Finally, we are one more step closer to digital media. I must say the requirements varies over the different assignments. I took a different approach towards this assignment. I wanted to string together a series of photos with both the boy and girl's items as a pair. These items symbolise their life journey together through the different activities. Halfway through the video, all the items will be jumbled up to depict the turmoils they experience. But no matter how difficult the obstacle may be/ messed up the situation may be, their love for each other will make things right again(items forming a shape of a heart). This video might seem too simple or emotionless to some, since it is lacking of the human element. I had ideas to work on the abstract aspect of emotion by inject life into the items, letting them do the 'talking'/'acting'. The technical method I wanted to adopt to convey my message was stop motion. For example, the scene with the pair of dancing shoes, the shoes will be dancing across the screen by themselves as if they were alive.
Julian commented that I needed to work more on the story. I guess this concept seems alittle to abstract if not done properly. As of now I am keeping my options open again. Do drop by again to see if I decided to work on this story or draft another one out!

I like the idea of the items representing the human's lives. However it's indeed a little too abstract if you did not convey a message at first or in the end. Most people don't see abstract art the way the artist protrayed it. Perhaps you may still need the human factor as an intro to kick start the abstract'ness of the story. Maybe a picture of a loving couple before the pairs of items and then a photo of the couple moddy before the mixed up items?
