Module 1: Introduction To Screen Media Practise #2- Initial Ideas.
My initial ideas for the 'MAKING MYTH FOR TODAY' are as follows:
For the video with only static shots, I want to adapt the myth 'Pandora's Box'. I want to set the video in an orwellian world, similar to that in the film 'Equilibrium'. I want to create a voiceover script from THIS version of the myth. I want to make my film look very dark and dystopian, with the box containing all artifacts of human emotion not 'disease' and the like. I also want to use stop motion to show the box has a mind of its own. THis idea is pretty complete, I obviously haven't started on production paperwork or planning, but I have a really strong Idea of how i want it to look and feel.
I am currently quite occupied with trying to find a myth for my second video, with maximum 2 characters that can only speak one line each. I want to make this video much simpiler, but maintain high levels of professionalism. I want it to be simpler, not only because my first video will be rather complex but to prove that I can make professional videos with simple ideas and techniques.
I will continue to upload information as I continue my research, planning and production.
Rob.
