MDDN 211 - Video Theme

For Assignment One, we need to select a theme for the video iterations we are creating. The examples that were shown in the lecture today were the theme of Coffee, a theme of Meat and a theme of Babies. Each theme has three videos with a different atmosphere "emotions".

The theme that i have chosen is 'Lava'.

Lava is interesting to turn into atmospheric emotions. I have chosen to make the iterations into:
                                              - Aggression
                                              - Soothing Calm
                                              - Stalking / Following

Because Volcanoes and lava is naturally aggressive, especially when they are erupting, I intend to use different footage other than eruptions to create an aggressive atmosphere, specifically by speeding up flowing lava and using fast motion footage. This will make the aggressive lava appear to have a purpose, giving it aggression by giving it motive.
To create a Soothing Calm, the opposite effect would need to be created to get that atmosphere. Slowing down the footage to make the lava appear calm and nearly ambling with no purpose, as well as using a lot of softer footage to create a calm appearance.
To make the iteration of stalking or following, footage of a suspicious person who seems to keep looking over their shoulder and appearing worried about their own safety. If this was put alongside footage of lava appearing over a hill or over a ledge, making it look as if the lava is 'watching' the person. This will give the appearance of the lava stalking the person.

I do not want to rely on the music to get the atmosphere but would prefer to rely on the footage. It is important that the music or sound effects support this footage, but don't over-rule it and take away from the effect created by the footage.
