(21) New Idea!!!

Hello everyone, I have some good news! :D

After talking with my cousin about my plans, we bounced off ideas and I think I know what to do for the mise-en-scene for the stop motion animations! She said that instead of trying to capture the stages on a planet, I could go more abstract and try capturing the 'headspace' I'm in when I am experiencing a stage of grief. Instead of having a scene where there's a lot going on, I can keep it isolated and using lighting to highlight the feeling of what is happening. In a way, the scene will be the insides of my mind. :0 

I like this idea since I feel it'll add onto the mystery that is grief. It can feel very isolating to go through the motions of it alone, and I feel that I'm showcasing my feelings in a more accurate manner by doing this. Plus, after my cousin brought it up I think that portraying planets might be confusing for audiences to grasp what is going on. 

After deciding what I'm going to do I went to the internet to find some photos that I can use as a reference. I want to use lighting and simple figures to emulate that I am trying to depict the way my mind is like when I'm going through those stages. 

An example of some lighting techniques I could use :0

Okay, I know this is Spongebob, but this episode where Squidward is in the Nowhere dimension is a great reference as to what I want the scenery to look like!

In the next blog posts, my plan is to sketch out my plans and go get supplies. I need to get this done ASAP since the project is due in only a few weeks. Although I hate being behind, maybe it was necessary to plan out my ideas. I'll keep you guys posted. :)
