MINDMAP AND BRAINSTORMING
Below is my mindmap and some ideas I brainstormed.
Team meeting
On 26/04/2016 (Tuesday after class)
Adrian liked my idea but he mentioned an image on the internet that could contradict my idea. (the image below)
So we came up with a new idea.
Idea: Man goes blind and learns to live with it. Learns to embarrass other senses.
Ideas we had to show this:
- Show his eye fading to show he is going blind
- Angel and devil on his shoulders to confuse him when his is panicking because he has gone blind.
We could include narration to show the audience what he is thinking. Such as:
- I have everything in my life but my sight
- What good is it to have everything in the world of you can’t see it.
Techniques we were thinking of including:
- 2D animation with live action
- Blending mode/exposure
- Animating real things
Everyday we see the world with our eyes. Our idea is to show the audience that our eyesight is a privilege that’s why it is a sacred thing. We still need to finalise the idea and define the ritual aspect of our idea.
