Video Proposals [UPDATE]

I’ve been putting off posting my video proposal because I really didn’t know what I wanted to do at all, but I think I’ve narrowed it down to a few topics, and have actually taken footage for all the topics so I’m prepared to do whichever.

My possible topics are as follow:
1. Continuing what I argued with my visual essay, I thought I could do a video about the underground graffiti art scene that is captured throughout the city of Columbus, and how this is a viable and respectable medium for art.

2. Another topic I wanted to take a look at is college life. More specifically, how people go about their life away from “home” and how they spend their time at school and in their free time. Also, I’d like to take a look at what people think about college as part of their life. Is it just something you have to do? Is it something you should take in stride, take it slow, explore all your possibilities, or should you go in with a set plan, and finish within a certain amount of time, and join the “workforce” in a timely manner?

3. I also thought about doing something along the lines of how people perceive the mysteries of the world and how it shapes our reality.

 

[UPDATE]

After a few days of consideration, I have come to the decision that I am going to base my video argument on the mysteries and great questions of life (i.e., religion, history, myth, legends, conspiracies, etc.) and how people’s individual interpretations of such things shape our own realities. In doing this, I’m going to compile a list of said uncertainties, questions, and mysteries, and then interview individuals and get their take on each subject, then ask them how these things shape who they are, what they believe, what they do, etc.
