Music Video - The Memories (Photograph Ideas)

In our video we decided to use a sequence where the boyfriend rips up a picture of the two of them in a fit of rage. He then later puts the two parts of the tpicture back together which will then move into a memory of the two from this photo.
Our idea was that it would be a picnic in which the memory takes place and here are some ideas used from the internet of what the images could look like.


This picture has the two of them looking at each other in a loving way which I feel would be a good idea as this is a memory of the good times in which the two shared. We want to make it clear that the two were quite clearly in love with one another and with this pose it could be made quite clear.


I found that this picture was maybe better in the sense that the two seem to be very laid back which then relates highly to the subculture in which we are trying to imitate and the age in which are characters are supposed to be, laid back is very major within this stereotype and we want to put this across in our stereotype as much as possible. However as this is a happy memory I want this to be a much happier picture to put that across or else it may not look believable to the audience that these two were so blissfully in love.


This couple looks very happy together which is the look I really feel we need to portray. Also with the use of the props we are a lot more able to tell that this is a picnic and as we can tell the audience this in words it is vital we tell the audience through what they see visually. As part of the memory is that the boyfriend leans back though however, I do not want them to be leaning back in the photo as what is in the photo is going to be the same as the scene in which it cuts straight to so everything needs to be right. I was also considering whether the picture should be held by one of the couple and taken by one of them of the two or whether it should be on a timer or whether we should get an extra to take a photo of the two as we need to keep it realistic in every sense.

When on set we will take the photographs so that then it makes it easier to quickly make the transition from photo to memory. I think that we will take photos of a few different positions until we find one that works the best in what we are trying to do yet include the elements in which we have likes from these photos. We will probably take the photo on the camera itself as then it is in the right position to start recording straight afterwards and make our continuity a lot more successful.
