During my pre-production stage I had decided to definitely use my female character on a swing as my opening seconds. However now having started to edit my piece, I don't like this idea as I feel it looks unnatural within my video. Struggling for idea's I started to look at stop motion or time lapses. Stop motion is a technique that enables objects or people to appear to move on their own.
Here's a great example- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOMFod_Qnhg

My new thoughts for the opening of my video as to have a single rose with a simple backdrop of either the outside locations of my shots or a plain block coloured background, that decays. To do this I will need to take a photo of the rose in the same position for the number of days it takes to die. I feel the idea of decay fits to my concept as it symbolises the death of their relationship; a factor I want to enhance by using a rose for the flower.
Stop Motion is an incredibly hard thing to do right and for it to look good. I think the key is making sure I keep the flower in the same position and my distance from the flower the same. Lighting I think might look really interesting at different times of the day. For example in the video, a similar idea to mine with the flowers, the different lighting really enhances the decay.
In an earlier post I talked about having a powerful symbol, and I think I want to make the rose a symbol for the both the girls fragility and the decay of the relationship.
