my father's home and will be filmed as a medium shot.
Scene 18
This scene will conclude the music video and will be of the actor shaking their head, in order to show that they are now with the audience: in the real world. The actor will then go back to drawing the picture of what they would do if they were wealthy. This scene will be filmed within my bedroom of my father's home as well and will be filmed as a medium shot.
