Eds Storyboard

This was a story board submitted by a member of the group. It shows 2 people flying across the coast then going to a house and by the looks of it one of them dying.

My Storyboard

I decided to do a storyboard with the idea there was no budget and anything was possible.
The story behind this is that a couple are walking across the coast they decide to go for a swim in the ocean and start swimming out. They start swimming out into the ocean and come across a school of fish. As the school of fish come over the main chorus comes in then as the final verse comes in the girl swims off the screen with the fish and the man is left there depressed.

Gratification Theory

What is Gratification Theory?

Gratification Theory is when we watch something because it feels good, this could be watching a music video with action in more recent pop music videos for example. Hip-Hop does this often but the fans of this music gratification is riches showing how the artist came from nothing and now has everything.

What is the Gratification Theory for Indie Rock? 

The kind of video that normally satisfied Indie Rock is all in the location a calming beach or a forest next to a lake its all in the scenery for these kind of videos this is something we will need to heavily focus on when producing our music. To get a better understanding of the gratification factors for this genre it would be a good idea to evaluate a music video for this genre.

Mumford and Sons Hopeless Wanderer is a good example of the gratification for this genre as you can see the background is a open field with a calm atmosphere to go with the music this satisfying the audience. It is to do with the lifestyle getting closer to mind and soul and taking a break from modern times.
