Initial Ideas

As a group, we decided to take a somewhat literal approach to the idea of Brighton as "a city where art never sleeps" and film our promotional video at night, showing various creative and artistic aspects of Brighton.

Our initial inspiration was taken from a video called Night Stroll (which can be viewed at http://vimeo.com/69949278 )

The opening shot really stood out to us as something we may like to use within our promotional film, and other similar shots in this film could be recreated well around Brighton, in a more artistic manner, for example of graffiti around town.

Some examples of artistic and creative expression and symbols of Brighton we may include are:

• LGBT
• Street art
• (Circus) Performers
• Chinese new year
• Dance
• Children
• Family event
• Freerunning
• Skating
• Cycling
• Busking
• Pole

We also really liked the use of light and animation in this video. Light would be an important part of our short film to incorporate he exciting night time creativity of Brighton, and animation would be an interesting way to incorporate another use of art.

Another aspect that we would like to include in this short promotional video is of a vice over of a poem, either written by ourselves or by creative individuals or children involved in Brighton Festival, which would highlight emotive and positive descriptions of the city, relating to the "love letter to the city" idea suggested by Brighton Festival.

Our film would be about 4 minutes long, including credits.
