For starters, I would like to try to not do anything similar to what I have done in first year, though I have enjoyed the projects and would be happy to do any of them again I feel the whole point of progressing to second year is development and variety.
Modern Day Silent Movie
This is the idea I have been putting most thought to and am most curious about making.
What I have been thinking about here would be a project that would test/improve my Final Cut skills as the way it is edited is essentially. I have not got as far as producing a clear cut story but what would be basically involved would be a silent movie, edited to be black and white and the "grainyness" associated with the original silent films. It would also include the caption screens and a piano soundtrack. However, the twist is that the story would be set in modern day and this would be made obvious by costume, setting and storyline (which would involve use of mobile phones/cars etc).
I would also like to make a music video (for a song, not live footage/documentary) as music is something I am very interested in and I would love to be able to provide something that an artist/band can use that is different from the performance footage that myself and others worked on last year.
There is also a script written by a friend of mine on Creative Writing course last year that I think would make a good film. So far I have got as far as storyboarding it. The story involves the appearing and disappearing of a genie who grants wishes. This would be a good test of editing, continuity and looking into special effects.
