The Prodigy music video

This video has a similar principle to the one that we are creating as we are hiding the true identity of our protagonist for the most part of the film and letting the social expectations of the audience create a picture of what the protagonist will look like and then at the end revealing that the expectations do not meet the reality. In this video the whole thing is point of view which we have not opted for, instead we are getting lots of extreme close ups and shots that hide the face of our character. I want the audience to be straining in order to try and catch a glimpse of the protagonist but never letting them see until the end as it will make the film more engaging as they try to figure out why they cannot see the character and what we are hiding.

500 days of Summer - Expectations vs Reality scene

This is also an influence in a way because watching this clip in one of our first seminars made me want to do something that challenges peoples expectations and I like the idea of showing the difference between expectations and the actual reality. The expectations in this case will be the expectations of the viewer but the expectations, like in this film.. will be wrong.
