Additional Screenshots from Party Scene

We have used the Hall as our location because it contains the lighting that we need to portray the "disco" atmosphere and also it is the shortest and easiest way we could get my group, the main characters and other people. Our first idea was to have an indoor house party but the characters can't get to the location that we want so we decided to do this instead. It was easy for us to get people ebcause they have free times and also we chosed the people that knows how to dance as we don't want our disco scene to get ruined. At the start of the disco scene we have used upbeat and mainly recent music because we want to match the characters happy and lively mood. Also the characters will be able to dance with the songs. The  upbeat and recent songs that we have used are:

•  Whistle - Flo Rida
• Low - Flo Rida
• Pass Out - Tinie Tempa
• Gangnam Style

At the end of the disco scene where it goes from past to present, we ahve used slow tempo music such as I'm yours by Jason Mraz. We have used this song so it reflects on her melancholic mood and it also implies that she still thinks that her ex wants her back and she hasn't moved on from him yet.

These are the still shots from the party scene:

This is a screenshot from the first part of party scene and it contains past and present memories. Our first idea was to have the female dancing with her ex but we decided to dance with her friend instead because it portrays that her boyfriend doesn't want her anymore and this is the reason why he dances with another girl. However, the female character doesn't realise that her boyfriend is about to break up with her so she is still having fun at the start of this scene. Also we have used the long/mid shot because we want to show the female having fun but also the male dancing with another woman. We have cropped this video clip into a small one because there was a big gap of light which ruins the whole "disco"  atmosphere and also the hall doesn't look empty. The first disco scene is going to be an normal clip because we want to match the up beat tempo of the song but the disco scene at the end will be in slow motion because the tempo of the song is quite slow and it also matches the melancholic mood of the song. We are going to add a timecode at the bottom right of the screen so it ilpies that this is part of the past memories.

This is the part where she is stood on her own in the corner and remembers her past memories. We have decided to place her at the corner as we want portray her being isolated from everyone in the hall. There is a close up shot of the female's face ovarlapping with the mid shot of her face. We have used this effect to match with her melancholic feelings and the meaning of the song. This also implies that her bad memories are starting to fade away and she will be able to move on. We have used close up shots and mid shots on this part because we want the audience to focus more on her facial expressions so they will be able to reflect with her feelings and it makes them to feel sympathise on her situation.

After showing the past memories of her having a good time, we decided to portray her being lonely as we want to show that this is the part of her present. We have placed the female character at the centre of the frame as we want her to stand from the crowd and the audience. The lighting also helps this as she is stood where the spotlight is shined on. We have kept this part in low key lighting as we want to reflect it on her melancholic mood. We have used a slow tempo music such as I'm Yours by Jason Mraz because we want the song to match with her lonely feelings. It will also make the audience to identify themselves within that situation because stereotypically, girls expresses their emotion because of the song that they listen to.  

This is flashes back again from her past memories where her ex is about to break up with her. We have used the lighting on them and placed them at the centre of the lighting because we want the audience to focus on them. It also implies that the female is thinking that her boyfriend might be proposing on her. We have made our characters to wear something white on them as we want to portray their innnocence and purity. We did not use any of the music in the background to put an enigma to the audience as they might think the same way as the female.

We wanted to show the guy walking off first as we want the female character to stay where she is stood at so the audience will feel sympathis on her even more. This also shows what a stereotypical man would do to their relationship and it is mainly them who breaks up with their girlfriends. The female that still stood on the spotlights implies that she can't believe her boyfriend did this to her and also maybe he decided to come back to her again.

We have made the female character to walk in the opposite direction to where her ex walks off to as we want to portray her trying accept the fact that her ex doesn't want her anymore. Her face looking down towards the floor implies that she is broken hearted which makesthe audience to identify on her situation and feel sorry for her.
