StoryBoard Ideas

 For this scene the couple are going to be walking hand in hand down the road. We could use both a close-up cut in shot of them holding hands and and long shot to show them walking down the street. We could use point of view shot at the same eye level and an over the shoulder shot to signify  conversation between the couple and close-up to show expressions. The lighting should be kept dim and the video filter should have a brown-ish tinge to signify that it is an old video but i don't feel the lighting should be too dark as at this moment the characters are in a state of equilibrium therefore lighting should reflect connotations of happiness. 

I envision the couple walking through the corridors of the museum hand in hand and being filmed at a mid shot from behind. Then at the stairs of the museum a long shot should be used to show the couple walking down the stairs. The lighting should be natural and light again to connote with feelings of happiness. 

In the proposal scene a long shot that reveals the bandstand and the couple standing in the centre of it. The camera will then focus on the man who kneels to the floor and a close-up shows his hand in his pocket that then pulls out a ring. A low angle shot tilted upwards then shows the female delighted. The lighting is natural and light. 










For the ballroom scene we want the couple to be dancing. The female actor will be wearing a ballroom gown and the male wearing a suit.  We will use a range of mid shots, full length shots, over the shoulder shots and close-up shots. 

For the letter reading scene a close up and mid shot is to be used. the mid shot establishes that he is reading a letter and then the cloes-up of his face shows his expression and a close-up of the letter reveals what has been written.  

 The scenes where the female character is alone should use long shots to emphasise her isolation. The lighting should be dark to reflect the sadness. Close-Ups of her face should be show that she is crying and looks emotional. Again, with the goodbye scene close-ups should be used to show his and her emotions. 

  
For the goodbye scene a Long shot and mid shot should show the two hugging good-bye. An over the shoulder shot tilted upwards should reveal  the male actor and his expression looking upset and then then vice-versa with the woman looking upset. once the male actor gets on the train there should be a long shot of the woman stood crying. This will evoke emotion from the audience and engage them with our storyline. 






I had the concept for the theatre that the male actor is on the stage while the female actor is in a chair watching him, therefore a low angel shot tilted upwards from the females perspective would work well to show the man on stage. 
Another concept i had was in a cinema that both the couple are sitting in chairs and we video them together watching a film. For this i would use a mid length two shot.

I've taken inspiration from the notebook scene where the two main characters first meet. For this scene i will have an establishing shot to show the setting. The lighting will be dark because we will film the fair at night but the luminous lights will glow and it will make the video look effective and attractive. When the couple go on rides and are walking around i will use close-up shots to show their faces, mid-shots and long-shots. 

Lighting 
For the music video "The One That Got Away"by Katy perry the flashbacks are in an almost sepia filter with low key lighting to show that Perry's character is looking back into the past. I think using lighting and filters that help the audience to determine the date that the video is based is important as it strongly signifies the era we are working with. Due to the fact that technology was not very advanced during the 1940's and the video's were not of the same quality like the modern day it makes the overall effect of the video more retro and dated.
