Time Project - Proposals

#1 - Rearrangement of time, Undo Time
shot out of sequence
Assembly/birth of an object/organism filmed out of sequence
Flowers being reassembled, i.e. petals being formed back into the form of a flower
Makeup being applied
A child playing and getting hurt
Undo time - rewind time. If one doesn't like a current result, they can rewind time in order to fix that result. Not suggesting a time machine theme or anything but a small rewind to fix one small issue.


#2 - Exploration of why it takes one person/thing X amount of time to do something versus another person/thing
Morning routine for 2 or more people
Commute for 2 or more people
Maybe an exploration on the principle of how clocks move at a different rate based on altitude. A clock in a satellite moves at a faster rate than the ones on the ground.
Maybe use a different object to represent the clock principle.
Also maybe work with the principle that an object moving faster will age faster.

#3 - When time ends and begins in one person's perception versus the reality that time is continuous
i.e. Renaissance, Ice Age, etc. - small pockets of time in the grand scheme of the world's one time
Childhood, a small pocket of time versus someone who is still continuing on
Think The Matrix - time stops for one moment but the audience's time is still moving
Time slows down in the clip below but it is obvious to the audience that time is still going at a normal rate. The audience's time has remained normal while the actor's time moves at a mix between the audience's perception of time and a time that is perceived by the audience as slowed but to the actor's is still within their normal rate of time.

  1. I think your first idea is your strongest, though I like the subject matter of the third. I think the third idea would be more difficult and require more effort in obtaining props,costumes,and locations. The first idea is more tangible from a technical and realistic standpoint, and could be good practice for editing and using transitions.
