Initial idea 1Hardest of Hearts – Florence and the Machine

Narrative/ abstract

The video shows a man walking in front of a woman following him as the camera follows both of them at each side of the frame walking in the same direction. The woman lip-syncs the song as she follows him. The distance between the two people changes in relation to the lyrics of the song. Another shot is also used of the man in the centre left of the frame and the woman can be seen behind him and at the end of the video the man approaches another woman and the first woman stops walking and the camera dolly's away from her as it finishes.

Initial Idea 2Go on – Jonsi

Narrative/abstract

The video is shot with two handheld cameras and shows two groups of people documenting a trip out with their friends. One group has a boy holding the camera while the other has a girl holding the camera. The boys camera has the word “Boy” in blue on the corner while the girls has the word “girl” in pink in the corner. The two videos are juxta-positioned together so the events all happen at the same time. The two groups meet on a train as the boy and girl holding the camera see each other down the carriage and film each other. The video then shows them all meeting up and the relationship between these two people growing closer and closer as they go round a new city on their trip, at this point only one camera perspective is shown with the phrase “boy meets girl” in the corner of shot. At the end of the video the boy has to stay and the girl has to leave on the train. The perspective then shifts back to two cameras with the phrase “sad boy” or “sad girl” in the corner of shot
