Here are some still images from other media sources that have used ideas that we think we will use and will look effective.
The break-up starring Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn contains a lot of clever camera angles which portrays the couple as dis functional.

This is my favourite camera shot as I think it best shows how the couples relationship is. Although this is a shot of a somewhat normal couple sitting on the sofa watching television, there is a noticeable distance between the 2 which suggests there is tension. They are sitting as far away as possible from each other at either ends of the sofa which suggests a lack of intimacy between them. I think this is definitely a shot we would re-create as it is simple to shoot but is very effective.
Here is the idea we have gone for which is a similar idea. We decided having them back to back on the bed would look best as it looks even more awkward as there is a noticeable distance between them and they are not facing each other with they're backs to each other. This will be one of our most successful shots I think because it is makes the audience very aware something is not right.
This still is also taken from The Break-up. I think the way the actors have been placed in the shot is very clever as one of the characters looks really small and insignificant at the back and the other much closer as he is closer to the camera which makes him look more powerful. The man in the picture is portrayed as a typical husband who is sitting on the sofa doing nothing and watching television. Where-as the women is standing up behind him looking tired and in need of some help from her husband. This is typical of a normal couple where the man does nothing to help the women and this shot shows this perfectly.
This is out representation of the previous picture with Emily the girlfriend in the background looking sad, with Joe the boyfriend looking cocky and smug at the forefront of the picture. The framing of this shot is good as the door frame acts as a picture frame with a picture in of the couples life.
Here is a still from the film New Moon which also contains a lot of clever camera angles and shots of Edward ( Robert Pattinson as the back) looking insignificant as Bella becomes friends with Jacob. This shot is interesting as instead of just using full on fighting, this is a shot that shows the emotional torment of being in this kind of relationship. With this particular shot jealously is the main emotion portrayed as Edward is made to look small and insignificant in the background. We wouldn't use this exact shot as our flashbacks are focused on the relationship between the two, but this is a good example of how positions actors are put in can change the focus of a shot.
Here is a picture we took which is similar to the New Moon one. Emily looks back as Joe as if in desperation to save they're relationship and she wonders what went wrong. The use of the mirror also looks interesting for this shot as we can see Joe looking in the mirror at himself looking emotional and confused.
