MTV Campaign: story within the book

The Fifth Child.

We decided to use the concept of MTV Campaign: story within the song for the Fifth Child. So, it represents the story of The Fifth Child with pictures in chronological order. We are going to explain it picture by picture.

                The one in the center represents Harriet and David and they are in the center because they are central in the book and they are at the origin of the whole story.

 1 > Represents love at first sight between Harriet & David.

2  > Illustrates searching and buying of the house. The “home”.

3 > Shows the important place of the bed and represents the first time they make love.

6 >  The first family party with the important place of the table where all the family gather.

7 >  It is Helen’s birth. Once again a normal baby.

10 > Represents the happiness of Lovatt’s family.

11 > Two rings with one broken which symbolizes the important quarrels between Sarah & William.

12 > Birth of Paul. We chose the picture of baby crying to represent the fact he’s a sad child who demands so much attention. We put him bigger than the other because he stays at home a longer time than the other children and because with his problem with Ben, is has a more important place.

13 > Materializes the quarrel between the members of Lovatt’s family.
