Hi peeps, my name is Ken and I am working on a school project to
create a music video. Please give me feedbacks on my storyboards
and ideas as part of my survey data collection assignment. I have a
survey previously put up here in EDMW, it'd be nice if you could
help complete it: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/7LZLYTM
This is the song i've chosen to base my project on:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HacRaenDOGc
It is a C-pop, soft rock song that is written, composed and sang
by the late Taiwanese singer 张雨生.
Logline: Saved by a young man, the love-struck girl struggles to
confess to the guy she loves and misses her opportunity. A present
of love that was never delivered.
Synopsis: A young secondary school girl is depressed looking
down at a bow-tie in her hand on a gloomy raining afternoon.
(Flashback of her story begins outside of a school when she is
saved by her classmate from walking into the path of an oncoming
car. She is grateful and after they part, she picks up the bow-tie
that was dropped by the young man when he was trying to save her.
After the incident, they got closer and become good friends in
class. Their love for each other grows as they are hanging out
together in school. She shies away from the boy every time he tries
to get close to her and can only think about it in her bedroom
playing with the bow-tie. Weeks after, she finally summons her
courage and approach the guy after school on a rainy day. When she
is about to confess by returning the bow-tie, she is interrupted by
a girl from the other class and it turns out she has been going out
with him recently. She is dumbfounded as rapid images of the past
fills her mind revealing how she have missed her opportunities to
the other girl.) The flashback ends when it transits into the
current time (at the start of the video) where the bow-tie in her
hand transforms into a butterfly and guides her vision into the sky
above. The rain stopped and the sun shines through the clouds.
