Idea Creation

Once i decided on my final idea and how i would like to present it i borrowed a Camcorder from college to capture some footage of my shoes at the park to experiment. I decided to film the shoes meeting at the park, firstly meeting at the bench, then head off to the roundabout and then to the swings. With the intention of speeding up the clips on the roundabout and swings so it flowed. At this point i wasn't to sure if this would work, and if i would be able to capture the flow i was after.

I took a total of 155 photos at the park, slowly moving the shoes to create a good flow movement. With all this footage i had an idea to create a short film accompanied by music in iMovie.
