Week 8 - (26/03/10) - Scenes and ideas

Here is a step to step guide of what will be in the sequence to create this story. Hopefully the images taken will be strong enough to represent the ideas we have produced.

1. Female alone looking at a photo of them together (really upset)



2. We zoom into the photo and transition to white glare



3. Have a series of photographs of them playing together in park/ walking/ carving name in tree/ holding hands & hugging etc. (As shown below) > scattered paper in heart shape and names written on tree >
4. Finish this sequence with boy and girl with hands in heart shape together (as mentioned before)



5. Gradually zoom in and out of the heart to reveal the girl on her own making the shape with her hands (to show love is still there even though they're not together)



6. She picks up the photo from on her lap and rips the photo into pieces/ upset.



7. The pieces then scatter around and form a heart shape (iconic imagery for this theme)



8. Cut to boyfriend, walking down street holding flowers, pan/zoom out to reveal he is outside a graveyard



9. He walks into the graveyard and the camera tilts up to the sky



10. Over the image of the sky, the quote will be included as a way of concluding exactly what happened.

Locations for photographs

Also this week we decided on exact locations for taking the photographs. For the final scene with the boyfriend at a grave yard we will use the entrance to the graveyard in Kingston, situated behind Clayhill Halls. For the memories scene we decided between either Richmond Park or Bushy park in Kingston, as a park is an iconic place to see couples enjoying themselves. In the end we chose Bushy Park as there is a lot of grass and flat land ideal for the shots we want. For the opening scene with just the girlfriend we needed the location to represent heaven/ or the afterlife as she has died and is looking back over there time together. So i also thought Richmond park because of the hills, and if we got the sun shining behind her the image would look heavenly. Though Richmond Park would probably be too busy so people would constantly be in the frame so we decided to use a field in kingston instead. We have decided to place the girlfriend in front of a tree/bush of white flowers, as it looks pure and holy. As well as these locations we hope that the weather will be clear as the image will be more suitable in sunny weather, especially the happy memories.
