-    Prepare to present our idea to our class on the 6/2/15.

Brief 5: "Art never sleeps"

Ideas:

George: Idea is related to the o2 priority sports advert, the idea to achieve something similar to this adverts style. It was fast paced, featuring a range of different sports. However within our video we would need a range of art and culturally relating elements.

Clea and Jamie: Using the Vimeo video 'night scroll' to show a scroll through the city, this can show that Brighton is the same during the day as at night. We also really liked the animation that runs through the video, this could help to illustrate the art and culture within the city.

Amy: Similar to Clea and Jamie's idea but maybe add a time lapse to illustrate a contrast between the daytime and the night time.

Mia: In the brief it says that the video should be like a "love letter to Brighton." Maybe use a poem to illustrate the love.

Final Idea: Taking the main idea of a scroll through Brighton city at night but having the art and culture coming through different elements within the short film. We are also going to be keeping the idea of a poem/ love letter to Brighton, maybe as a voice over. (Have to remember to include how important Brighton festival is, but we can bring this up in the poem.)

-    Poem by William Blake about London, idea for our own poem (needs further development.)

Potential Elements:

-    Art

-    Music
