We have created a rough shot list through a brainstorming session. I will organize this list though different parts of the video that we want in there.
The first part, when the boy meets the girls at the bar and gives her flowers. During this we wanted a low tracking shot of his feet walking to the bar, we wanted to start with this bit during the intro of the song and also because it gives some enigma. We then thought about having the shot pull away and become a stationary following shot from behind watching the actor move away from the camera at a long range shot. We then wanted a the same shot from the front, we also wanted varying shots from either side and possibly a close up on the flowers, then the boys face. We wanted to do it this way to create some enigma and make the audience ask questions, e.g. who his he? whys he got flowers? Cut through this we wanted a shot of the girl standing around waiting for him to start creating the story.
The next part of the narrative is seeing the 'couple' going to the cinema, this will include a long shot of the cinema which will become an establishing shot. We want a shots of the happy couple so close ups on happy faces and laughter, we also want stereotypical ways of showing attraction such as peoples eyes, holding hands, hugging and kissing.
Through out this, we would cut in the band playing the song in a different location. The first shot we wanted of the band was at the start of the intro with a close up of guitar strings. Then we wanted to add many shots, as we don't want to leave the camera still for to long, we want to make the band seem energetic and we could do this by having loads of shots.
For the final part, we are going to have the boy making a meal at home, this will mean we need shots showing how much effort he has put into the meal and how he out of depth. We will use quick editing and close ups to show how he is struggling and how he can't keep up.
