I originally had 2 ideas which was the memorial one with candles, flashbacks and emotion through music. I also had the modern day approach idea which was interpret the poem differently and use the words to translate to a nightout/house party so have the blinds come down as the sun rises after a night out and watch the girls go home doing the 'walk of shame' but unfortunately Helen didn't think this would be very easy idea so I decided to use my other idea instead and add stuff to it making it a secure and finished idea here is the ideas:
- boy crying over a loved one/soldier
- Candles flickering (lots of candles filling a room)
- POV of the person so the audience can feel and see everything through them
- See the main characters hands when open doors and maybe a look down at the ground and see there feet
- Emotion piece so no talking or anything except natural buzz track and music.
- Sunset over the fields as the blinds come down over the day.
- A look at he sky to see the stars, one for every man sacrificed
- A group of girls chatting outside the cinema causes da ja vou and we see a quick flashback a few years ago when he was younger and the girls were doing the same thing
The only critical stuff with all this is I need to find where I am going to film and if it fits plus I see that I can't just hid my character and that the audience needs something to relate to so I need to show more of him which I can plan to put into the script but I don't want to show there whole identity I wan tot keep some as a mystery, also I can see that the POV is going to make some trouble for me as its not going to be steady and could loo really bad so I need to work on the hand shake and use everything I can to stop the bouncing around and as smooth as possible, this might mean making more cuts and doing the filming over and over till I get it right and as smooth as possible I just need to be careful if its over a day as the weather can change.
