Table Top

We got into our groups again and started to work with the props that we had and added in our own props for the table top opening. We started to plan what it could be about and we came up with the idea of a woman who is jealous of another woman's (Heather) husband because she is in love with him. We edited it to have a black and white filter, as it is representative of the fact that it is set in the 1900's. It opens with the camera moving down from a white lace material to a french newspaper featuring a picture of the husband. It then goes down and to reveal his name: Jean Boissemond. The camera moves up slowly and the pans onto a hand of a woman who picks up a flower that was clearly given to Heather by her husband Jean. She then opens a short love letter from Jean to his wife, Heather, which the woman reacts to with jealousy and shuts. At this point, the camera movements start to speed up and move to a picture frame of Heather which the woman slams. It then moves to an opened jewellery box where she finds an engagement ring which she puts on and moves her hand next to the picture of Jean as if she is imagining that she was his wife. We added in background music; a song called 'Heather'. The lyrics fit perfectly at the part where the camera zooms in on the love card, 'I wish I were Heather' showing the envy the woman feels for Heather.
