Idea #2 , as you described it with a personal narration and images, sounds like it would be a fun, personal piece, that would lend itself well to the time you ahve to do the project. I might include teachers or community members, too.

Idea #3 - if you can set this theme into a more personal or unlikely setting, I think this would be interesting to explore

Idea #4 - If this is a stop motion piece, i like the idea. Although if it is stop motion, it would be a huge project. Maybe this could be just one scene in an on-going story. You can experiment a bit with Stop Motion, and you can develop your sets and characters. I would encourage you to play a bit with stop motion before you embark on a large project.

hey marcus!
i am most intrigued by your first and fourth ideas.
i think its an interesting concept to have music but with the sound of people in the background. did you have any ideas on where you would get the music?
what would the setting be to explain the chatter in the background? do you have any music videos that you could show me that would illustrate how you are imagining this to be?
the fourth one would be AWESOME as a stop motion piece. i actually have a friend that did a cool stop motion music video for one of her own songs that i thought was an interesting technique. i will look it up and remind me to show you! it would be a lot of work but would also eliminate the worry of trying to organize people to meet for a shoot. you would still need to flesh out the script way way more and thats something that we can do together so that you don't waste time while you are shooting. because it is so time consuming and monotonous you would have to be super organized before hand. it would also be a fun project because it would give you the chance to build sets and things and basically an imaginary land!
lets talk more in class today because you guys are going to have to start shooting soon! eeeek!
