The line there is a tree that marks the places you've been, has proved to be hard to script and produce due to its ambiguity. I thought that I had found a possible location for my original idea of writing on the tree but on examining this idea again I questioned whether a random scene with a tree fitted with the rest of my production. Consequently, I had a rethink on what tree could mean/ represent and whilst searching for a location in which to film my library/ globe scene I thought about Family Trees. These documents are sometimes found in such locations and consequently the idea of a tree marking the places you've been fits in quite well. Therefore my plan could be to have a narrative in which a family tree is drawn up over time throughout the piece of work, with the tree growing every time the line repeats with the tree revealed at the end of the song, as before.
Another development in my thinking has been to used the River more within my piece. I thought this would be possible using paper boats for the line 'to control the waves that empty out your life' To me this seems more befitting of the song than an oscilloscope whilst also allowing me to utilize the beautiful Terracotta bridge I found when scouting locations in the park. It also allows me to create a running image throughout my piece. By filming the boat being put in and travelling and then running into the rapids also at the park I can effectively, kill two birds with one stone showing the line 'I know the world can turn in different ways' showing the boats disintegration and destruction by the rapids.
