These are the shots from my story board I began filming today..
PUT STORY BOARD IMAGES
Props
- Water fountain- To help set the scene, water also symbolises pure and innocence eg. holy water.
- Watering can- I chose the watering can to again emphasise the point above as she is pouring water in the plants. It is also ironic that she is giving life to these flowers which is representing the life she has in herself when she is happy yet the life she doesn't have when she is sad.
- Ice-cream- To link with the lyrics.
- Bike- A hobbie everyone enjoys doing to emphasise she is still a normal person.
Costume
I chose to put my actress in vintage type clothing as a conventional style of Lana Del Reys reto look as shown in one of my posts before. This is for the reason of me choosing a white baggy top and levi shorts. I chose to put her in a white top as white connotes innocence and purity. It also reflects light and is considered a summer colour which fits in with the garden scene, eating ice-cream in the sun. Also to emphasise that it was set in the summer was the use of the summer hat she was wearing at the time too. The levi shorts are often also found in a lot of vintage shops as they have usually been cut from old jeans.
Mise en scene
I chose to film this scene in the garden because it is a natural setting. Also the reason for the use of the colourful flowers which could symbolise the life that the character actually holds in one of her sides. When we also see someone surrounded by nature we perceive them as pure and other positive connotations that come with it.
Cinematography
I chose to put a few long shots in these scenes. The reason for this is because the people that see her from this life are distant and my shot shows this. The reason we feel distant from the character in these shots is because we know this isn't the real her and she is lying to her friends and family that she is happy. This also helps us differentiate with the other life she lives because a lot of these are close ups showing that we are close to the character and we know this is how she really feels. I also put panning shots in this. The reason for this is again to help contrast between her sad life and happy life. The sad life shows all still shots this is to show her sad life is still and has nothing going on it as she is in decline. However in her happy life she has a lot going for her and is happy and movement shows excitement.
Post production
At first I began by creating these shots in the same effect as the others using the 50's film etc. However i decided to change it and only use the effect age film to represent that it again it was set a while back like a convention of a lot of lana del reys videos. I chose to take the black and white effect of so the audience could differentiate between her 2 lives when we watch the video. The black and white is meant to represent 1 of her lives being full of misery and depression where as the colour film i meant to resemble the other being bright and happy. I also put the effect 'camcorder' onto these shots to emphasise people are meant to see these videos and this side of her life.
