Ideas

Last week we got brief about our trip to Edale, in the Peak District. In pairs we have to create a 3 minute silent film that portrays a portrait of a place or person. My pair for this is Ed, to start of with we couldn't think up any initial ideas so investigates Edale as neither of us had been there. we had a quick look at Google Maps and saw that there is very few houses, 2 Pubs and one small local shop. 

during our discussions we were trying to come up with something that would be interesting to watch and be portrayed to the audiences even without the use of sound. we somehow got onto the idea of a rubber duck as this was an usual object to come across in Edale. I then thought about what if we was to show a plastic bag that is floating around in the wind then can use that to move around and follow. We went away and decided that we had to develop this idea further. 

I thought about this idea and thought up a few shot ideas and sketched them out.

For some inspiration i carried out some research by searching online and found a few videos of people filming a bag as it was floating around in the wind. Here is an example :

I really liked the concept of this but think that if we are to use a bag we are going to have to experiment with interesting shots and angles to create a more interesting film to watch. Ed had messaged me on Facebook with a good ideas about developing the idea so it not focused on just a plastic bag.
