Planning - Narrative

Our overall narrative for our piece is about a boy and a girl relationship, seeing if they can manage with being miles apart - as she is going to university. We thought that this would be a particularly good structure for a narrative as it did not completely conform with the lyrics, it only connected with the lyrics by the different emotions that will be shown. We will not be fitting the film word for word with the lyrics, for example, if it were to mention they were on the telephone, we would not show a clip of them on the phone. This gives us more of a range of material and creative ideas to work with, other than sticking to it as thought it were like a script.  


For out narrative we want to use a range of shots, especially when she is telling the boyfriend that she got into the university that she wanted, but we want to capture his initial reaction, when she is hugging him. This would be effect as the audience see the emotion that he is going to experience, but also that he does not want to show her how much it is going to hurt her leaving. This is technically showing the lyrics through his emotions, which we thought would be effective as in a range of music videos they do look at the women's stories more, as the men are seen as the masculine and proud ones, but here if we show his emotions of her leaving it does not conform with the specific music video narratives.
