For my visual poem, I have two possible directions I can take this assignment.
The first being a 2 minute segment which I would title “nature in winter”, painting a picture into the way nature changes in the colder months. From frozen waterfalls to animals in the snow. I would put the clips to light, slow music, similar to the “Planet Earth” or “Our Planet” series. Being in Northern New Jersey, I have plenty of access to parks and beautiful look outs with nature so I feel I would have enough content. My main concern would be if the weather while filming or around the time of filming is extreme enough to make it clear this is about winter.
My second Idea would be covering the buildup and aftermath of the 2024 State Of The Union address by President Biden in Washington, DC. I would open with purposefully shaky video of the capitol dome from the highway. Then go into some security setup on Capitol Hill and the White House press briefing if there is one on the 7th. I would film lawmaker arrival and motorcades but I will not be inside the Capitol for the speech itself which eliminates the middle part unless I film the watch party I attend. I would end on myself getting ready for my stand up concluding on a clip of my stand up (speaking about speech and outro) and then the video goes dark. My concerns with this project will be timing. If I have enough time thought my trip to do this project justice.
