We have chosen a poem by E. E. Cummings to be read by Ellie during the opening sequence of our music video. We obtained the poem through the internet on a social networking site called 'Tumblr'. The target audience for tumblr are mainly to 15-25 years old which is similiar to our target audience which means our work is linking together and suitable for our audience. The poem will have overlays of other sounds such as: Light winds, birds tweeting and footsteps walking on autumn leaves. This is something we have been focusing on as we want to show how long the relationship has lasted as we have scenes implicating summer (underwater shots), spring shots (Ellie in the field) and now we have shots of Ellie and Max in the woods with leaves all around.
We chose this poem as we thought it would allow the audience to understand a bit more about the video. As the poem is all about love, it will give hints of how much they are in love with eachother.This is a technique used by many mainstream artisits such as Rihanna (We found love) and Beyonce (If I were a boy).
