Idea 1:
A woman is working on the computer at home (wide shot and back angle camera shot) and receives a text, that reads "would you meet me after work today?" (close up of the phone and low angle of her, reading and smiling). She gets ready to meet him (close ups of her dressing and making up, using mirror reflections and back angle cameras) and goes to the bus stop.
In the next scene we can see her waiting outside of the building and he going out (very wide angle). They smile happily (subjective PoVs of both their faces) .
I like the story, it's simple and nice, but it doesn't give me the opportunity to use all the abilities learnt. For instance, using the low and high camera angles would be difficult as the story has no room for appreciate a status of the two characters, or a situation of risk. It allows to use different frame sizes, though, and some natural angles. I can also use the subjective and objective point of views studied in the first part of the course.
Idea 2:
A girl wakes up at home. She is alone, and sits in the edge of her bed, meditative (wide angle of the room, and medium shot of the bed, where you see half is perfectly done).
She looks at a photo in the room, where you can see a guy (close up of the photo).
Then she goes on with her typical day, cleaning, having lunch, working on a laptop... (wide shots, high angles can work OK, as she will be somewhat sad and helpless, and I need to show it with the framing).
In the next scene we can see her crying, seating on the coach, muffled music can be heard (low angle and a mid shot. The low angle will help to show her anguish .. or would it work better with a high angle? I'll try both of them).
The next scene shows here watching the TV, on pijamas. It's late at knight (wide angle). And she seems surprised when hears a knock on the door. Image of the door while someone timidly knocks again (very low angle... who is calling? is it the guy in the photo??).
This option not only gives me the opportunity to use the low and high angles, but also different frame sizes and I can do it by myself, which is an advantage, considering that I'm running late on the assignment already.
