Brainstorm

Today we met up again to brainstorm ideas before teasing them out for the purpose of developing shots for the storyboard.

We used the layout of the action over time graph as a guide to developing the shots we would use in each of the designated categories. These are the Introduction, Rising action/Information, Climax, Falling action and Resolution.

We generated a list of important shots that we would like to experiment with and if possible include in the video. The one we thought of was the use of the "Domino Effect", by using bottle or tiles we could represent the idea of one small action having a much greater follow on effect. Some other ideas utilize the Go Pro camera and it ability to be submerged in water fit or used in small spaces such as a rubbish bin, to capture a shot of a plastic bottle being thrown away. Together we would like to visit the Wellington South landfill in order to film some panning shots in order to show the mass amount/ large scale of the waste produced by Wellington alone, this could also be contrast by some idyllic scenic shots. Another major shot we have discussed is that of plastic bottle caps and waste floating in the ocean, which could be used to discuss the effect on seabirds and the environment if we so chose to include it.

On top of these shots we have also identified the need for a voice over to accompany. We will look for and authentic/experienced voice and person to for-fill this role.
