thoughts and ideas( 1 )

We first decided to do a narrative video following a love enchanted couple who are torn apart by a horrific tragedy. We decided to rethink our idea because it appears extremely difficult to act a 'story' out any where to a professional industry standard. this was simply due to the lack of resources as we were limited to people with little or non acting experience and the problem of camera fright.

Our basic idea, illustrated roughly below was a man, walking down a road after falling out with his girlfriend/wife, and getting confronted by a car. the shot would move quickly from a two-shot (containing both the man and the car from side angle) to close up of the mans face. Then a dream effect would be used to simulate a flashback of his life and the shot would disappear with a fast zoom into his eye. With the dream effect still in place several events of his life such as a wedding, children's birthday parties and the pub with his mates. To make this seem more realistic quick cuts would need to be used to create a montage effect for the audience. After this series of events the camera would quickly zoom out to reveal a close up of the man breathing heavily with shock as the car has stopped inches from him, which would be revealed with another two-shot.
