Final Project Outline-Lauren Bailey
When I first heard that the Final Project would be surrounded by "transformation" I knew I wanted to take a more literal approach. I am a makeup artist, specifically a body painter, so I want to create a video of the transformation of makeup/bodypaint. It'll start in the one state of being (me without makeup) and transform into the character I choose to make (me with the makeup on). When I start to think of an idea for a makeup look, I like to choose a theme first and sketch it out. I would like for there to be a meaning and story behind the transformation, I've chosen the words hope, change, and new beginnings. I want it to be abstract, almost dream/fantasy-like. I look forward to playing around with colors and opacity in Premiere and also in real life. Sound will be an important element as I won't be talking at all. Even though there won't be a linear narrative, I still want the underlying meanings to show through.
Sounds like there is a lot of potential to incorporate compositing into this concept, possibly showing the evolution of make-up application through video layers in addition to natural or sped-up time passage. As you begin to organize the video timeline, consider the possibility or intercutting some of your states as well. When you try it, it might be confusing or uninteresting, but you never know! Cutting from the first state (un-made up) to the final state (fully made up) then back, could be an interesting why to organize your viewer's experience.
