500 word Video proposal

For the theme of my concept idea for the project at hand, I want to try an capture the essence of imagination and to get the audience to think about what is happening on the screen in accordance to the audio accompanying the footage. To achieve this I thought it would be a fantastic idea to combine the natural world in all its wonder, with the urbanised industrial feel of big cities. I have decided to pursue this concept because the sense of emotion that I get from listening to the music piece that, we as a group have decided upon (Papua New Guinea – Future sound of London), depicts each of these settings, converging as one. This is largely due to the drum and base sounds being along side a soft chanting voice. I want to push this forward because I have seen it done in numerous time lapse videos both on television and the internet, and in my opinion, they seem to capture the viewers imagination. In addition, I would also utilise the use of vibrant colours, dynamic effects and transitions to aid me in conveying this emotional message of the unique juxtaposition from each of these environments.
Because the time lapse video clips that I have seen are full of emotion and work beautyfully in how they are created with an audio peice, I am pushing this idea forward. I believe this would work fantastically with the audio track we have selected, because I feel that, again, it would greatly exaggerate and amplify the underlying theme of what I am trying to achieve. From here I get the idea of filming a large build up area, or busy road with alot of fast moving traffic rushing past the video camera. With the camera's shutter speed set at afew seconds, it would be possible to capture some exciting colour patterns from the passing traffic. This would then switch from a scene like this, to perhaps a mountain side or valley, with a time lapse of clouds flying overhead. This switching back and forth would go on over the course of the video, with the scenes altering, to give it more variety. I believe that this unique mix of video sequences would surely invoke provocative thought with the audience, as it has done with me while conducting some preliminary research. A good example that uses these methods would be the music video Vermillion, by slipknot. I hope to achieve such a high standard of work within my own music video. Some scenes that I have in mind for using, are places such as, A bridge overlooking a motorway, On top of a building that overlooks a busy road, a path, that is directly facing traffic, A city scape where you can see the sun setting, a hill side where you can see the sun set, a lake or stream for a serene setting, a fast flowing stream with the reflection of lights on the surface, and a hillside or open spaced fields where I am able to capture cloud formations. I am anticipating more discussions upon our next group meeting, but I am confident that I can persuade the group to use the underlying concept of my idea.
