We needed some happy scenes and sad ones, so therefore, different costumes were needed for both parts. For example in the happy scenes the girl dressed in bright colours with floral patterns. Her hair was down and curly, which showed that she had spent a lot of time on her appearance, which connotes a positive manner and greatly contrasts with that of the sad scenes. In the sad scenes she wore darker colours and baggy clothing, which connotes lethargy and sadness.
We started filming the happy scenes to get the actors relaxed. The garden scenes allowed the audience to see that their relationship was a deep relationship and not just a 'fling', because the close ups enable the audience to see the emotion on their faces, and therefore when the sad scenes are incorporated in the final edit, they will greatly contrast, evoking an emotional response from the audience. I felt the dancing scenes in the living room especially portrayed the closeness and the romanticism of their relationship. These scenes we plan to edit so they are black and white to reflect the past and memories.
The sad and frustrated scenes are to be left in colour to reflect the present day and show the audience what their relationship has become. We decided to film an argument in the kitchen, because it is a domestic part of the house and makes the scene more realistic because the audience can picture themselves in that position.
The two separate rooms, where they are arguing and crying on the phone were shot to represent the space between them. The girl's room was typically girly, with flowers on the wall and makeup in the background. The boy's room was darker, which is typically a boys sort of room.
We filmed close ups in the sad scenes too, because we felt this would contrast dramatically with the happy scenes, showing progression and evoking further sadness from the audience point of view.
Here are some pictures of our narrative location:
