Our Influence
The series of shots we have created for the anti-climax scene just weren't right and didn't work with the song so we decided as a group to do something different. After brainstorming as a group we came up with an idea that was influenced by the film Citizen Kane.
The famous quote 'It was a marriage just like any other marriage' which was said by Charles Foster Jane is said just before a montage sequence begins.
This is the couple at the beginning of they're relationship. They are clearly happy and in love as her lovingly kisses her on the cheek and she smiles.
Here is our version of this shot:
Our take on the shot is a lot less glamorous and more realistic. We did this because the couple in our video are an ordinary couple sharing a glass of wine and enjoying each others company. This shot will be turned black and white once edited into the video.
The last shot of the montage shows how distant the couple have become as they are sitting as far away as possible from each other. The closeness between the couple has clearly deteriorated as the distance from the initial shot of them together compared to this one is considerably large. The couple don't make eye contact or communicate at all which gives the audience a sense of hatred, awkwardness and tension.
Our version of the shot:
Once again our shot is much more normal and typical of a young couple with the simple mise-en-scene and casual clothing. The couple are also sitting at completely opposite ends of the table like in Citizen Kane and not making eye contact and will not be communicating in the shot.
We do not want our version of the shots to be the same as Citizen Kane so we have developed a series of shots that will suit the style of our music and also the way the video has been edited so far. Our plan was to have quick shots of me, Charlotte, Laura and Sophie wearing white tops and edit them in between each table shot. The reason we are doing it this way is because we want to reinforce the fact that the reason Joe & Emily are drifting further apart is because Joe keeps cheating on her with each of us 4 girls.
