I have many possible ideas that need to be narrowed down some upon discussion with my director. First, I thought about possibly finding and recording potential news stories involving Shepherdstown or the University. This would include finding topics and potential people to interview who are affected by the topic, followed by sound editing the interview to fit within a specific time. Second, I thought about the possibility of writing articles and reviews on select band cds or electric guitars and brands. Maybe, in this case, I could compile all of the reviews on a blog or website. Third, I could do sort of an experimental short film depicting some sort of “drug trip” or similar experience that makes use of repeated imagery and focuses more emphasis on sound. I mentioned an emphasis on sound because I like sound editing a little more than video editing. Fourth (and last idea so far),  I thought about the possibility of taking funny phrases from youtube videos and creating entertaining songs out of them. An example of this would be the “Hide Your Kids, Hide Your Wife” song inspired by Antoine Dodson.

One other idea I came up with involved the use of stock footage and making use of soundtrack pro and recorded audio (along with library audio) to mix a video much like what I did in Sound Design. It would include both video and audio editing, and the project would, more than likely, help me improve on my audio/video editing skills. Just an extra thought that I decided to include.
