Example of Time Passing Sequence

In order to show a range of shots of Molly and Alfie together, we liked the idea of using a time passing sequence as a way of showing the couple spending time together as there relationship grows and as they fall in love. From researching into a range of romantic time passing sequences, we liked the idea of using a clip from the film UP, despite this film being animated it gives an example of a range of camera angles and shots used to show the couple as a pair. In this particular film the female protagonist character Ellie is diagnosed at the hospital, then as time goes by, passes away. Similar to our production this film shows the pain the male progtagonist character Carl goes through when the one he loves is taken from him. From watching this scene, I have selected a range of shots that show the couple together and then apart.

Shot 1 -  Shot of the couple in the church as they get married and are about to spend the rest of there life together.
Shot 2 - This Close up shows   couple as they make there new home personal by writing both there names on the letter box, this shot gives an example of the couple doing something simple yet makes them happy.
Shot 3 - This shows the couple as they have a romantic date together in the park.
Shot 4 - Shot of the couple as they sit at home holiding hands which expresses there love for one another.
Shot 5 - Shot of the couple as they hang a picture up of the house which both of them would love to live.
Shot 6 - Shot of the couple as they are now old and have grown this way with one another.
Shot 7 - Ellie is laid in the hospital bad, as Carl kisses her forehead, this shows that Ellie is now ill and the couple will no longer be together forever
Shot 8 - Lone shot of Carl as he sits at Ellies funeral, he is now alone due to the one who he loves passing away.

This particular film is useful to show the couples relationship as it uses a range of simple to shots to empahsies the couple spending time together as they grow old and empahasises how alone Carl is once Ellie, the one who he was meant to be with forever, dies.
