For our film in particular, we decided that the toy would work as a symbolic code for the audience. It would symbolize that the child has left the toy behind and has been snatched. Signifying something bad has happened.

CONSTRUCTION TOY IN BARBED WIRE
Today we filmed the scene where we pan across a section of barbered wire, to reveal a rag toy hanging entangled in the wire. This scene might act as our ending for our title sequence, as it is hard hitting and symbolizing how children are the innocent victims of war. We chose a pan for this shot as it allows time to build up to the big reveal of the toy. We felt that this had a bigger impact on the audience and leaves them with a memorable image.

ReplyDeleteExplain much more clearly that your inspiration came from seeing a war photo with a battered rag toy caught on barbed wire. Explain that it is a symbolic code. Explain that in your film it will serve to suggest that the child has been snatched, leaving behind her toy.
