Script Writing

Developing my idea is not as easy as I thought it would be at all. I decided to do a documentary about Alzheimer's deceases. I watched a lot of videos from other patients and their support group and I saw what happens to them during this illness and all.

So my first idea was to do a story of a couple when they were younger and the same story when they grow up.
At first I was thinking of doing it in simple lines and all. Then I experimented with doing the characters in silhouette. Here is an example I did.


And from here came the idea of play with colors through out the documentary. At the start there is cheerful colors and as the illness gets worse the colors get fader.
Another idea that came to mind was to do it in 3D. The problem with that idea in my head was that it was starting to look like the part from the movie up. The problem with that is that it won't look unique and people will no longer see it as a documentary.

So I thought of another idea which is the one hopefully I will go with. I have parts of a storyboard I am working on it but I don't know how much it would work. I would still play with the idea of color and how it changes. Below is the storyboard I started.
So basically the entire shot will take place with the same camera angle and this time in this idea there will be a voice over. I decided to make it a flat one shot because the image will constantly be changing and transforming. For that reason i believe it would be acceptable to actually keep it in place. So to get my shot to shot though process going I draw and write at the same time. The style that I am using is not the final still I am still testing with that. 

I also began looking at how other people did transformation to get the idea of how many frames and how its done basically.

I am also trying to make a small transformation test to see how it would work but so far I just tested the legs moving will do more.
