My current plan for the final project is to follow the story of a letter discovered by the main character (me) that talks about a hidden time capsule or buried wealth of some kind at a place a few hours away from where the main character lives/presently is. The story will follow along as the main character makes the journey many hours (not actually hours away) drive away to an old barn or similar abandoned location that the letter says the item is located at. Then the character will search for the item, only to give up after a few hours of searching. As the character walks back into his car, the camera will focus onto the item described in the letter. There are other elements to this story, however this is a simplification of it that will also likely change as it is continued to be refined. In theory, from how I plan to record, there will only need to be 3 main locations. One at some kind of library or coffee shop, one on the side of a quiet road somewhere (traveling B-Roll), and one at an abandoned building or yard somewhere. Between these three filming locations, I believe I will be able to simulate the illusion of the 4-5 locations the character visits in the story. This should hopefully be able to be split across 2-3 days, each only really taking an hour or 2 max for each recording session.
