Some Shots I Aim to Use; Urban London Streets and Couple Shots;

Similarly, I have chosen these particular shots to try and capture myself as I believe that the London streets and couples walking is something that further conveys the urban and love based persona, of which I primarily aim to build upon throughout my video.















Some Shots I Aim to Use; Regents Park:

I have chosen these particular shots to give me a template to use in my video as I believe that firstly Regents Park is a very high class nicely preserved area that a lot of couples go to for a day out. This is something that obviously falls in accordance with my video as it is based around the male and female character having days out together and the male character reminiscing about them.


































Plot of Video:

My main plot of my video revolves around the concept of the male character waking up next to his girlfriend (the opening shot). This then sees them spend a day together doing all the things they liked to do, such as cinema and walks in the park. However, it comes to the audiences knowledge that it is simply from the male characters perspective of him reminiscing about the times his girlfriend and him had before she died (something that becomes apparent at the end of the video).

Subsequently, throughout the clip it has certain flashbacks to the times he remember the most, of which are of course the happier times of their relationship as there is nothing to suggest they had any issues. Therefore I felt flashbacks rather than a 'it was all a dream' concept would have a better effect for the audience in them further understanding the plot of the video, as well as avoiding that common cleche.

I have chosen to further do all shots mainly from the male perspective to further accentuate the idea of the flashbacks being from his point-of-view which also falls in sync with the concept of the song as it too is in the male characters point-of-view.
