Just another Idea

The idea is one that will concentrate on the memories we reflect on, when we reminisce and think back to the "good old days". We will basically have a set of old photographs; of ourselves, in places that we had the most fun. We will remake the exact scene of where the photo was taken, and show you the contrast of time and what effect it has on us as it goes on.  Camera transition is crucial in our project. We will have a POV-like shot of a person holding the photo of the memory. They will then slowly move the photo down, revealing the real life reenactment. There will be some bad memories included, maybe someone died or something unfortunate happened, but as the video progresses you will be able to see that people can pull through and carry on, kind of motivational/inspirational material.
The video starts off with our main character; we have chosen a man. The main focal point will be on him and his memories. We start off in Farnham, and the audience can tell that he is homesick. Looking out the window, holding old photos, looks like he is reminiscing. He picks up his phone and texts his mum "I'm coming home". There will be a jump-cut/montage of him getting ready, grabbing his keys and shutting the door behind him.
[shot idea] put the camera in the front of the car so we can make a time-lapse of the journey from Farnham to London, at the end of the time lapse there will be a shot of a sign that says 'London' so the audience knows that he has come back home.
When he gets to London, he steps out of his car and the audience can immediately see that he is happier than he was before in Farnham, breathing in deep breaths, looking around, kind of smiling, looking and acknowledging everything that he encounters.
He goes home, his mum opens the door, he gives her a big hug and a kiss, and they go inside, the door shuts. The camera cuts to a shot of the man sitting at the table looking at some photos. His mum comes in and gives him a cup of tea, gently touches him on the top of the head and walks out of the shot. The camera then slowly moves closer and spins slightly so the audience can now see what he is looking at as the camera is above the mans shoulder.
The camera then gets even closer, so the whole photo is in shot. Then the transaction of memory to reality will take place. The photo will then leave the shot, and leave us in a different location, the same location as the one in the photo.
The photo literally comes to life and whatever memory that photo consists of, that will take place in the shot, natural movement, the man is smiling and laughing, then walks in his desired direction. The camera then pans with the man, but stops when he is out of frame and then the camera will follow somebody else, and will show the audience their memory, of course using the same procedure as the man with the photos. This process will continue throughout the whole film, showing how different people reflect on different situations, and how weird it is that they all connect in some way, whether it is within the photo or regarding their emotions.
