My film essay called (tentatively) “What is love?” is going to delve into the many facets of love, specifically romantic. I look into the way love feels through visual interpretations of the emotion, as well as touch on the typical signs that we attribute to love. Also with the help of close friends and family I have constructed a list of terms associated with love that will help define love past the generic Oxford English Dictionary definition. In order to portray this through a film essay I will have to film quintessential things in life that define love; including, leaves blowing in the wind, spinning like a heart does when it flutters for another, exclamations of love publicly, butterflies, and just the simple sound of a heart beating. On top of many of these moments I plan to overlay dialogue of people defining love or clarifying how they knew their significant other was in love with them. To expand on my points I’ll use clips from classic TV and movie couples that depict the love I wish to depict. These clips will be able to connect with the audience/reader because the love stories shown will be known to most of the audience as timeless stories of true love.

This sounds like an interesting but difficult idea to explore. It's so basic but also extemely integral to the human experience. I'm curious to see how you'll avoid stereotypes of love and come up with the truest definition. Good Luck!
