- The use of flashbacks - Edited in an over-exposed way to create a 'dream like' look.
- The film would be based upon a male character writing a speech in which he would use when asking his girlfriend to marry him.
- It would be kept fairly light-hearted until a change of mood at the end where the audience will realise that she is in fact dead as he puts the speech amongst flowers on the roadside.
However, after exploring this concept more and more, we began to understand that it may become quite tedious for our audience. Therefore, we dramatically changed the idea. Now instead of the male's girlfriend having died, she is simply very uninterested in him. The plot will follow him in different areas of a typical park setting, as he thinks of different ways that he can impress her. An endless cycle will be hinted towards the end as once he has realised she doesn't like him, he moves on to the next girl he sees.
This concept has a much more light-hearted approach. This will be considered through different elements that would create a more humorous piece. Examples of these would be:
- Him practicing talking to her with a statue
- A fantasy (dream) sequence as they skip through the park together and laugh in slow motion - very cheesy!
- Him handing her a bunch of flowers she's allergic to
- Writing an awful poem for her
I am looking forward to editing this project as I feel there will be a lot of lee-way to input creative ideas to the director. I would like to keep the pace of the film through cutting between different camera angles - I will therefore be suggesting this on the day of filming as it is obviously better (for me especially) to have too much footage rather than not enough. I would also like to experiment with different filters on final cut, especially for scenes such as the 'dream sequence'.
