For this piece, I’d like to develop a scene that is centred around movement. I’m interested in finding different ways to capture movement and action, specifically why are character is performing that action in that specific place. I want to create a scene filled with opposition, where particular elements don’t necessarily match, but in this movie world do.

Aside from the action, I would like to incorporate interesting uses of colour, potentially through wardrobe and props, to make certain actions or moments more interesting to look at. I would like the action to navigating shot rather than dialogue and think it would be interesting to rely more on facial expressions and body language to create a narrative.

LOCATION

• Doctors office/waiting room (story element)
• Dressing room (visual)
• Shopping centre (lots of potential locations)
• Parking lot (wide shots)

ACTIONS

• Weaving between people as they walk down
• Eating food, licking crumbs off fingers
• Process of pulling out head phones, plugging in etc.

AUDIO

• Day time TV in background
• Applying makeup (brush on skin etc.)
• Zipper sounds
• Page turning

CHARACTERS

• People pleasing
• More about actions and facial expressions than dialogue
• Reoccurring actions (e.g. cracking knuckles)

VISUALS/MOTIFS

• Colour (interweaved through the scene)
• Balanced shots, symmetrical, or completely off
• Mirrors or framing within a frame

Overall, I’m not really set on a narrative idea or concept in general. I think with some more time a small narrative could come out of this, but personally I’m more interested in finding interesting actions and sounds and how to best shoot them.
