- Fire wood and newspaper - we are still going to use the idea of having a fire to symbolise romance ('a light/spark'), and to go with the lyrics of the song, as we were before hand.
- Photos of Charlotte Hodges and Guy Walker together - these will be uses as photos of the couple in our music video, which will be burned to show how the boy is in pain, and wants to forget about the girl.
- A swing in a tree - often this is seen as romantic in music videos and romantic films, so we managed to find one which we can use for our music video to show the couple being in love.
- 2 mobile phones - we need these to show the couple on the phone to each other while in bed, to give the impression to the audience that the couple always want to be talking/with one another, and that they miss each other when not together. One of the mobile phones is also used to show the girl rejecting the boys call, which will help show the breakdown of the relationship and how she doesn't want to be with him anymore.
- A bottle of whisky - often alcohol is used to show when people are sad (wanting to 'drown their sorrows'), so we will have the boy drinking whisky at the fire to show he is hurting.
- A phone box - also used as a means of communication between the couples. However, for our story, it shows the girl not answering his calls, and him being in the phone box - it shows him being 'trapped and alone' which we are trying to imply to the audience.
- A computer - this is needed to show the boys e-mail inbox being empty, which also helps show his loneliness and how the girl won't talk to him.
- A suitcase - to show that the girl is moving/going away when she is at the train station, this also helps emphasise that she will be gone for a long time, although it also leaves ambiguity on why she is going, where she is going, or how long she will be gone for.

Well done Louis for getting yur revised planning onto your blog. I like the idea of the final shot on the railways station. Look up on IMDB the film "Brief Encounter" - an iconic film noir with a great deal of footage on a railway station. Try to see if you can find any clips on you tube. I do have the film here.
ReplyDeleteI cannot emphasise enough how important it is to make inter textual references to real media texts that have inspired your ideas. These can be films, TV texts, music videos, magazine adverts etc. Note above re Bief Encunter.
