Experimental film ideas

From the moment we were given this assignment a music video came to mind.

Another Chance by Roger Sanchez (2001) starts out with a woman in the city holding onto a giant heart object, watching other people be happy and smiling in return. The narrative continues with the woman getting refused to be let into a small cafe as the waiter suggests that the heart is too big. She continues to walk through the busy city getting ridiculed and refused entry into several other places, causing her 'heart' to shrink. The woman keeps going through the city to constantly get knocked down, making her heart shrink until she meets a man in an alley which makes it grow again. Ending with the woman being back on the street of the city holding the full size 'heart'.

I really like this video and i think it could be used, in part, in our film idea. I think the representation of the woman's emotions and society is shown really well in the growing and shrinking of the heart, as it represents the way people are so easily hurt by what other people think. I think that this could be used in terms of having an object that is symbolic of a meaning, eg. hope/ sadness/ happiness etc, and film it (maybe with an actor) around the city and the country side.

On of the main issues of today is the suggestion of the importance of money, one of the things that we could maybe do would be to use a simple £5 or £10 note (or print out) and have it drifting through the city, maybe include a person at the end picking it up or have someone chasing it.
