This document provides a storyboard for the music video of Clean Bandit's "Rather Be". It outlines 26 shots describing the scene, type of shot, and camera movement. The storyboard shows scenes of a girl in her bedroom getting ready, writing in a notebook, interacting with a man watching TV, and going for a ride on her motorbike where she encounters a large truck. The shots transition between close-ups, mid-shots, and long shots with pans, tracks, and cuts to tell the visual story of the song.
