My first three ideas, which i do plan to film smaller and test footage style ones of to see how well they would hav turned out.
Having a small stick man run across a news aper, i would show me drawing it in sped up time frame and then rew drawing him, having him being made to climb and run through the news paper untill he would get to something relevant to the theme.
Slow motion knocking down of Jenga blocks in reverse, this would be somewhat hard to film. but i would start with knocked down pile of jenga blocks, and then in reverse they would get built back up by me kicking them down and knocking them over in slow motion, maybe have a matrix style speed up slow down effect, the last shot would be me putting the last part down.
The upside down faces/chins and goggly eyes, inspired by the black lips poem from the early first week, i would film someones face upside down with goggle eyes on the chin and then dub it over with a relevent speech.
Idea o is the one i picked and have basically finished and am adding the final touches too now but the idea has changed quite a bit from what i figured it would be at first. as now i have chosen speeches from the TV show ‘Doctor Who’ finding the relevant speeches about ‘time’ and ‘Memory’, which wasn’t hard, and then i would dub them over my self to match the one minute time length of the video.
After this i got more ideas about how the video could come to life, such as using a collection of different faces to fade in and out into for the video, and to make it sound more chaotic there would be multiple speeches playing over the top of each other, with the volume changing to match the fades in video, along with some suiting free license dramatic music in the back ground.
