Concept:
I decided to take a walk through the city to write and ended up creating this script.
It is a story of a man that hates the world he lives in. The concrete, cars, pollution, etc.
Of course this character being based off myself and my opinions of our world today.
Walking through Memphis, while writing helped me work this concept through dramatically, but
only in regards to how I feel about the city. I will venture to the Smokey mountains over fall
break to film myself leaving the city, and returning to the shelter I built two years ago. I will film
my surroundings, encounters and interactions with nature, as well as keeping a daily journal of
these events. To actually be there and feel what it's like to live under the stars
for a week, with nothing but my film equipment will help me create an honest narration to finish
the 2nd half of the film.

Your idea has a lot of room for scene concepts and the use of your surroundings. I think the best way to tie this idea together would be the use of the letter. Instead of the voice speaking through out the whole video, the character could be shown writing the farewell letter before leaving. This could tie in his thoughts with his actual actions.
ReplyDeleteI love the poetic quality and feel to this.I like the concept of running to nature but i dont want you to slip to far into treehugger land, not that you have because i dont feel that way. its just a concern and possibility if details arent kept in line
