The flower (which symbolises the couple's love) dead/sinking/floating down the river
The shot above is one that we thought we would originally use, however we have decide against. It is the actual flower used in Fin and Lottie's scenes, and in Jess in Teo's scene and because we filmed this part a month or so later (so that the weather would not be a sunny), the flower has wilted, dried-up and shrivelled. This is good because we wanted to shot the dead flower being carried away by the current of the river - symbolising that over time (this would be shown after the fading shots that show the couple have aged) the couple grew apart. The shot below is the on we decided to use.
This shot shows the flower when it was more alive, so keeps the continuity of the flower being bright and holds the idea that the couple's love is still alive. However, it also shows the flower sink, representing that the couple are separated and have grown apart but that their is hope that their love may resurface.
I used a hair clip to, with a metal clip part on the back of the flower ornament, to make the flower sink. Yasmin and I think that this shot will be good in slow motion, and will be effective if it starts in colour and ends in a completely greyscale treatment, to visually express the metaphor of a lost love through the drowning/sinking of the flower.
