Timeline

Timeline is a method that is uses the works and the times as a first try at linking images to words and music. By completeing a time line you can see what works and what doesnt work. With a timeline we can test out which line has a performance element with it, which one has a narratine image with is and which one has something else.

So if a line of a song is seven seconds you need to cut on the beat and then find a picture of something that you can hold for seven seconds, this is where a timeline will come in use because you will be able to link these together. Doing the timeline and story board has helped us decide what shots we needed and what we wanted to get across to our audience most. In our case, we have decided that we need more close up shots of the band, for two reasons, firstly, the band is more asthetically pleasing than the OAP faces and secondly because they are the main protagonist and are the ones who are singing the song. From the timeline we move to the storyboard and attached are some examples of the timeline.
