Main Pitch

Review so far

So far we have sucessfully completed most of the research and planning work and we are soon going to be moving onto the film part of our project. we expect to start shooting on tuesday the 13th. On this day we are going to try and complete the outside shots and maybesome of the pub shots.
As a group we feel we are working well so far and should to be able to complete our blogs and music video before christmas. :)

Recce Shots

 We thought we might be able to use the stage in the hall for a position where Adam might be able to play the acoustic and sing to represent his loneliness  Also the long distance makes it more diverse.

 We would like to incorporate nice trees and fields where the couple could sit when he is reminiscing about happy times.

 Another happy scene could be the couple messing around together in the park, a typical romantic film setup.

 We like the idea of nice landscapes and though he could be standing by the lake drinking and looking at his reflection in the water. Also it could fade back into happy times when they used to sit by the lake and have a picnic.

 We are going to try to include shots of him sitting on a bench by himself drinking to show is loneliness.

 Again looking into the lake to see reflection to bring him into reality, fading back to when they were feeding the ducks together.

 Again a bench to show his loneliness.

 We are going to try and include shots of the couple walking together holding hands to set the scene at the start of the music video.

 Also a nice place where they couple could be sitting.

 Again a nice happy bright landscape for the couple to be seen being happy.

 This was another play park we were thinking about using for when the couple are messing about and having fun.

 This is another bench we thought we could include him sitting here with the girl and then through out the music video when things get worse he is sitting on a different bench. This bench is on a hill so shows the high point in his life, compared to the other benchs which would be on normal ground level.

 Another path the couple could be holding hands down, this would be ideal because of the street lighting, also the length and shape would be go to slowly fade them into the distance, which could represent them faded apart and breaking up.

Another scene we are going to use is the local pub where the main character in the music video is going to be seen drinking alot, we will use this booth as he is segregating himself from everyone else and whats to be alone. We may also use the bar.
