PLAN B

I have had complications in finding a dancer for my film. I have looked at the SHU dance society, University of Sheffield dance society and non of them are available. I got in touch with some local dance studios within Sheffield and the dancers are busy because of Christmas as they have performances going on. I have sent a request on star now for dancers but got no response.

From this I have talked to the rest of the group and we started thinking of a different idea to do. The idea will be almost similar to the dance idea but in a different concept. The other plan was also to do something similar to Oscar's idea and try and combine it with mine.

The idea I have in mind is to use a biker. He will be cycling and will use the go pro to capture the footage. This is similar to what chris kelly presented as a source of inspiration for his 1 minute piece. I have asked him if its possible to do it but it might be too late because we don't have a lot of time and Oscar does not like doing bikes. Never the less I went and did a trial to see if the idea was possible to do.

This is Chris Lowe and I filmed him riding his bike and mounted a go pro on his chest to get a different angle. The idea was that there were two bikers who look identical and it ends up becoming a race. One has a red hat and the other has a helmet.

After doing this, I have found out that idea is not working.  The concept has no direction and visually its not interesting.

I watched a couple of videos on YouTube about ink and I have found it interesting. Its like liquid dancing in liquid and the results create a tranquil effect.

Before fully committing to this idea I wanted to see how it works to the brief. We were given obstructions to follow and would this concept work. These are things I looked at:

• The film can be more than 5 minutes long
• Its got 1 object which is the ink
• The location is in front of any white background. The ink will be poured in a jar of water.
• Its non linear
• Chris is doing the sound design for it
• Breaking the fourth wall: it does this emotionally by combining colour, movement and sound together.

We have discussed the roles and Oscar is doing the filming, Chris is doing the sound design and I'm editing.
