After having a look into the stop motion idea, I decided that I was not going to be able to do it, taking into account that it required a lot of time and more importantly a very own area that I would be able to completely isolate so that things like light, positions or even stuff that could be moved, didn't affect the continuity of the video. Having that said, I started looking into very new ideas, but that at the same time sticked with my original plan, which was not to do a usual video with actors and flashbacks, as I though it was very cliché already. I wanted to do an animation, something new that I hadn't even done before. As a matter of fact, after thinking and thinking what I could do, I decided that I wanted to create my very own 2D animation. I have never been very good at drawing, but I am good at designing and creating and playing with shapes in the computer and that is when I said, why not and took the big risk.The idea is to tell a story through an animation with the poem as a song playing in the background. My original plan was to make the story just as an animation, but an advice that Simon gave me was that I should introduce the animation with some real life action. I liked the idea a lot to be honest and that is when I decided to create the animation, which was still going to be the main focus of the film, but at the same time was to be integrated and give a reason to it. The idea now was to start with real life, have animation and end with real life as well. I decided that I liked that idea a lot.
After setting up the idea, I talked it through with teacher Helen, who liked the idea as well, but gave me a couple things to take into account. The first one was to make sure that the music fitted, then she told me that I also should introduce the animation with real life, but I had to be careful with the way I did it since she didn't want that for a bad transition, all the hard work looked a bit bad. Taking all that on board I started working on it.
