Big Idea Reflection

How did you decide your big idea? 
Well for my big idea i wanted to do something that could be pretty relevant for everybody but also something that I had a connection to.
So I thought and thought, and decided to do sort of a peer pressure video, but the peer as society.

How did you choose to show your Big Idea in video?
Well my original idea was a result from some stuff i have done before. I had this app called cinemagram
where you would only have one part of your video moving with the other staying the same, this is where i got my mirror idea from.

What Video concepts did you decide not to do? Why?
I thought some rodioscope would be cool but for my time alloted i couldn't manage to finish it. And i'm not awesome with flash.

Do you feel you effectively showed your Big Idea in your video?
Yes i think so. I think my plot is remotely evident but you can also take more from it.

What was the best part of the process for you and Why?
hmm, well for me, not a lot of it was great. I don't think i had as much time as i would have liked, and i didn't really have a video in mind that 
I wanted to do. It was kind of frustrating without as much motivation to do it.

What was the best part of choosing your big idea compared to me picking it for you? the worst?
I liked the freedom, but i feel that my mind wondered too much and i couldn't focus on one idea. It became a cluster
of ideas and it was difficult to refine them.

Purpose another Big Idea:
There's a new song that really makes me think about things. It's called Eyes like Sky by Frank Ocean
I guess i would be kind of making a music video to the song but I think the message is a cool one. 
There's a (blind) boy. blind from his ignorance to the World and what he hasn't experienced. He sees a green girl
riding through her dream life in a green car. She goes to a green club and talks about saving the World from itself.
Then the boy also sees a blue man riding the bus home from his blue job. Even though he's always been blue, it hasn't been
the same since his wife passed. Even though the boy doesn't know anything, he still finds the medium and is able to describe a 
Yellow perfectly. The boy grows old and keeps this innocence and yellow in him and is happy and content although all this is going 
wrong around him. 
So i would film a boy seeing these two different people and see the two spectrums. I could filter over the video to show their color.
The girl driving her car around and the man riding the bus blue.
cut to the boy looking around and a yellow filter coming in.
fast forward to the boy a grown man watching the news as a war goes on. 
Ask him about the war and he responds, "War is for those who can see it, but what good is a border to me?"
Then I tell him, I wish you could see the ocean. He says "I wish you could see hope."
I asked have you ever seen the mountains? he says "No, but my faith could move those."
Finally i say i wish you could see the stars. he told me "I should see love."
fade to shots of the ocean and filter in a shot of the stars and the sky. fade to yellow and scroll credits.
