1. Storyline of
Love You
Always

2. Scene 1
The film opens up with various shots of a
scrapbook. Within the scrapbook are various
pictures of a mother, a father and a daughter
but most of them show the father and the
daughter spending time together and being
happy. This introduces the family dynamic
within the film and the happy relationship
between Elle and her father so the audience
instantly know that they are close and that the
film is based solely on their relationship.

3. Scene 2
Scene 1 then transitions into Scene 2 that is set in
the graveyard and Elle is introduced as she is now
and she is crying at a tombstone. The tombstone
displays her father’s name so it indicates that their
relationship has been torn due to the father passing
away. Instantly, because the of happy memories
that the audience have been introduced to in the
beginning, this tragedy allows the audience to feel
empathy for Elle and connect with her as a
character.

4. Scene 3
Scene 3 is then set at an office where the Mother
and Elle are hearing the will from the father. He
leaves behind for Elle a locket, but she decides not
to open it until she gets home so she has a more
personal moment with it on her own. The locket is a
symbolism of the father’s love towards his daughter
and enforces the closeness of the two characters.
The father also leaves trinkets behind for his wife so
that also enforces the family dynamic due to the
mother and father being a positive parental unit
due to them still being married until he passes
away.

5. Scene 4
Due to the objects and trinkets being left behind
from the father it distinguishes how the family
are very close as a unit. Scene 4 than backs it up
by showing a flashback of the family together in
photo of them going on a day out together. This
re-introduces the happy memories of the family
but it also allows the audience to discover what
the family were like before the father’s death.

6. Scene 5
It then flash back to the present where Elle finds
the moment to open the locket and when she
opens it she discovers a piece of paper inside with
an e-mail address and password. Instantly, Elle and
the audience know that this is from the father due
to him giving it to her in the will. This picks up the
storyline in the film because it allows the audience
to connect with Elle and witness this through her
perspective as well due to both of them discovering
that the father has left behind an e-mail address for
Elle.

7. Scene 6
Scene 6 then progresses onto Elle going onto the
computer in her bedroom and logging into the e-
mail address and this is when she discovers the first
e-mail sent to her by her father. In the first e-mail it
reveals a childhood memory that Elle has forgotten,
the nickname given to her by her father. As Elle
reads the e-mail a voiceover from the father reads
out the e-mail so it represent the voice of the father
beyond the grave, but it also creates an emotional
moment within the film so the audience can
empathise with Elle as she reads the e-mail.

8. Scene 7
From the beginning of the film the audience has
discovered that the father has passed away but
there has been no explanation of why he has
passed away. One of the main features of a film
storyline is answering the questions that the
audience will have while watching it, and they are
wanting to know what has happened to the father.
This scene explains this well by using a flashback of
the father explaining to the mother that his cancer
has returned, but the way he says it means that he
has had it before and it was cured but on this
occasion there is nothing can be done to stop it.

9. Scene 8
Now that the audience have been informed of the
whole situation of the father’s death they can then
progress to follow along with Elle as she continues
to read the e-mails. This scene uses a montage of
Elle everyday as she returns to the e-mails and
continues to read them, and through the e-mails
she discovers more about her childhood that she
may have forgotten when she grew up. This allows
Elle to live back through the memories of her father
again one last time so it can help her rest her grief.

10. Scene 9
The montage then stops and follows into Scene 9
when it is Elle’s sixteenth birthday and when she
goes onto the e-mail inbox she reads an e-mail from
her father wishing her a Happy Birthday and how is
he proud of her. This then creates the most
emotional moment of the film because now Elle is
grown up she can look after herself and it creates
an imagery of the father letting her go to look after
herself, whereas she’s also letting him go so he can
rest in peace and she can smile in his memory
instead of grieving.

11. Scene 10
This scene adds onto the amount of emotion
that is displayed in scene 9, and Scene 10 does
this by introducing another montage of Elle and
her father’s childhood memories. Again, this
places the audience into the shoes of Elle
because she is looking back onto the past just
like the audience are so they can empathise and
connect with Elle’s character once again.

12. Scene 11
This scene then re-introduces the stability of the
family dynamic by showing Elle cuddling up to
her mother and allowing them to have a
cherished moment together. Due to this, it
showcases to the audience that even though
Elle has lost her father, at the end she will
always have her mother because her mother
loves her just as much as her father.

13. Scene 12
Scene 12 then returns to the graveyard where
Elle is mourning at her father’s grave so it allows
the plot to loop back to the beginning to
represent the daily routine Elle will have in
visiting her father and never allowing herself to
forget him. It also rests the audience’s mind
because due to their connection with Elle’s
character they can feel positive emotion at the
end of the film just like Elle.
