Props List

• Fishing nets
• Flowers
• Picnic Blanket
• Picnic Basket
• Teddy Bears/Soft Toys
• Bubbles

I'm going to try and keep it rather simple and not over use props or have an abundance of props because once you start using loads of props and you decide to film over a few weekends you could begin to forget props and that you need for certain shots and you end up wasting time. Also since its simple and basic props it also makes filming a lot easier as well as it sticks to the narrative and plays out a really nice story.

Evidence of Filming

I decided to film some clips on the 25th of September as the weather forecast looked good for that day and on that day everyone was available. Also since it was a Sunday the places we filmed at were not that busy which is great as no one was in the shots.
Although I did get an abundance of shots I still need to film over one more weekend in one or two more different locations as we were limited for time and I did not get every shot that I wanted.
Overall filming on this day was really good and we got lots of shots and the shots that I did get were good quality.

Pitch Feedback

Overall I think my feedback from my pitch was all around quite positive and everyone enjoyed my idea and thought it could be quite a successful one. Because I'm using my little sister and her boy mate who are 12, I've got to make it look like a very innocent and cute love story which could be really affective.
I was originally going to just film on a sunny day and use the summery vibe to my advantage, but  my teacher thought it would also be a good idea to film on a quite cold and bleak day so I could dress my actors up in scarfs, hats and boots so it makes it that bit more innocent and cute. My teacher also said that I should use a lot of close ups in my video as its the best way to score marks so I will bare that in mind when I make my story board and when I am filming.

Analysis of Song Lyrics

Stuck on the Puzzle

Alex Turner

  

I'm not the kind of fool
Who's gonna sit and sing to you,
About stars, girl.
"I'm not the kind of fool who's gonna sit and sing to you" I think comes from how there are all these other guys swooning over this one girl and playing the Romeo and singing her love songs, whereas Oliver (the lad in the song/film) is setting him self away from all that by not doing things like that.

But last night I looked up into
The dark half of the blue,
And they'd gone backwards.

Something in your magnetism
Must have pissed them off,
Forcing them to get an early night.

I have been searching from
The bottom to the top
For such a sight
As the one I caught when I saw your

Fingers dimming in the lights (Dimming the lights usually mean "setting a mood")
Like your used to being told that you're trouble
And I spent all night
Stuck on the puzzle.
Since the song is from the soundtrack of a film called submarine, I think the "stuck on the puzzle" phrase stems from how the lad in the story can't quite understand why he's so obsessed with this kind of girl because he knows that if he stays she will destroy him and leave him but she is too beautiful too leave which the "I tried to swim to the side bit" comes from. The "puzzle" is why he likes her so much.

Nobody I asked
Knew how he came to be the one
To whom you surrendered

Any man who wasn't led away
Into the other room
Stood pretending

That something in your magnetism
Hadn't just made him drop
Whoever's hand it was that he was holding.
I think this is referring to the fact that the boys were so attracted by this girls "Magnetism" that they unconsciously dropped whoever's hand they were holding.

I have been searching from
The bottom to the top
For such a sight
As the one I caught when I saw your

Fingers dimming in the lights
Like your used to being told that you're trouble
And I spent all night

Stuck on the puzzle

I tried to swim to thee side
But my feet got caught in the middle
And I thought I'd seen the light
But oh no.

I was just stuck on the puzzle
Stuck on the puzzle.

I think that this song is about that one girl everyone wants so badly but cant have and she doesn't even notice you.
