One of my ideas for this project, was to use family archive footage and transform it into a sort of memory game. I have 13 DVDs, and will go through them to chose select scenes and then get my sister and other family members to guess what happens next by pausing the video and each saying their thoughts and then playing it to see who was right. To portray each persons thoughts, i was going to use actors or maybe drawings and then play the footage after and see who was closest, shown in a dream like state or a flashback. I was going to do this about 4 or 5 times, just showing the best few ideas, creating a sort of humorous feel to the piece. For sound, i was going to use a voice over from my family and maybe add some upbeat backing track under the re-enactment portrayals. To extract the scenes from the original DVD, and place them into a new sequence using Final Cut. To do this, ill use the app DVD VOB, which is a stream clip programme, allowing me to take out certain bits and make them into short clips. I will go through the footage, and see what could work in this project.

After looking through all of the footage from the 13 DVDs, i was disappointed to find it was mainly just holidays and there isn't enough interesting footage to want to continue on with for this project. I don't think it will look visually interesting to try and get a comedic reaction and i don't think it will keep me creatively invested.
Because of this i will go on to researching into my second idea, based on the mobile phone concept. I have a few different approaches i can do with this idea, and will experiment with them after doing some research and collecting all the props i need to achieve this idea. I think this theme has many great opportunities to practice with different style shots, composition and more importantly sound. I will try different approaches to make sure that the visuals and sound compliment one another.
