Thoughts and References

Hey, sorry I didn't brainstorm earlier, I've been rather swamped today.


I remember the gorilla exercise from Josh's class, and that sounds like a very appropriate idea for our project!

When I was thinking of anticipation, I guess I was thinking of a more literal interpretation of the word. Like I had an idea of stylistically representing the building up of excitement of an event, without the reveal. Like an animation of a predatory animal tensing before it pounces, or a runner before the race begins, or a woman very late in her pregnancy (it'd be a less intense rep of anticipation). And for sound, maybe a rising heart-beat, which signifies an elevation of mood or excitement, or maybe the sound of an orchestra preparing for a piece, or a musical build up of some kind.

I'll try to get some referential images or videos before class tomorrow for some of my ideas, and post it up here. I'm still rather unsure of what he expects from us  :S

Edit:

I also thought it might be cool to have a running narrative that has a character working towards a goal that the viewer doesn't know of, but is interesting enough to make them eager for the final reveal. Kind of like a man running toward the light at the end of the tunnel sort of thing. There would be many pieces that do not make any sense until they are brought together.

Edit Edit:

Here's wikipedia's definition of :
"Anticipation, or being enthusiastic, is an emotion involving pleasure (and sometimes anxiety) in considering some expected or longed-for good event"
We might also want to consider the duality of the word as it's defined by wikipedia.
