Creative Brief & Storyboard

Potential Title:
10 rooms

Overview:
This project will lead us to 10 different rooms through 10 different doors/windows/objects, in order to track the life of one individual in what appears to be the time span of one single day.

Audience/Context:
No particular audience, but more people between the ages of 18 and 35 will probably be viewing this video.

Key Message:
In a single day of our lives, we visit countless places and are surrounded by so many other things going around us. We will encounter different people (each living a different life in the same setting) as well as different objects (each being differently used.) We may not notice much of this because of our routinely lifestyles. However, everywhere we go, we carry either a slightly or completely different personality with us. or

A focus on the subconscious and psychological spaces within our minds that arise from our daily lives and thoughts. Every individual has some unseen depth within their thoughts, minds, character, and personality.

Content Planning:
I would like to capture footage on a DVD Camcorder, edit, and connect them together so that it appears as if the same one individual is moving from room to room through door to door. I am aiming to make it look seamless this way, and also create a short coverage of each room by using crab shots, panning shots, and other manual shots. I also plan to find either a Steadicam or Glidecam to help minimize the amount of instability.

Visual/Conceptual References:
I was ridiculously inspired by the short wedding movies made by the motion graphics company StillMotion. Currently they are hands down my favourite company because they produce beautiful cinematography and use multiple shooting techniques very smoothly and effectively.

And because I was so curious to know how they managed to pull off such gorgeously smooth shots, I looked into their other works and discovered something called the Steadicam:

Unfortunately the Steadicam is waaaay beyond what I can afford, so I'm going to be looking into other options such as the Glidecam:
