Final song choice (PLANNING)

Lily Allen’s song Smile is a heavy narrative song which is has a video which is illustration and disjuncture. Her video switches between her in a scene in her house and showing the revenge she has on her ex, there are various scenes such as; in a cafe, a club, streets and in the ex’s house. For our recreation of this video we are using a less illustrative approach as we found this difficult to plan and realised it would need a high budget and lots of time, which obviously we don’t have. our locations differ as we ill be filming in a park, studio and a house We are trying to keep the narrative as small as possible with loads of close ups, this should keep the lyrics of the song strong and leave people to think about it. Lilly added different parts of narrative which wasn’t said in her lyrics like beating her boyfriends up and smashing up his house this added extra meaning, we plan to do simple things  such as burning a picture of the boyfriend. Doing something simple with loads of shots will hopefully create extra meaning and leave some thoughts open for the audience. Lily ends her video of with her walking down a street; we plan to end it off with an extream close up of the burning picture with Bee smiling. I feel this is good ending as its a big ended which will mean alot.
