Optician Idea

When presenting our idea today, I put forward the idea of using the kaleidoscope glasses and having Luke (our lead) put them on the camera like a person (as an example). Matt, our technical teacher, then continued this idea with the idea of the camera being a person throughout the entire video. From this then came the idea of it being in an opticians with different lenses and glasses being put on the camera as if Luke is an optician changing the lenses - in a manner of asking "how do these feel" like in a real setting, also seeing the legs of the person who is the camera as they sit etc. Other ideas that surround the opticians idea includes:

• The hot air balloon you focus on
  
• The symmetry of the eye chart
• Turning the lights off and putting a laser in people's eyes

Daisy then suggested using these different lenses changes as transition to different positioning of the band members or types of rooms. 

While this could be a good idea, we decided as a group that we have so many different options at the moment that we need to sleep on it and pull from our favorites as there is too much going on at the moment. Personally, I feel as though the opticians idea is cool and could work or a big budget with cool effects (like an OkGo video), however, with our skill, time restraints and budget I'm skeptical as to whether or not we will be able to execute it the way we would like. We also place a lot of risk in it actually working and coming off to the camera as we envisage it because, ultimately, we could end up with a sub-par video because we couldn't execute our idea with all factors considered.
