Hope Fear Desire

In this unit we are to produce a three minute video that would be in reference to the title "Hope, fear, desire". The video has to include a meaning for each of the above.
I wrote down 3 columns each titled individually hope fear and desire. I listed down each column things that I could refer to under the titles. I came up with approximatly 8-12 different links between each of them. Ranging from religion to love to domination.
I cam up with a few ideas that I could use to produce my body of work around. The one that I found more reasonable and easy to understand would be around marriage. The outcomes for watching a marriage proposal would be;
Hope :- The person proposing hopes that the person will say yes
Fear :- The person who is proposing gets rejected from the proposal
Desire :- The longing build up to the proposal.
I thought this would be a valid idea to produce my work on, but I thought this would be a bit to basic just film two people sat at a table with the same shots being used, only difference one being that se will say no. Although this was not a bad idea I had planned in detail how each shot would come across, I even planned to make things more interesting by using multiple shots in one frame, using sound effects from TV series. A proper layout and specifically how the shots would be taken and how it would all come together.
     So on the other hand I have come up with a completely brand new idea. This will involve single shots of fellow classmates naming their hopes fears and desires. Each shot will be shot individually and i will use semiotics for the audience as they will know how to refer the hope fear and desire will be used in co-ordination to the colours. So for example, the red will Indicate the fear, yellow for Hope and blue for Desire. When shot there will just be a clear white light shining on the person in the studio. I will effect all the colours later on during the process of the edit. The idea on how it will be shot will be like this;
The person will say 1) their hope, 2) their fear & 3) their desire, Then at the end they will say "Hope, Fear and Desire" close the shot. Then the next person will come up and do exactly the same. This will be a constant running through. Hopefully I will get a mixture of responses, some emotional and some comical. For example a fear of "a fear of losing loved ones" then a comical response of "a fear of pigeons".

Experimental Video.

My experimental video I planned to make a visual documentary that would show the world in past 50 years from 1961 to 2011. I started of by pinpointing out the main things that i knew happened in the past 50 years then had to get a book from a tutor that had everything in it from the past 100 years. I wrote all these down and tried to find some archive footage of all these events so I could input them into my video. My video wouldn't include any actuall filming from a video camera from college, I was dependent upon all the archive footage.
Some of the footage was rather easy to get hold of, for example the assassination of Osama Bin Laden, 9/11 and July7th bombings. These were all within the past 10 years and sights such as youtube and various other sights held alot of the footage with them being new. Older footage wasn't so much easier to get hold of, i have had to trawl through the internet to find it then upload it to youtube so I could download it and insert it into my video. Some footage also was literally impossible to find, such as mandella getting released from prison, I could only find footage of him that a news channel had gathered.

This is my second description as i hope to make the video around dreams then one becoming reality. I plan to shoot them with a tint which people should instantly recognise and be able to. Once people see the semiotic they should be able to use their imagination as to how it will pan out. For example if the dream is of a clear bright colour then they should know its the good dream, if i used a red tint they should be able to recognise it's a bad thing.

This is another shot of the storyboard and annotations of how each shot will be. Continued from shots one to four.

This is yet again another layout of what each shot will be like and also how I am going to present them in the video for HFD. Each with more content and explination on how they will be shot. Also any ideas that i might mimic inside of my video.

Hope Fear Desire (HFD)

This is my rough sketch of the storyboard of my hope fear desire. The drawings in each box represent each section to the video, also with small annitations of how each shot is going to be made, each also with rough ideas on how they would appear in the final production.
