Idea 1, A mandalorian themed action figure stop motion. A simple story about a mandalorian going on a quest to retrieve a bounty. Having to deal with stormtroopers on his way.Pros- would be fun to make. Writing for it would be easier since it would just be me making it. Cons- Stop motion can be tricky and I’m unsure if i can get all the necessary equipment.
Idea 2. something pirate themed. possibly recorded in Sea Of Thieves. As of currently I am unsure.Pros- It would be easy to come up with a story based off pirates given pre-existing ones. Since i’d be working with people it would give more people to help write the script. Cons- People may not be available. Since the game is multiplayer there’s a chance other unrelated players could interfere with the recording.
Idea 3. A documentary style video of me learning to play a song from King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard in one month. Pros-It would be the easiest to film, with it not having to be on any specific location, I can just do it from home. it’ll give me a new skill whether or not if I end up succeeding. Cons- I could end up failing to get to the end. Depending on personal events I may not have access to a guitar, causing the recording to be cancelled.
Idea 4. a video essay, based on YouTube channels like Scott the Woz, talking about music in media like video games, TV and movies explaining how it can effect both in the media and outside of the media too. Pros, with the video format I’m being inspired by it’ll be easier to record and things are less likely to go wrong. I know quite a bit about the subject I’m choosing so I won’t run out of things to talk about. Cons I’ll be pushing my abilities with writing a long script, which I’m sure I’ll be able to do It’ll just be out of my comfort zone.
Above are the two mind maps I made to help generate ideas.
