Faces. We see faces everyday, some we know and some we don't, but we never really pay attention. So much of the time we are all in such a hurry we do not see the world around us; well, I want to slow it down. I wish to do a documentary style video, to incorporate cinematic majors. For photo majors, stills of the documentary will be taken to promote the film, which the illustrators will then also incorporate to make things such as flyers, etc, basically making this into a 'real production'. This would fall under the category of 'photojournalism' - whatever that is for films.
The theme of this documentary I want to be focused on the lost person in society; really looking at faces and pulling them out of busy surroundings. For example, have one person facing the camera in the midst of a busy, moving crowd of people walking away from the camera. The film will be black and white, to give a rustic mood and simply the difference between foreground and noisy background. This will be in digital means, not actual film, for money and frustration purposes.
I imagine documentary-style is hard for animation majors to get excited about, but they can always be actors in the documentary (among many other things I'm sure they could help come up with) that way we have less public to give request forms too. Also note that as the group meets, this idea can be evolved to incorporate everyone!
The setting of this would simply be around downtown, anywhere with a lot of people, like the Short North on a Friday night, our campus, or even OSU's campus. People are everywhere, so there won't be a shortage of 'subjects'. We could even slightly make this more personal to each group member, and have them film something in their hometown of a person blending into society and going unnoticed.
The exact description of roles would be dependent on the quantity of people in each major joining the project, to divide everything up.
Timeline: (isn't it beautiful?)
Example from this..interesting..blog: http://guylynnstpierre.wordpress.com/photoshop-wrap-ups/
Rather than having the subject in color, the whole photo will be black and white. All "crowd" will be facing away, or if facing will have blank stares and not making eye contact with camera, and the subject would be the focal point, looking into camera.
The subject would be centered for one, but as other shots come together the subject can be in any plane of field - creativity!
