So of the 2 clips from class that were the most workable, I tended to gravitate more to the clip where she tell's him she loves him. audio clip
I've worked out a couple set ups, I would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions! Thank you in advance!
Option 1
Option 1,
She had been thinking about what he had told her. He had said he loved her, and she did not reciprocate. He's at home, upset. She finally comes to the realization that she does love him too, and does not want to lose him. She rushes to the nearest phone she can find to call him. She gets his answering machine (I've decided on the 80's cuz I wanted the visual cue of her leaving a message and him sitting there listening). I want the lower/side half of screen camera to start the answering machine and during the declaration, it slowly pans to him.
Option 2
Similar backstory to the above, but she rushes to his house instead. I do want to play with weather. (even with my limited maya skills, lol) But show it in her hair, her clothing, if possible.
Option 3
He told her he loved her right before he goes to University, expecting her to immediately tell him she loves him too. He's dejected and waiting at the trainstation. She meets him there and "pleads" her case.
Option 4
I wanted this to be a play on class. Set in 1910-ish. She comes from wealth and him not so much. They had this torrid affair behind her family's back. He told her he loved her. She didnt say anything because he is NOT who "a well to do" woman should be involved with. She decided, she doesnt care what her family thinks. She loves him! She goes to see him at the stables, embarrased, and tells him exactly how she feels.
I have not shot the ref yet. It may change depending on the consensus is of the scenario.
Hi Ellen, lots of good ideas in here. I think my favorites are 1, 2, and 4, in that order.
ReplyDelete1 - I like the idea of the split screen, and seeing him listening to the message. Could you do this with a locked off camera, so that you see both characters through the whole shot?
2 - I like the idea of playing with the weather, not so much for the fx, but to see how you would play her body language if she's cold and/or wet.
4 - I like the visual barrier of the stable door between them, and the idea of making this a period piece.
Overall #1 seems the most inventive to me, though. Good stuff!
