Planning

Here is a spider diagram of our first ideas for our production work. We originally decided that the establishing shot would be of the couple in a shop laughing, holding hands etc. Then they were going to start shopping and he would realise he has no money. For the choruses we were going to have many shots of people lip syncing, the first chorus being the male lip syncing in different settings for example in a street, in a field, in a car etc. For the second chorus we were going to have it similar to the first chorus, but have the girl green screened into the background with another boy - perhaps giving him her number or flirting with him. The final chorus (which is a much longer chorus than the others) we were going to have various faces lip syncing, such as the male, the female, the other male and many several random people. Whilst there is a guitar solo we were going to have him asleep or thinking about them and when they used to have a fun time together without them arguing. We were going to have shots such as them walking into a cinema, and then walking back out laughing with popcorn (to give the effect that it looks as though they have been in to watch a film). For the final shot we were going to have the male lying in bed and he wakes up from this 'dream' and finds that the girl is lying in bed with him and that they are okay and happy. We then decided that for a narrative it could be very confusing, as the spending money scene is irrelevant to her being with another boy, and them being happy. Therefore we spent another lesson planning it again which will be on here shortly.
