maps and journeys resear + ideas + final idea

i  original had 3 ideas

firstly - the first step
- a series of photos all around the idea of taking the first step
each image would have a different kinda transport but take place in increadibly fantiscal worlds that make this journey they they were going on seem larger then life.

pros
- be able to show technical skills in photoshop
-being able to create these whimsical worlds quite easily using my own collection of stock photos or i could go out and capture the photos i need to create these images

cons
-large work load and as each image would be large any mistakes would become easily noticable which is not a extreme con but i felt that doing 1 good text would be better then doing 5 good texts
- depending on what the images i need are it could be quite time consuming of getting those images however then the whole trying to get the images could be quite the comedic and insensitive projects in itself

secondly - at lands end

this idea was the idea of going from lands end up north and going on an adventure however time wont allow me to this was origianlly about traveling to hammle Deutschland and get pictures of the places where my mother grew up  but this time there is no money, no time and no passport

also its very difficult to find decent pictures of hammle that shows the places that i been

finally - tbd (to be decided)

finally  my last idea i was gonna do on a psychological idea called the idea of critical inner voice, and the idea is to be visually surreal while tackling the idea of how to achieve while your own head is telling you you wont.

to be perfectly clear this not depression

critical inner voice
-it is similar to bernes idea of the critical parent
 - it is a subpersonality that tells the person negative and even destructive ideas, promoting thoughts of low self esteme and worthlessness
research and theory

although further research on psychology (as i only have a as worth of communication and culture of psychological knowledge about this and further understand which i cant grasp yet ) is needed for this to be as detailed as it is possible to be the idea as a technical spectacle is just to large for my self to produce by myself and maybe should be done another time,

reasons why it would be to difficult would be that i would have to create a set and then 3d map a whole world around the set

too few of people to achieve this ambitions ghoul

so i had to simplify the idea and tackled the idea of okay what would an animator do and thinking how have people created some amazing sets that would be to big to make that doesn't involve alot of creating out of 3d because i have little to know idea how i would start a task

i started to look at what i wanted it to look like and the technical knowledge i need for what i wanted and what i wanted was a boat floating in a surreal environment and perhaps space, this was the effect i wanted and the idea of reality was still ever present i want the character to have a journey in his mind so to speak

Synopsis 

a man journeys though a strange world trying to find out where he is and why he is there,

how im going to make it

using puppetry i will use a green screen for the character to stand in front of so i can super impose the character onto a toy boat and use parallaxing to create the idea of depth

my learning agreement

i agree to wok hard and provide all of my time and energy into producing a incredible piece of art/ film that i am proud of
i aim to use new techniques and document all my tests and experiments and what they meant for the final outcome
i strive to be punctual with all deadline personal or to other class mates
i want to create all resources and stock photos from scratch for the purpose of this project including sound
and i agree that it will be so well produced no one will ever remember the horror of my first film and rosie will be showing it to new students for years to come ..... hopefully
