A Timeline is the first chance to look at whether or not your ideas will work with the song you have picked. Timelines allow you to see if the right shots will fit in at the right places and see if the lyrics will match up with the shots. It allows you to see what works and what doesn’t work. For example in our timeline we managed to figure out that our tracking shots will work well in the slow parts of the song, we managed to listen to the song and look at how long each section was and time each of our shots.
So we realised we can get one long tracking shot which will start as an extreme close up of our singers lips and track out to eventually reveal her sitting on a sing. Something that didn’t work for us was trying to timeline a stylised sequence in our video in the style of ‘OK GO’, due to the fact that we didn’t know the exact movements in the sequence made it very difficult to try and plot the different shots within the timeline therefore this didn’t work very well.
Getting in a mess while editing - a man who did not have a timeline or a storyboard!!
