So the new project is called 'THE JOURNEY' it is based on me taking several sill photographs and producing them into a 3 minute film in which i have produced my own background music for.The title, 'The Journey' is quite a broad subject and so can be related to many things including the following:
- Personal
- Comical
- A mixture of many emotions.
Over the past few weeks i have been thinking about what i could use for my 'journey.' The process took me in many different directions. Some thoughts i had included are:
- A literal journey, such as a car/train journey.
- A mental journey, something that would show someone going from one mental state to another.
- The journey of something happening, such as a task being performed.
The idea i finally decided upon was a personal journey that I have had to do many times in my own life. This would be a journey from my house to the children's hospital. This will involve taking pictures of me going form my house (bedroom, downstairs and into the car) the journey whilst in the car, ( the views, different road signs, showing me getting closer to the hospital) and finally me arriving at the hospital, (the sign to the hospital, reception area, different hospital departments.)
When i took the photos of this journey i was quite dissapointed with the outcome. Even though some of the pictures were good quality most were not what i was looking for. Also i did not think i had enough pictures to sustain a 3 minute film. Another reason that i was dissapointed was that i did not really think that the journey had a storyline at the beginning and part the way through the middle. It wasn't until the end shots of the hospital that the story/journey seemed to make sense! So in the end i decided that i would re think my idea.
An idea that i had come up with before i decided on the hospital journey, was the journey to the seaside. This idea came to me as i have lived by the sea my whole life. So i will now be trying out the journey from Maidstone to hastings and then all of the things that you can get up to at the seaside for example, arcades, fish and chips and ice cream!
