Environmental setting

For our four films, we needed them to all have some sort of connection. The four ideas we settled on were as follows:

Dancing

We loved the idea of having somebody dancing around to music, so we could then animate over them. Aspects such as animated clothes, and patterns in the air. This would be a kind of representation of being creative and independent, as well as how important it s to be an expressive individual.

Reading

Having somebody reading a book, which would have animated patterns coming out of it and around it. This is something we thought would work well because having somebody doing such a quite everyday activity such as reading, can potentially be very inspiring, and can encourage people to be creative and independent.

The Crowd

This was probably the most cliche of the four ideas, however we knew this would work well! We wanted to film a small crowd walking and moving around in different ways with each other. We would then want to animate over the faces and bodies to give them all odd, colourful faces and clothes.

The Face

This was the idea that would be slightly different from the other three, however if done right we could make it fit! I personally love painting people's faces, and this also seemed to be something that popped up quite often when researching DAZED magazine. We decided to create a 15 second stop motion face paint animation on somebody's face. We would need to make sure that all of the patterns we used were a similar enough design to the others we planned on using.



DAZED Magazine itself is a focused around youth fashion and music culture, so this is eomthing we would need to keep a connection with all though out each film, in order for it to meet the expectations of the brief!
