Filming Effects and Ideas

Now we have a solid idea and understanding of the song we thought about how we could present our ideas through the camera.
We quickly decided to use the flashbacks in our video, to show different time periods and also to show emotions/feelings. We used flashbacks in our previous course last year, and we felt it worked well, so we decided to stick to our strengths.

Last time we used the flashback effect, colour represented present day, and black and white represented the past. However, this time we decided to do it the other way round.
Colour would show past memories of when the couple were happy and content with one another, and black and white would show the present day when things aren't so positive anymore. We decided to do it this way round because we felt colour shows happiness and black and white shows a feeling of negativity and generally feeling low, drained.
For the colour parts we would show the couple together and how they once were, the black and white would show them going their separate ways. The split screen affect will also work well here as we will be able to show what the two individuals are doing when they are apart.
