World In Flux: "Moving On"

"Do you ever get the feeling that as world moves on, you are stuck in a moment?"

At very core level, the idea is still the same: "Moving On." 

There will be 6 vignettes


1)Future


2) Past


3) Passive


4) Present


5) Turbulence / Tense -In- Between


6) Cut-outs


"Future" vignette: I am planning about using this as the introduction video to the movie. This will be a remarkable incident, which will tie into the main menu where we will see a set of superimposed flashbacks before we get to the  menu. The menu will have choice of 5 vignettes:

Past, Present, Passive, Turbulence/Tense-in-between, Cut-outs.


All these are actually separate versions of flashbacks that we will be seeing while we are getting connected to the main menu. I am not sure whether or not having independent vignettes or inter-dependent ones topic-wise. The flashback vignettes will show how our past impacts our present and our future. I also want to show how our vision gets altered with regard to our thoughts. This is the "passive" vignette.  


I am planning to have voice-overs, silent portions and musical pieces through-out my project.

The mind bogus: Turbulence / Tense -in- Between. This vignette will focus on the transition phase of moving on. I am hoping to show the never-ending path to an unknown destination,  going around in circles until we somehow ease our mind out of the maze effect. I am still thinking about how to achieve this. Perhaps adding random odd images on to some parts of the video and de-coloration may be helpful. I might be using a very rhythmic song on the background like:

White Stripes: "7 nation army", some portions of David Guetta's tomorrow can wait or perhaps I can use my soundscape project...I don't know yet. 


As For cut-outs, I want to show how we blank-out some good times while we focus on some parts of a story. In other words, these are the details that I found unfit to other vignettes but still wanted to make part of a collage of moments that I captured during the process. 


Throughout the project, I will be repeating some portions of the videos in all videos with a certain variation, meeting the purpose of repetition and variation of our thoughts.
