Storyboarding: Feedback From Class

In lesson today I did a group discussion with the class. After they listened to the song, they gave me some feedback ideas for a narrative. Here is a list of some of their main ideas:

• Most of the class said that I should make the narrative quite funny and use humour.
• One idea was that I do it in the style of a silent film, with the over-the-top acting etcetera. For this they recommended the music video We Speak No Americano.
• Another idea was for either the killer to be chasing the victim, or a policemen to be chasing the killer, in different locations and in different wacky costumes.
• Someone else imagined a slightly less funny video. In this the band could be tied up in an abandoned building and are about to be killed by the psycho killer.
• Another idea is for what they termed 'an axe murderer's day off', where you could see the murderer, dressed in a typical murderer costume, going about normal activities such as shopping.
• Someone else also mentioned being tied up to a wheelchair.

These ideas would fit nicely with my own idea for a Scooby Doo shot, as that is also funny. I like the idea of a silent film the most, though this may not go so well with any performance shots. I might also be able to fit in an axe murderer's day off shot too depending on how the narrative plays out. The idea about being chased by the policemen or chasing the victim could fit nicely with the silent film idea.


Upon reflection of the class's ideas, me and others came up with our own thoughts which expanded on them. Expanding on the silent film idea, it was recommended that I put the line 'Qu'est-ce que c'est' on a slide, like how the films used top portray dialogue, and follow it up with clips from old Hammer Horror films. However, at this point we were thinking on the lines that 'Qu'est-ce que c'est' meant something like; Who are you?. However, I have since realised that it actually means What is it? or What is this?. None the less, I still like the idea of Hammer Horror clips.
