Proposal
The theme that i am looking into doing is skateboarding. Skateboarding has been around for a long time now originating around the late 1940's and progressed over the years breaking into different styled movements. I would like to use vintage footage to create the three different videos as the different range of captured footage makes it interesting and gives the viewers an insight of what the sport use to be like.
The three different styled videos that I have thought about
doing are an action, humor, and romance. I also thought strongly about doing an
advertising one depending on how other styles work out.
Action
This would be built up with a large amount of quick shots
changing showing different views and what can skaters can do on their
boards. A slow motion clip could be
displayed at the end or near the end for a nice ending clip to slow it down
before finishing giving the viewers a “whoa” effect. As a transition between
clips 6 different clips could be displayed at once then zoom in on the main one
before quickly changing through the other ones.
Humor
A range of funny bails some sped up making them look
different with soft transitions between. Could be followed up with showing how
safety gear is needed or tips on how not to ride the skateboard. Incorporate
text such as “Tip one, Tip two…” with some explanation on what not to do.
Romance
Slow paced clips swapping between the skateboards its self
and the rider. Use the cutting between scenes and soft transitions to show the
relationship between the rider and his/her board. If colours are involved use
bright happier colours. Outro could get with a heart getting smaller or bigger
on the object or the rider showing their love for riding.
Advertisement
Slower paced clips and a wide range of what can
be done with a skateboard, and how much fun can be had. Cut scenes between the footage of showing
skateboarders, the cut scene footage explaining the skateboards
themselves. Cross over transitions
between clips making the video very smooth.
