Initial Ideas for the Story Board

I am in the process of deciding how and where to film my music video. With the amount of research that had been carried out, it is important to pick out one or two ideas and not to over complicate the storyline of the video. At the moment, I find it pretty difficult to actually form any sort of a plot or a storyboard together, but these are my ideas so far:

The plot is being set at school which outlines the routine of the system that being followed, is very repetitive- Wake up, go to school and finish off the homework during the evening- nothing changes throughout the school year!

I would like to include different aspects in the music video, which would also include the sunrise. A whole idea based around the sunrise is to show to the audience that the time is the most precious thing and  life should not be wasted on the things that do not matter. As the result, I would use the sunrise at the start of the music video as an establishing shot, in order to set the mood. A ticking clock would be shown at the bottom- right hand corner with the alarm sound as it is time to get up and get ready for school.  

The music video would be broken down into three parts: failure and introduction, turning point and freedom or success. This initial plot is being used at most of the films that have a 'happy' ending. 

Another idea is to shoot the whole music video from the point of view. Firstly, because this is a rare occasion and I would like to try something different instead of lip singing as the other students would do. The whole purpose I believe behind shooting a music video from the point of view is to create a sense of 'inter-active' audience, which could help the product to  be seen as more interesting and unique. 

Another idea is include different locations as well as countries. In England, I am planning to shoot the first part of the music video and in New York the second part. 

 To conclude, I do not have a clue how to shoot video from the point of view, but it is part of pre-production process to prevent any possibilities of failure. As the result, as I want all of these ideas to work, a well structured storyboard and shooting schedule would be required. Maybe, all of the ideas will not work, but it is worth having a go and trying my best.
