MDDN 211- Finalizing the theme with Project 1

Finalizing the theme with Project 1- After discussing with my tutors my idea to go with animals, they discussed with me that it needs to be a bit more restricted and cut down a bit. After looking through all the animals I had listed on my brainstorm previously, I saw that there were a lot of water and sea based animals. This helped me decide the idea of heading with the theme "Under-water". I feel pleased with the idea of going with this particular theme as it is more cut down and has heaps of great options (not just limited to animals but ships, divers, boats etc).

I have also finalized my feelings I would like to show in my videos. One will be a scary or intense feeling, one will be a relaxed and smooth theme and the last will be a more energetic and fast paced theme.

Amongst the underwater objects that will show these particular themes, I have chosen the likes of a fish for the scary and horrific theme. I decided this because it will be a great contrast against a shark or stingray, which are generally the creatures that hold terror in the sea. My chosen animal for the second theme (A relaxed mood) there will be a jellyfish. I feel this is a great choice because a jellyfish is a smooth moving creature that displays a floating and airy movement that will match a soft sound well. My final choice, based on the underwater theme, is the idea of using a underwater ship/Submarine. I decided a turtle would be the fitting choice for the

From here I will be searching at creative commons audio and movies for my project and also some tutorials on using Adobe Premier on Lynda.com, google etc.

Below is a brainstorm of my process on finding what will be used in the theme "Under-Water".
