After filming some shots last Saturday we were looking back and although we got alot of good shots, we wanted to further show that the performer "Eddy" in the narrative is more alone than we have portrayed him to be since his partner has recently died, so we wanted to further show his depression.
When watching the music video "Move along-All American Rejects" we were inspired by a particular scene that we strongly wanted to use in our video, it connotes loneliness and looks very effective, the song is also a similar type of song and the under lining meaning behind it is similar, about wanting to break out of your day to day job and move on from someone you have lost, although its hard because of the depressing feelings you have. I think that the LS establishing shot of him eating at the table has to be my favourite shot, the table is set for two, connoting he has prepared for two people to eat.
however he is the only one eating, as if he doesn't want to let go to that person and doesn't want t accept there gone. Also the shots of how the person at each table would see each other I think is very effective. We will definitely be constructing this setting on Saturday and I think it will be very effective in our video.
I agree this is certainly something we can look to achieve using similar ideas as it definately connotes lonliness, depression and the idea of missing someone which is what we have set out to do. I think that the idea of an empty place at the table is enough to show this and possibly at the location of a restaraunt could be perfect for this which we could shoot anywhere local.
