Storyboards, Planning, Creative Differences and other such things!

My group and I started planning the music video for our preliminary task. The song we are making a video for is 'Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head' by B.J. Thomas, written by Hal David and Burt Bacharach. We started shooting the video but due to creative difference we decided that the original video we had planned and written out was too convoluted so we went back to the drawing borad or should I say storyboard haha... I'm hilarious! Anyway we decided to start agian and we are going to scrap the previous film we did and start fresh.


Here's part of the new plan...



The basic idea we have for the music video is that we will show the protagonist dumped by his girlfriend and then walks around trying to cheer up but he can't seem to cheer up or rather get over his ex girlfriend. He then begins walking around with no destination in mind and this is to represent that he is simply lost in the world and he is confused and without direction he looks back a couple times and this represents him trying to see if he can go back to how things were but he soon finds out that he can't because his girlfriend is in a relationship with his friend, so then the protagonist goes on top of a large building and looks over the edge the final scene is music-less and of the protagonist walking off into the darkness. In the plan we left this ambiguous because we wanted to let the viewer decide whether the protagonist took his life over the events or is simply in a darker place.

This is the full storyboard:
