revised proposal

Definitely doing ghosts, I'm really excited about the idea. Of course, it won't look much like what's currently in my head, but that's partly because the room in my head looks rather like the one I drew for capstone. XD Anywhichway..

Shooting footage of an old building - haven't decided exactly which yet, but currently thinking of the Opera House in town, or maybe (maybe!) the old campus building on Main St in town... Ideally, I'd like to use an old place that's still commonly used, that people walk through every day and continue to add layers of life and experience onto. (But, if there's a chance I can get into the chapel of the old college building..that'd beat out everything omg. <3 Wish the old movie theatre were still there, that would've been perfect...) As the video walks through/looks around the location, there would be faint glimpses of things which aren't currently there - an unfamiliar face reflected in a glass, someone fading quickly in and out of visibility, an object on a shelf that's not quite opaque... I want to give the sense of there being more within a place than we are usually able to see, to provide visual queues to what a place was in the past.

I also had suggestions to maybe show glimpses of what people once saw in the room, like them taking over your vision for a moment, a flash of how it used to look altogether maybe, and I like that too, I might do that as well.

I already have a volunteer among my friends to be a ghost, who danced in a video for me in the previous video class and was beautiful and perfect, so I'm really excited she's offered to help again. <3 (Tom's volunteering too, he just doesn't know it yet. XD ) The difficulty is in finding people that wouldn't look out of place in a past time period.. which's just as well, as I don't want to overdo it, either.
I have pleeenty of old objects sitting around (though I realise I should've grabbed a few more while home, hmm), antique shops are my friend.

Sound.. might actually be a first crack at what I've in mind for capstone - a bit of air movement, soft whispers, scraps of melody, or it might just be one of those elements, depends how the footage winds up looking and what's in my head while I'm shooting it.
