Video Outline: Twilight



I have chosen a piece of music from he luna nova website called Twilight Music. It is a dynamic piece that, to me, captures the feeling and mood of the end of a day. A calming, winding-down atmosphere is the central focus of the first part of the piece, but it grows from there, almost maniacally. Growing louder, and more dramatic with volume swells and the vibrato of violins, it eventually flattens off and recedes back into serenity once again, where it started.

I'd like to capture the feelings expressed in this video, or at least representations of these feelings or moods i think the piece conveys. maybe some time lapse footage of outdoor scenes at sunset or twilight, paired with footage of a single person, or couple at most, walking. I want-close ups of this so i get the details of their movement and actions, shots with hands/feet/arms/torso, etc. maybe some medium shots to establish location in space. all at twilight of course. Storyboard to come.

I want to hear the music. Can you give us a link?

Sounds good, what are some other visuals you could use to represent the "winding down" of the day ?

Alex said...

Will you capture the emotions of the music with the peoples actions? How will they be displaying these emotions?

Where is the music? It seems that the music everyone has picked illicits some sort of emotion and we are trying to capture that emotion. The talent really needs to pull this off to work. We must be able to see the emotion in the character to feel what the music is trying to elaborate.

I remember listening to this music piece and I think it fits with what you want to capture.

'capture the feelings' hmm. It may help to find out what the song is about, cause most of these pieces are smooth disfuncional in harmony and dont really envoke nothing but sleepliness and calm. If you dont know what the song is about and are going about emotions from a purely observational standpoint it can get tricky.

I think the only hard part to this piece will be capturing the twilight of the day. Location and time will be important for the outdoor scenes. Otherwise, good idea and nice piece.
