After thinking a lot about my first project idea, it began clear that it was going to cause too much hassle in the filming stage. I would have to bring in numerous actors, find multiple locations, write a script & do all crew roles by myself; simply it would just be too much to take on. Having said this, I have since thought of a second idea for the Maps & Networking project:
The idea initially goes off the back of following what the anatomy of a human is and how different personality traits and quirks make us who we are as individuals. In other words, I want to show the difference in how peoples brains are wired and mapped out to one another which I feel correlates to the map side of Maps & Networking. The way I see my idea being displayed would be in a short film format. I'd like a plain white background with just my subjects in centre frame, only one in frame at one time. The subjects would be topless and would be painted in different ways to show the diversity in how their mindset is. For example, my first subject would have a lot of yellow painted on them as yellow is stereotypically used to portray the feeling of happiness, showing that the first subject has a very positive outlook. As well as the yellow paint, I felt like I could use other bright, feel-good colours to fill in the rest of their body as well as painting a large love-shaped heart on the subject to emphasise how happy they are as well as caring.
I would continue to do this on the other subjects, painting them in contrast to their outlook and mindset. After showing 2 or 3 subjects who have a fairly level headed outlook I would then show a subject which would be painted in darker colours, predominantly shades of blue because opposed to yellow, blue can symbolise the feeling of misery or sadness. During this whole film I will have a voice narrating over the top explaining to the viewer what is going on and what the paint means and what the subjects are like as people. I feel like someone with a voice similar to either Stephan Fry or David Attenborough would suit the feel of the film very well.
