Rough Draft Video Storyboard

Here is a rough storyboard I have for my video project. I am currently working on film and the order of all the information acquired. I am excited that I get the opportunity to working with a Tesla product. The are quite the machines that everyone says they are. For more information about the car, check out my storyboard to get a rough idea what parts of the vehicle will be discussed in the video.

Video Reviews

The first video I will be discussing is Glory At Sea. The story that the video is giving is that basically this guy makes a boat out of scrap laying around. His goal is to find his loved ones lost at sea. It turns out many other people go with him to find their loved ones as well. We see a lot of underwater scenes and the landscape that the setting offers. It looks like some type of storm or natural disaster has occurred (Hurricane Katrina). I think the video gives the reader a great sense of what is happening. Some tips I have picked up is the way this was videoed. The detail that was put into the video was amazing.

The second video I did was the poem One Art. This poem resembles the "mastering of losing". She mentions a lot of different things that she loses in her lifetime. The genre taken here is the form of a video poem. The images that are added within video gave the reader a good representation of things being lost. For example, trees losing their leaves and flowers losing life. The background noise and music make the poem more sympathetic since things are being lost. The tip I will take from this video is again the video skills and quality. The pictures referring to exactly everything that is being said.

The last video is Lick The Star. Lick The Star basically tells the story of how the popular girl (Chloe) can go from the top to rock bottom instantly. Everyone wanted to be like Chloe. She dressed more risqué. She wore dark lipstick. She even smoked. The video seems to be taking place in the 1990's. It's in black and white and the fashion seems to have that vibe. The genre could possibly be like a documentary about the group of friends of Chloe and Chloe herself. The video tells a great story itself and that is the biggest tip I will pick up from this video. Also the video editing and script is set up very well.

Reverse Engineering

Watching Lick the Star by Sophia Coppola is trying the put the idea of a normal seventh grade class. We have a cool girl that everyone wants to be like and her name is Chole. Chole thinks she is he queen of the school. She smokes to be "cool". Also, she has her own little group of friends. Chole is the one who can get away with anything she wants.Kate is an innocent girl who wants to fit in with Chole. Kate wants to do everything that Chole and her friends do. For example, Kate gets caught smoking and gets in trouble with the school for doing it.

Chole wants to poison kids at her school using rat poison. The code name that they use is called "lick the star". Chole gets her role changed near the end of the story. She gets made fun off for using the term "lick the star" and people find out that she is trying to use rat poison on them. Chole then tries to drown herself in her bathtub but fails to do so. She mentions at the end how "the tables have turned".

One of the books that was in the story that could be in the authors database is Flowers in the Attic. This is where they get the term "lick the star" in the first place. I love the fact that the video itself was in black and white. It gave the story a vintage vibe to it. Along with the music gave the story the same vibe. With Chole being the star in the school, I like how they made everyone in the story seem so innocent and seem like they are actually in the seventh grade. Compared to Chole she had on dark lipstick and smoking and she acted "older" in a way with everything she was doing and how she dressed.
