Further Development of Final Idea- 19/10/11

Whilst listening to my iPod yesterday on the way to work I came across the song I want to use in my project. The song 'Make You Mine' by Talay Riley is basically about the chase between a boy and girl who are attracted to each other. The boy is trying to ask the girl out on a date and the girl is playing hard to get. This instantly gave me an idea of how I could make my project more relevant and tie the characters together along with the 3D elements.

So I have now decided that my project will be 1 minute long the higher end of the time allowance given in the brief, because I want to give the song chance to kick in properly. 2 characters will be present in the clip for the whole minute, rather than my initial idea to have a secondary character enter and then leave quite quickly. The clip will show the chase between the 2 characters, along with some dancing and close interaction.
When it comes to the 3D objects entering the clip, I have decided to replace the initial balls, wheels and paper aeroplanes with balloons, rolling flower heads and bouncing hearts as this will tie into the theme of romance. The male character will catch these objects and attempt to give them as gifts to the female characters.

In my previous post I didn't mention the use of text that was specified in the brief. Now I have the song for my piece I have decided to use lyrics from the audio and include them in the scene, with important, meaningful phrases being written in the sky or on the floor.

I am really looking forward to getting started on this project and have hired a video camera this week to film the background environment for the project. As I have not decided exactly which environment I want to use, I plan to film a few different locations, so I have a choice when it comes to uploading them onto the computer for editing.
