Ideation and Concept Developement: Project Idea 3

What is the central theme/topic of the video?

The central theme/topic of this video will be teleportation, similar to ones in sci-fi movies such as Star Trek.

What is the action that will unfold in the video?

The first thing that the audience will see is a empty room/area. Then a person will appear from nowhere, accompanied by some kind of glowing lights.

What specific kinds of media do you imagine?

I think this project needs a mixture of photos and film for the action. Then I think that, to polish the video, I need some kind of After Effects created light effect and a sound effect to accompany the lights and teleportation.

What would be needed in order to execute the video?

To make this video I will need some green-screened footage of a person, some images for the background and some kind of light effect, probably created inside of After Effects.

What do you imagine the context/action for this video to be?

This clip would be part of a sci-fi movie similar to Star Trek.

Who is the expected target audience?

I think that the target audience of this video would be teens/adults interested in sci-fi movies, the kind of people who enjoy Star Trek, Star Wars and superhero movies.

These are a couple of types of environments that I am considering for the location of my teleporation scene:

Ideation and Concept Development: Project Idea 2

What is the central theme/topic of the video?

This idea centres around a cloud of butterflies emerging from a box. I haven't really come up with a more complicated concept than that.

What is the action that will unfold in the video?

The audience will see a box sitting on a doorstep. The box will shake a couple of times before settling. Then, after a couple of seconds the top will burst open and a cloud of butterflies will emerge and fill the sky.

What specific kinds of media do you imagine?

I image this video being mostly animated, probably using Adobe Animate. The individual elements would be digitally created.

What would be needed in order to execute the video?

I would use Adobe Animate to create the individual elements of this video, and then use After Effects to put it together and add some colour grading and special effects to polish it.

What do you imagine the context/action for this video to be?

I imagine that this video would be part of an short animated film, lasting no more than a minute or two. It would just be a snippet of interesting action that does not need to fit into a larger plot.

Who is the expected target audience?

I think that the target audience of this video would be people browsing videos on video sharing sites such as YouTube or Vimeo.

These are a couple of videos that gave me some inspiration as to what I could do myself:

Ideation and Concept Development: Project Idea 1

What is the central theme/topic of the video?

This video is based around storytelling. It is inspired by the storybook openings of the old Disney princess movies, which were introduced by a narrator while on screen a book magically opens.

What is the action that will unfold in the video?

The audience will see a large closed storybook sitting on a table in the middle of a room that looks as though it belongs in a castle. This shot would be fairly wide. Then the camera will move closer and tilt so that it is looking down on the book. At this point the book will slowly open to the first page.

What specific kinds of media do you imagine?

I imagine this video using a combination of photos to create a room in a castle. I think that it would help reinforce the association with storytelling if I also used a recording of a narrator introducing the story, which would be like a voice-over. While I am not sure about the difficulty of achieving this, I would also like to experiment with adding illustrations to the pages of the book.

What would be needed in order to execute the video?

This video would require footage of a book opening, some photos to be combined into a backplate for the scene, a recording of a narrator's voice to introduce the story and, possibly, some text on the first page of the book.

What do you imagine the context/action for this video to be?

This video would be the introduction of a movie based off a fairy tale.

Who is the expected target audience?

My target audience would like children, parents and anyone who enjoys watching the old Disney princess movies.
