    Video Project Proposal

    VIDEO TITLE:
    Now You Do (Working Title)

    Theme of Video:
    Tragedy leads to estrangement, preventing healing and promoting depression.

    SYNOPSIS OR TREATMENT: 500 words or less


    Rather than grieve together after experiencing a third trimester miscarriage, a husband
    and wife grow distant and attempt to repress their feelings in emotional isolation. They
    ultimately become strangers to one another before another near tragedy (and a
    surprise visit) exposes the damage they are doing to one another.

    VIDEO STYLE:
    The film is a narrative piece, but less literal than a cut and dry linear; a lyrical montage
    between past and present comprises the bulk of the video, highlighting happier times in
    juxtaposition with the night of the tragedy and the bleak present. The film primarily
    focuses on the darker moments, making use of low key lighting, with deeply saturated
    blues and greys that visually substantiate the films dark theme. A mix of music and
    incomprehensible noise (all at once corporeal and mystical) make up the soundtrack.

    An aspect Im really interested in exploring with the piece is the use of high speed
    camera techniques, particularly with the scenes set in the present. An incredibly high
    frame rate (utilizing a program like Twixtor), would help to create a look that is all at
    once reminiscent of a highly detailed, surrealistic painting or photograph in video form.

    In stark contrast, the ending shot of the film is captured in a raw, realistic, emotionally
    confrontational style, utilizing source lighting and ditching the background track in favor
    of diegetic sound, la Dogme 95.

    TARGET AUDIENCE:
    Primarily adult, due to the mature nature of the subject matter.

    LENGTH OF VIDEO:
    5-10 minutes.

    OBJECTIVES:
    Create a memorable, visceral, affecting video of considerable (ie, professional) quality,
    appropriate for festival submission.

    SETTING & RESOURCES:


    Setting:
    The majority of the scenes are indoors, involving props and rooms typical of
    most modern homes/apartments (bathroom, living room, garage), so we are
    confident we would be able to locate locations with these characteristics with
    relative ease.

    Team:
    Jordan Naraja - Director
    Carlos Grajeda - Assistant Director
    Kyle Haubert - Cinematography
    Dylan Fujimoto - Editor
    Corey Carruthers - Audio Design
    Olivia Hughes - Casting, Script Supervisor, Writer

    Equipment:
    Cameras:
    Panasonic HVX 200
    Panasonic HMC150
    Panasonic GH2
    Canon T2i
    Canon 60D (x2)

    Lenses/Filters:
    Multiple

    Mics/Audio:
    Zoom H4N1 Audio Recorder
    Rde NTG-1 Shotgun Mic
    Rde DSLR Video Mic Shotgun Mic
    Blue Snowball Mic

    Budget:
    Team pool (roughly $100 or so each)
    Additional funding as necessary.

    PLAUSIBILITY STATEMENT:
    This project is a plausible and viable choice due to its relative containment as far as
    locations and prop use go, allowing for emphasis on utilizing artistic effects in post.

    The pre-existing group (which has already been meeting over the last couple months in
    regards to working on the project for this class) is well-rounded in each area of
    production, in addition to being well-equipped with individual tools, equipment, and
    accessibility to other resources necessary to the project (actors, music, etc.).
