References to films

One of our shot ideas has come from a film known as the 'Royal Tenenbaums'. The shot consists of he male gaze, where as the woman walks towards the man she walks in slow motion and is surrounded by light making her look like shes floating in an angelic way. In our music video were using this in the way that he's looking at her, he adores her, a look of love.

We intend to take the scene and use it in a different way. In the scene we see her step off a bus, we intend to use the shot on a bridge as she walks towards him, a meeting of lovers.

Also in the shot we can see that there is a beige colour around her, making her seem warm and homely.



Another film reference we are encountering is the opening to JUNO. The cartoon moving picture effect we thought was really effective and so we have decided that we would like to use the same method. For the narrative parts of our music video we are going to use this moving picture technique and have  a cartoon effect over the top as we feel it sets a nice tone to our song gone & been and also fits  the mood of it. We will not use this effect within the performance side of the video just so we can exercise some more techniques and also add another feeling and a whole other side to the music video. We also are using the performance side to be 'hyper real' by having this as her safe haven within her mind and then the narrative to be the 'realism'.
