Other Film Project Ideas?

            What's up avid readers! Today I want to open up some ideas about what other ideas I would have taken on for our film project. There are endless amounts of ideas for a film, some even approach the possibility of zombies on a train or an ex assassin coming out of retirement to avenge his dog. Creativity in a plot is what attracts the viewer, while writing and production keeps the audience seated. 

           Samurais

      Football is cool, but the idea of samurais could set up an intense, action packed opening sequence involving two masters of blades fighting it out to kill one another. I would definitely pursue this idea, if it was not for the limitations in our equipment. Here is what I would imagine the scene to play out, two samurais with robes on, no helmets, approaching each other with the white lighting shining up above them. The rest of the background is nearly pitch black with only the two windows in the room shining moonlight from the outside. See where this dream is already impossible? I feel any other scenery other than this moment would not work for the type of tone I want to achieve, so this idea is in the gutter.

 

      

   Bowling

      This is a popular choice among Davin and myself, where we could include a montage of us scoring or missing pins. I could imagine how easy it would be to film with the ambience of other bowlers, as well as adding rock music layered in to create a sensational opening sequence. However, that dream falls flat once I realize how difficult it would be to even achieve that. For instance, being able to find ways to film the bowling ball would be impossible considering we cannot walk onto the bowling track to get close ups of the pins or ball itself, nor get multiple angles for a montage. The only way would be to rent out the bowling alley. Additionally, we would have to each pay to play in the game, adding to the fact that we have limited tries to get perfect strikes or play it out how we want to. This idea is just not suitable for our project.

        Workout

      My last idea for a video project would include us working out, similar to a Rocky movie where we have a montage of us striving to better our bodies. Where this already dies out is Davin simply wouldn't favor doing this idea, although I would be down to do it, and show off how many pull ups I can do in a row (35). Even so, it definitely would have been easier to film and create. However, Davin and I agreed producing a sports movie, so American football was our best bet. 

     These ideas still have a place in my heart, because they would just be so cool to film. I certainly think you would find excitement in them, as well. Thanks for tuning in to this post, I'll catch you guys around.
