The Purge Final 3

Motion Poster

I was originally thinking of doing motion posters for the Mr.Robot series, which I have been a big fan of recently. The way its filmed and the way they portray the main character really interests me, until this was shot down by Rosie when she confirmed someone else in the class was already completing this as their project.

I would still like to keep with the Anarchy/Corruption mindset and maybe can keep the same vibe with The Purge film series. Now being 3 fillms out, I think one 10 second poster for each film could be interesting.

I have a genuine interest in government corruption, mass surveillance etc. So my mind is currently going wild with ideas.

I’l be looking into research Anarchy/Rebel type content and also characters in the purge with their odd face masks and creepy intentions. I think i great direction to advertise the purge films will make the public feel like they are constantly being watched and now they have an opportunity to do anything, without the risk of being seen.

Can see these involving someone masked with a scarf, running through streets, potentially with a weapon, glitches, RGB splits, VHS overlays, camera HUD’s etc. Close up of someone with a threatening look.

Small ideas for both briefs..

Type in Motion

Good friends of mine in a band called Casey have just released a brilliant debut album Love is Not Enough, and having loads of experience with lyric videos I think I could create something cool to meet the brief. Tom of Casey’s lyrics stand out and mean a lot and contain many words that can be easily portrayed through the form of actions.

Being a film-orientated guy, I’d love to film Tom where its just him in a dark room with a key light directly above his head, so it’s not too distracting when the moving text comes into frame. But like his actions when performing live, be very immersive and physical with hand movements whilst singing along to the track. Whilst then the words come into screen, they will be manipulated by what looks like tom’s hands.

EG - The word ‘Apart’ will appear and it will look like Tom is seperating the word from the center, causing the word to split in half and dragged to either side of the frame.

Once I determine a section of a song, it will be much easier to visualize, as then we will have key words to come up with ideas on how they will be animated on screen.
