Stop motion and acting

This is a song that I really like lyrically. I also love the video that goes with it. I think using both characters as well as cuts to stop animation is a really creative and interesting idea. The animation gives the video character whilst the singer and male actors relationship being played out demonstrates what the lyrics are about.

Documentary-youths

Short Documentary: This is an idea about a short documentary about the youth of today. I think a documentary is a good idea as it would be easy to select a cast. They are quite easy to make look professional. I liked this one because it is based on a topic that is in the news today.

Stop Motion-Sleepy Head

Another stop animation video. I think that this is a more realistic version of what I would be able to achieve compared to the first stop motion bed video I posted. This is due to the fact I would not really be able to get a good birds eye view shot above the bed like the first one. I also like how the video shows more of a story compared to just random things. The setting is also better as it seems to be filmed in a regular home rather than a studio with a bed in it like the first video.

Short Film- The desk

I like this idea as it has a very basic yet touching storyline. It is set in a school which is an ideal location to film in as it is easily accessible. I like how it only really features around 3-4 characters as this keeps the film easy to keep track of. The use of the desk is good and the effects of the writing appearing on it is also very good. It makes the film attractive. It also has a clear beginning, middle and end with a happy ending which is a nice finish to the short film.

Stop Motion Bed

My first initial thought of what to do for a video is to do a stop motion music video. I am thinking of a variety of ways in which I could use stop motion to create a long enough video that is interesting and is either based upon the lyrics of my chosen song, or has a story line to it. This video mainly consists of a creative idea. The use of camera is very basic. Consisting of a constant shot of a birds eye view and just multiple picture taking from the same position whilst only moving people and props. I like it because it looks highly professional and different. Its creative and seems fun which captivates people and gets them wondering how they made the video.
