Hello class!
It took me a bit to properly get around to posting my idea for the final project, but that was primarily because I had run out of ideas to implement… However, I was struck with a bit of inspiration from the last class example the professor showed us last class!
Here is how I would want the story to go: A student sits down to work on their final project for DTC 208. As they think through a concept, they manage to come up with one! And as they start filming themselves working on said idea, they only get about a day’s worth of footage due to procrastination and forgetting to keep filming. What’s worse, they used that concept idea and proved it efficient to turn in for a DIFFERENT final, and is forced to start over on the final for 208.
They repeat this process 2 more times: Get an idea, film working on it for a day, procrastinate, time passes, they use the concept for a DIFFERENT final, start over. By thanksgiving break, they’ve run out of both time and ideas, and decide to use the footage they DID get as a way to create a “video essay” surveying the life of a procrastinator during finals season.
This would serve not only as an interesting concept for a video, but it would also let me NOT procrastinate, as I’d have to film in real time and on a weekly basis in order to get the footage that I need in order to capture this idea properly!
