Project 6: Video Editing -- Initial Ideas

My initial idea was to film cooking, more precisely baking a cake. When we were shown examples of previous years work, alot of them were cooking which turned me off this idea. Next i wanted to do someone getting dressed in the morning, as i started to come up with ideas for this i had one shot in mind which after a lesson on shot types i discovered would be an incredibly difficult shot to film. My plan was to have someone with a long coat and get them to zip it up, with the camera i want it to not only follow the zip up but rotate around the person slowly. For this i would need to create something to lift the camera steadily but a track of some kind to go around as well and this would have been way to difficult.

My last and final idea was taken from an advert, a fairy liquid advert to be precise. Using it as a references i decided to do short snappy cuts between each shot of my hands doing everyday things and i also have the idea of doing a short opening which would look like i had just got up to start my day. To do this i want to film my alarm going off then my hand coming out and turning it off and when i edit my video i will start will a short fade in to this shot. This is the fairy advert i took inspiration from:
