I have been inspired by 'raging Bull' 1980 to use the same backing track as the montage in that film, "Silvano: Barcarolle" (1895) as it is beautiful but also gives off an aura of sadness that sets the tone of the film.
The montage will need to be sad but show how happy the couple where and then by using techniques which were inspired by 'Citizen Kane' i will use mise-en-scene and cinematography to show how the couple grows apart and eventually splits up. The only difficult aspect of this will be trying to capture a realistic relationship between the two characters and how they fall apart.
My initial idea was to shoot in the style of home footage to show the closeness of the two characters and in the latter half of the montage show them falling apart, obviously I couldn't try and use the home footage style to show them falling apart because in reality you wouldn't film yourselves arguing or being upset with one and other if you're in a relationship. since then i have developed my idea to film the relationship in a home footage style throughout the entire sequence, I won't by insinuating that any of the footage is actually recorded by the couple themselves but by using the Steadicam technique and adding a grainy effect in post production I will create the illusion of home footage and by doing that give the impression to the audience that this is their home relationship, it isn't usually for public display, this would be Ironic filming as it breaks away from the usual convention of filming and the filming styles used throughout the rest of the film.
