At the moment, I am still trying to think of the possibilities of what I can do for the videos for this class. I am still unsure of what kind of direction I would like to take in a film. As I mentioned in my previous blog, Christopher Nolan is my favorite director, however, doing something in the style he directs would not be a good direction for me to try. I feel that if I was to try to do something similar to what he does, not only would I confuse my audience, but also my crew and, as a matter of fact, I would confuse myself as well. If I was to follow Guillermo Del Toro's footsteps, I would feel the necessity for some heavy CGI, something I do not know how to produce and something that would take a lot of time and money as well. Maybe if I was to try to direct my own films, I would most likely try to hit the genre of comedy, not saying that I am good at it, but I am willing to give it a shot. I had some ideas for my future projects, however, I still struggle a little bit by finding something that I would find confortable to film.
Idea #1: This is an idea I had for the narrative story. It would involve the story of a regular student who is having difficult time finishing a project before time runs out. It would have a regular setting on campus and a voice over narrator who would read out loud all the action of the character. I was also thinking of breaking the fourth wall and have the protagonist interact with the narrator from time to time.
Idea #2: An early idea would be to ask permission to my previous bosses from my old job to do a documentary about the place. They own a movie theater and it has been there since 1994. I found it to be a successful business for them. I think it would be worth it to ask their permission to see if I can do something with them.
Currently I am having difficulties finding the right music for a music video. I still need to find some music that is okay for me to use in a video and me liking it as well. I would also like to do a theme related to that song. I usually listen to rock, pop, and electronic as well.
As time progresses, I feel like I will have more ideas of what I want to in the future, but for now, I will rely on this ideas I have. I also need to ask permission to my boss if it is ok to do a small documentary about his theater, I just hope he says yes.
The narrative is simple and would be easy to execute. I love the idea of breaking the 4th wall. A doc on a movie theater sounds fun. It would be cool to get behind the scenes. The music video concept does not exist unfortunately. Start collecting things that grab your attention even if you don't know why. This is a great springboard for sparking creativity. All of your concepts need titles, taglines and supporting images.
