- Brainstorm a topic & list your ideas
My Idea is to make a slow media piece with relaxing audio.
- Water moving with a “Mac Miller” or “Mac Demarco” instrumental in the background.
- Blades of grass moving in a field with a sunrise or sunset in the background.
I think we often forget to look at the little details when observing the big picture, and I hope that with this slow media piece, I can break down, highlight, and showcase smaller, beautiful aspects that are often unseen or overlooked. I hope that in a way I can use the music to tie into breaking down a big picture into smaller details. I really want to use the song “Moonlight on the River,” and my goal is to capture “Moonlight on the River” for my final product to relate to the song.
For both of these I would use multiple angles and shots to make a beautiful atmosphere.
- Using the examples above and/or your own sources, scout out 1-2 good models that you can follow. List these with URLs if available
I like this video, but I think i would use shots a lot slower with less movement.
I like this video as well. I like how it presents a location, and shows every big and small detail. I wouldnt be able to get the drone shots, but I think this video has a good structure I could follow.
- Draft a script for your audio piece, record a draft interview of a person whose story creates focus and calm, or record sounds that you can use to create a slow media piece. This is your draft material.
Shots open with a body of water and calm music playing. Shots change and I work my way from big establishing shots into smaller and smaller more detailed shots.
The audio starts with a guitar playing and a slow song.
I hope for the actual project I can get the river in the morning with the morning life and activity, such as flys or fish jumping.
- Add your draft material to your post.
- Give your piece a title, find an image to use as featured image, describe your project and your materials and post this draft. Use category Project 1, Title Project Prep 1-yourname
“Slow Mornings” – I think this is a fitting name for the piece
