In the film Se7en Envy was shown through the Envy the killer had for Brad Pitt's character,
I brainstormed this idea because I thought it would be good if the lust for the person had turned them into almost a stalker.
Within the media I felt gay relationships are still a taboo, and because of this I chose to have a man being envious to the point of stalking and insanity. This would show diversity and something different which would make the video stand out.
I decided to look into the first time this taboo was broken within the media industry so I could find out more about how much of an issue the media made it out to be.
This is an article I found about the first time a gay couple appeared on a music video, the person in the band who was portraying one half of the gay couple is known as being gay by the press didn't see the "issue" with it. This was in 2008 and a break through of this kind is huge to those in the population who are gay and it brings more social acceptance to them.
Its shows Stephen Gately intimately with another man, but only in the same way in which the other members of the band are with woman so he's right in that there shouldn't be an issue because it is legal for two men to get married in this society so music video's should be able to show both straight and gay relationships without there being any issue.
I more recent example of this is Katy Perry's music video to Firework which shows two men kissing, this shows the progression of society because there were few articles writing this up as an issue.
Here's the video to demonstrate how it has gone from being acceptable within media just to show an intimate conversation to being able to show gay couple kissing.
In my Envy clip, I won't be able to use a a clip in which the two men interact as it will ruin the theme i'm going for throughout that lust is a memory or an illusion. Instead i'm going to have it quite eerie with the Envy man creating a picture of him and Lust by cutting out the face of a girl creating the photo then burning the girls face to show the Envy he feels is an extreme way.
Planning
I created a theme board for the Envy character;
Here's Lust;
From this and my idea, I created a storyboard to allow me to look at the way in which the scene would take place and this would help me on the day and keep me to the timetable which I'm going to create on the call sheet.
Preparation for video shoot day 6 of 6
These are the photo's I picked to have of the Envy person and the Lust who Envy will paste together.
The picture frame with just Envy in it.
This is the room I decided to use because it is small it was easy to make it seem dark and eerie.
The desk which will be the main focus of filming, the candles are missing from the piece which he burns the girls face from the picture.
Call sheet;
The call sheet made me stay on track and held vital information.
