Ideas – unit 22 – local tour
Idea 1: City nightlife
What its about:
The video is compiled of two montages that will later be edited to intercept with one another.
One montage sequence will feature the inner-city at night whilst the other will feature the outer-city at night.
The two montages will feature shots of each area along with 3rd party audio and sound FX to give the environment it’s own characteristic’s. The footage will be shot in the Derby city centre and it’s local surroundings during a busy night {Friday night-Saturday night}. This is the best time to capture the activities of a city during night-time since there are so many social events happening and will allow me to capture the contrast between the both environments.
Inspiration for idea:
Walking home through the town centre on a Saturday night and seeing how the city changes as you walk through it, the centre being really load and crowded whist the suburbs are gentle and silent. This high contrast gave me an idea of what it would be like to see them side-by-side and how different the two ‘civilisations’ look.
What it should represent:
This video should represent how to close differences are in many parts of the world although it’s on a smaller scale the meaning still stands [ie: Richer parts of a country really close to poorer parts of the country]
This video will also personify each environment giving them human characteristics such as gentle, happy, exciting, lively, boring, peaceful, energetic ect:
Idea 2: Heatherton village
What it is about:
Heatherton village is considered a wealthy part of Derby and also beautiful as it sits so close to the south of Derby touching [Findern a village] this means that it has plenty of farms, river streams, gardens and pathways. This allows the area to have a very unique look compared to the rest of Derby and has made me think of how it would look if shot artistically as it is an area that has a completely different feel compared to the rest of Derby.
Inspiration for idea:
My inspiration for this idea, is received from the perception of Derby being a very generic city with a lot of Urban based aspects such as; shopping centres, cinemas, restaurants ect: although there are smalls parts which are more rural I would like to show them on film as this area interests’ me.
What it should represent:
I would like the video to represent a peaceful, tranquil place to simulate the Garden of Eden. I am aiming to create the area in a dreamy surreal look with a golden glow. Shooting towards the sun with simulates this effect [using glare and lens flares] but you have to be careful not to silhouette the background objects.
The dreamy effect will make the environment look very different to the generic ‘dull and boring repetitious city’ which people perceive Derby to be.
Idea 3- home tour facts
What it is about:
The video will feature my or someone else’s home shot in a futuristic way by using after effects/motion to create overlay graphic interfaces [look at image below for details]
using simple pans, tracks and tilts around a location whilst graphical interfaces display information, upbeat music will be playing into background to improve the pace of the information being feed into people as well as to keep them interested and engaged.
Music will also help increase the dramatic value of receiving a shocking fact.
Although I will be using the same techniques in this video I will not be copying it, I will try to give my own take by giving factual information, explaining where objects came from, what materials they are made from and their main characteristics .
I think this will allow people to see where different types of products come from by giving people factual information on what they can do .i:e [produces 3kw of electricity a day or aerosol nozzle projects at 200mph]. The main suggested element of the video is the shock factor effect giving people information on things they may not know about which may be in their homes.
Inspiration for idea:
Seeing multiple videos with this effect such as:
Concrete Circus - Keelan Phillips BMX - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnA_SwHRlHI
Room Tech Tour - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KAZ0teKTVI
I think the use of this effect gives a lot of information to the viewer in a simple yet visually interesting way, and would like to emulate that ease into factual video.
What it should represent:
The video should represent a very different approach to factual documentary by choosing a subject which will involve almost all the population.
The video could also be apart of a series where different locations are shown each time giving even more facts but in different environments I.e: Home, Garden/parks, car manufacturings, schools, hospitals or around a capital city.
