Video Installation Ideas and Pre Production.

I have been assigned to create a video Installation by Andy to display around a final location around college. I have also created a few Questionnaires once my audience have watched my installation for feedback and some post it notes on the side in case my audience also want to add any extra information. I will write out my ideas, my equipment list and any other information I will need before carrying out my filming for the installation. I will then write a conclusion once I have projected my installation. 

IDEAS:

- Film myself going down a Hill in a park

- Close up shots of my eyes

- A shot of me looking directly into the camera

- Use Smoke Flares in a cameo 

- A close up of my blowing a bubble with Bubblegum

- Have some ballerinas dancing with a slow motion effect

- Some footage from a museum 

- Use some projections on a model's face

- Split the screen into two showing two different things at once

- Show a City Scape in slow motion

- Time Lapse the sun setting at a nice location

- Reverse some footage for a dynamic feel 

- A close up of fire or start a fire in a lake

- A close up of a bird flying away in slow motion

- Make an explosion with mints and fizzy drink

- Use fire gel to set a few objects on fire

THEME:

Ideally, I would like my final video installation to last from 1-2 minutes long and I want my video to be a montage of different shots, effects, angles and objects. In this video, I want to show off all of the skills I have learnt such as playing with visuals to keep an audience engaged. I would like the music to be soothing yet relate to what is being shown. I want my video installation to look unique as there will be other video installations being showcased around the college on the same day as mine. I want the end installation to be in 3D as it stands out from the rest of the other installations being showcased around the college and also because my installation will look quite unique, I wanted it to be unique in every aspect. I have taken a few pictures of where I would like to project my video installation and double checked the risks and health and safety of my chosen area in the college. We have done a risk assessment and are ready to install our video.

All wires will be covered and it will be safe to walk around. 

Here is an image of where I would like to project and showcase my Showreel.

I have chosen the 3rd floor as this is the most popular floor in the college. It is where the canteen is located and the majority of Media related classes are taken. This will not only attract the right audience for my installation but, will in fact mean I will have different takes and opinions from different views of students whom also study a subject that is not media related and see the effect my installation has on them.
