What?

'I know the world can turn in different ways 
Most of the time we're simply hangin' on

But under the signs of how we all behave
We might find the place where we belong...'


The second, third and fourth lines of this verse have caused me some problems whilst storyboarding, as I cannot find a way to visualise the themes in the verse. It is also impossible to have this verse as just a series of band shots as it is followed by a 23 second long instrumental. Consequently, I shall try to tease a narrative out of the lines. I though that setting this scene in a library or study might be appropriate given the fact that if the location is public there are signs telling you how to behave and it is a suitable location for there to be a globe which the lead character can spin to represent the world turning in different ways. I have researched whether there was a giant globe located in the UK which was similar to the Unisphere in New York City and there isn't so therefore I chose a library location. I did find out that the Natural History Museum in london had a large globe but I have chosen not to film in this location as the Globe does not spin and also has an escalator running through it.

My First shot will be a shot of the lead character hand spinning the globe before it leads to a shot like this where he (the older man in this photo) watches the spin and lip syncs the lyrics.










The shot following on from the globe spinning shot will be the lead character walking through the library being trailed by the camera, before he reaches a point where the camera can pan upwards and find a sign that tells him how to behave/ or he picks up a bible and shows the ten commandments. Directly following this he will be shown outside the library trying  to find a place that he belongs. Resulting in a shot like the one on the left. This theme will continue on into the instrumental before it cuts to band shots.
