Making The Video

We decided the other day on the final ideas for our video, the themes being 'Lack of Communication' and 'Ignorance in Society'. The idea is basically, two people who know eachother yet seem to not want to know eachother, so whenever they come in contact they simply ignore eachother. Trine and I came to this idea by a few conversations we've had in the past surrounding the fact that we've had experiences with people who choose to continuely ignoring us for some reason or another even when they know you. For example, you could have a flatmate, who you live with and see everyday, yet they wont even make eye-contact, let alone say something. And i've wondered what it is that makes someone blatantly ignore you even when they know who you are - is it shyness? is it simply ignorance? not knowing what to say? why is there this lack of communication? Whatever it is, it is nevertheless annoying and we feel it is visible in today's society. So, we tried to illustrate the idea of two people (Trine and myself) living in similar environments, having the same routines/habits, meeting in many situations, noticing eachother, yet are never able to bring themselves to say something.
We started taking photos and mini video clips around uni in places we would likely bump into eachother eg. passing eachother in the corridors or street, at a bus stop, in a cafe, in the library, in the park, jogging. (We got some strange looks off of people but that just added more humour to our day.)
The images we've got with be edited in colour and quality and imported into IMovie.
