Production Diary 6

Day 6: 23/09/2011

Today we had 2 lessons, Period 1:

We started working out the timings for the song:

Period 3:
We decided to roughly plan out the main storyline of the video and condense it into scenes, here is a rough draft:



We also discussed certain things to do with each scene, for example the flashback where he loses his wife, she was initially going to be a girlfriend but we decided that this might of been hard to film as the scene would be in silence, therefore we decided that if it was his wife, we could use a shot of her throwing her ring at him as a symbolic ending of the relationship.
The flashback of him losing his house was also initially supposed to be him bankrupt, but after toying with ideas of a gambling addiction (too hard to film as we are not 18 and would not be able to film in a casino), him handing over wads of cash (would be too repetitive) and him checking his bank balance (too boring, wouldn’t engage the audience) we decided that it would be much easier and would look more effective if he was to lose his house/ his ex wife has changed the locks and he sees her in the upstairs window with another man.
