Putting ideas together for DP3, Visual Projection.

Today I went around Nottingham City centre to film. I came up with a few ideas and put them together using my mac.


I created a sequence to see what worked and what doesn't. Even though the camera work is slightly wobbly, I think it works:



More ideas for visual projection, Theme= MOVEMENT

I have been researching online to help give me some ideas for different sequences I can use in the visual projection film. I am going to film some moving escalators. Here is an idea which I can speed up and add effects.

Week 3: Finalised Ideas on Visual Projection

I have decided to go along with the first idea I had which was the most abstract experimental idea I created in which needed putting into a THEME. The theme thought out is all about movement entwining with some repetition, however using effects to create abstract visuals. For example footsteps walking, dominoes gong down one by one. Also I will film being in a tram and add effects.
Here is an example of movement on a tram:



I will also involve roller coaster effects, dancing and footsteps. I will try to link each sequence to each other, for example from a zip opening from a jacket to cut to moving down a track on a railway line. I will try to synchronise each sequence to run in continuity.
Here is a dancing effect which have given me a few ideas I can use in the track:

Second Term, DP3 Visual Ideas

For my next project I am to create a visual piece lasting between  minutes. I have a pitch to discuss tomorrow on three different ideas what I am going to do for my visuals.

IDEA 1:

The first idea I have come up with is to be completely abstract by having random images and sequences through the track. However there is a  theme in which when one item displays on screen there will be lots of them. For example one sequence will be lots of candles lit up with a birds eye view.


 Then the next would be a collection of shoes being shown in a line one by one at a fast pace.


I would also use text in my video and use a sparkler repeated through the video. Here is an example I could get as close to my idea.







Also in parts throughout the track there will be a close up of a face which would have an x-ray effect with dark lips singing a few lyrics.
Other ideas in the video would be lights being switched on in a large room, flocks of birds flying, and collections of makeup, jewelry and skeleton faces.
My aim is to try and make  the visual as quirky and experimental as possible.

SECOND IDEA:

My second idea involves cartoons, cuttings out a white board and black board. Throughout the track strange images, patterns etc would be drawn to synchronise with the track. I would then have cartoons performing strange dance moves and cuttings out of newpapers and magazines coming to life using motion or after effects.

3RD IDEA:

My third idea involves different plants and flowers growing  throughout the tracks. Also I would have insects changing for example caterpillar developing into a butterfly. Another could be the sunrising and sunsetting. The theme would be representing TIME and LIFE.
Here is an example of flowers going.
