I've been listening to them, and the one that I find more interesting is the second one, "The social animal". I've always been fascinated by the unconscious and communication so I chose a sentence from the talk that I found very interesting: "When you look at me your brain is reacting to the things I'm doing as you yourself are doing them". I've seen this happen with some people, when I speak to them you see their lips slightly miming what you are saying most probably without them even noticing. And for some reason, that I can't really explain, is that it made me think about my housemates whom I am an 'social animal' with, and more specifically to that moment in the evening when we all finally get home, have dinner and watch some TV and the conversation that comes up every day is 'What have you been up to today?'. I can't really think about a reason why that talk made me think of this, maybe it is my subconscious having an EUREKA moment as mentioned earlier in the same talk.
So from all this I cam with an idea for a short film that will use both stop motion and moving images, and mostly split screen. Because the idea of it is quite long, I will change the timing of the footage as well.
Thea idea is..The film will start with 3 people doing something random on a split screen. Then they get together in the living room and discuss what they've been up to that day.
When the first one starts saying what he/she's been doing, referring to one of the 3 videos from the first shot (will portray this by showing it very fast and backwards as if the person would go through the actions in their head), the screen splits in three and we see the other two people doing the same thing. I intend to repeat this for all three stories, but each time I will be using a different method of split screen. I found a couple of very interesting split screen methods that I will be using, trying to go away from just three small images on the screen, trying to use the space in a more interesting and interactive way.
