Filming

Went out and filmed looking just the cars interaction - figured I should clarify my idea a little bit more and do some more shooting as I could not get my video sequence the way I wanted.

First attempt went straight into bin.

Then had problems with recapturing my movie as it overwrote all of my clips and I had to recapture them.

Not cool.

Concept

The Paramata Roundabout.

This idea is about how there is three actions at a roundabout. Turn. Indicate. Giveway. These three actions lead to a successful movement through the roundabout to get to your destination.

I will approach this by creating different shots from different angles but in the end the outcome will be boring. I want my clips audio to be repetitive and only include an indicator. This allows the effects and the images to be the more interesting part.

I will include gaps in the audio to add to the repetitive effect - you think it's over and then it starts again.

I will include a four screen split to create the idea of a roundabout. This will occur in the moddle of the clip. Just to balance it out.

I will aim to make my clip 3minutes long. Or as close as possible.

Change of Idea

I have decided to change my idea to the Paramata Roundabout.

First of all, I thought I limited myself with choosing a playground as there is not much movement and it is quite plain and unoriginal.

Secondly, I like the hectic atmosphere of the roundabout as it always gets blocked up and traffic becomes a nightmare.

I will approach this by filming from different points of view, hopefully right above it so I can mask the film to show a different perspective.

If I can't get a good shot from above, I will make it more about the experience which is had in the roundabout rather than the onlookers point of view.
