Chapter 5. My Experimental Video

Belief is the main concept that i would like to portray in my experimental video.
The main point being that as we get older we lose the ability to believe. A child's belief is seen as imagination more than fact, even though the older generation believed the exact same things when they were younger.
The belief i am focusing on is magic.
The way in which i would like to show this concept, is by part of the video being of a woman with magical powers. I will be able to show this with stop frame animation and lighting.
The other part of the video will show interviews with members of the public. I will ask both adults and young children if they believe in magic, and if they do believe then what they think magic is.
I would like to switch between the two parts with either juxtaposition, change in music or a slight fuzz as if changing the channel on a television.
The lighting would be dark to give the effect of mystery. I would like the majority of lighting to be from candles.
When exhibiting my work i would prefer for it to be indoors with insense and candles to create even more of a magical effect.
My main inspiration was my own opinion that adults need to regain their ability to believe. However, i was inspired by Doll Face, not because they are particularly similar but because they are real life problems shown in a surreal way.
