visuals: the story arch goes like this: three characters, standing in front of a white background. the shots cut inbetween each of the characters. film starts with medium shots of each character's face, then the music comes on, and the characters start awkwardly bobbing their heads. as the music continues and gets more intense, I start reading poetry over the music. I am not on film. BUT there will be cuts of mouths on the screen that will sync to certain parts of the poems. probably the word RED. (I'll probably still film a few scenes of the characters reading the poems, but i don't plan on using them right now.) as the charcters dance, and the poems and the music continue, objects start popping onto the characters. (as far as the technical part of this goes, I'll have the camera running and the character dancing, and people holding an object on fishing line, then i'll tell the character to freeze, and we'll lower the object on fishing line in front of them, then i'll tell them to keep dancing. I realize there might be a jolt with this plan, but it's the smoothest one i can think of.) the objects on the characters will pop onto them and off of them. and while the red costumes add up, the background will also be turning red, (i'm gonna cover it in red cellophane) As the background turns red, the characters will also be cellophaned. so the cellophaning will start from the bottom, and by the end both the characters and the background will be covered in red cellophane. during these scenes i will also be dumping red glitter on the characters and i'm really considering doing something with red paint. Anyway, the film ends with the characters in mass chaos ripping the cellophane off and throwing paint all over themselves and glitter falling on it all.
this sounds like its gonna be real long. but i'm keeping it under three minutes.
as far as sound goes i'll either pick and choose parts of poems OR i'll read all of them and work with layering them over the visuals and the beats.
