My Video

The theme I have selected for my video is "Don't be a couch potato." The idea is to encourage young people to get off the couch and exercise, whether with friends, family, or by themselves. The stage is a simple living room with a couch facing a TV. The only thing on the couch is a large brown potato. You can hear the TV in the background. After a few seconds a father walks into the room and says "Hey Timmy! Let's go play catch!" After a few seconds of waiting for reply the father will say "Timmy?" and lean over to get a better look at the potato. Then text will appear on the screen saying something like "Don't be a couch potato. Go out and play." I haven't decided if there will be music yet. I will not need any pictures or props. Just a living room and potato. The idea is simple, but uses a common enough reference/expression that it will be remembered.

Hayley M is my partner for the project and her video brings attention to how lazy people can be in everyday settings. A person will be on their way to work and will find that the elevator is out of service. After seeing this the person will refuse to go to work because the elevator is not working and maybe go home. Hayley found some elevator music she wants to use for the video. Sounds like a fun idea!
