Ⅰ. Project Title:
To dream
Ⅱ. Team Members:
Yijing Ling; Vicky Chen
Ⅲ. Concept | Storyline:
1). Who are you going to interview? Or What is the piece (article, poem, story) for the narrative voice over?
我是一个喜欢一直向前跑着的人
有一种感觉
我的宿命就是要我抓住些什么
路过的风没有和我告别
世界上那么多人
我们应该也不会再见面
或许这就是我们缘分的长短
各自以籍籍无名过路人的身份
奔波在各自的不归路
.
我们应该越来越近了吧
是只身一人 一年又一年
是藏在玩笑外壳下的伟大梦想
是蓄谋已久终将实现的未来
是一边哭泣一边热爱
是旁人对我百般解读
却不能构成万分之一 的我
我一边奔跑一边落空
想要停下脚步
却发现要攀过更多的山
他们都不喜欢我的锋利
但这倒刺只是我对抗世界的天赋
不要询问 去奔赴
2). What’s the story about?
It is about a person is sitting on a chair in a dull and monotonous environment. But the moment he opens the cover of the book, suddenly he has been transferred into another time and space where there are different rich scenes around him, such as the city, the countryside, the day, and the night.
3). Which part of the story are you going to focus on?
It’s about a girl, who just finished a relationship, decides to focus on pursuing her dreams no matter how difficult the road may be and how many hardships she will encounter. She realizes that chasing her dream is much more important than having a relationship.
4). What kind of style/aesthetics are you going to pursue?
The sadness after breaking up with her boyfriend, as well as the motivational part after she realizes that chasing her dream is much more essential.
Ⅳ. Execution Plan:
1). What equipment are you going to use when shooting the movie? (cellphone, DSLR camera, sound recorder, stabilizer..)
Cell phone, sound recorder, and stabilizer.
2). Which locations will it be shot at? When is it? Day time/night/unknown? Why?
The underground station—to metaphor the sentence like “不要询问,去奔赴.”
The crossroads—to metaphor the sentence like “各自以籍籍无名过路人的身份,奔波在各自的不归路.”
Park (kite)—to metaphor the sentence like “我是一个喜欢一直向前跑着的人.”
3). What are some challenges you might encounter and how will you prepare?
Sometimes, the scenes chosen are too realistic or do not represent the text well. Sometimes, the scene is too single or the angle does not show the best effect. Therefore, we will make a shooting plan and storyboard before shooting, and discuss whether the selected scene can properly display the metaphor of the text. Moreover, we will use Adobe Premiere software to edit the film, such as adjusting the color to show the proper emotion of the film.
4). How will you collaborate? How will you divide work? (Gantt Chart)
