G7: Ending Ideas

• When we held a group discussion with some peers to get some feedback on our music video concept, one of the main ideas discussed was how we would end the video. We had two ideas which we told our discussion group: a happy ending where the couple got back together and a sad ending where the couple are shown going their seperate ways.
• In the discussion group, we recieved feedback saying that the happy ending would be more relevent to the track because of the lyrics.
• After this discussion, we thought about some ideas for our ending. We agreed on the idea of the couple arguing and breaking up throughout the video, but ending on a CU shot of them holding hands. We discussed how the video would end based on this shot.
• One idea we came up with was a montage of short shots from throughout the video and performance shown as the song comes to the end with the cutting rate increasing, and finally ending on a static close up shot of the couples hands. We also came up with a similar idea, but fading out as the couple's hands move towards each other.
• Another idea we had was to have a fast cutting rate between the couple's hands moving towards each other and the band's performance finishing.
• When we do our individual discussion groups, we will ask which of these ideas, if any, they can see working well with the rest of the video and with the song.
• In our discussion session, we were told that our idea of having a glass of water being thrown across the room was good. For this reason, we came up with some more similar ideas that we could include, all connoting that it is working towards the end. Some examples of this are a brown leaf falling to the ground, a door slamming shut and the second hand of a clock.
