Obsession - First ideas.

Obsession ideas

The project theme or word is 'Obsession' which is a very broad word. When i think of obsession i think of a person or a thing which is obsessed with somebody or something. However, things such as daily routine can be an obsession because you do it everyday at a certain time. The first idea which came to my head was my daily routine because this is something that nobody else sees but me. It would also show people a side of me they have never seen or wouldn't believe. I would show this through a series of images or a film, if a film it would just have the background noise and no added sounds. The film would jump from clip to clip showing me doing things i do everyday.

However, the word obsession is very interesting and i want to make something which will interest the people viewing it. To do this i believe it needs to be personal, something they haven't seen before. I don't really have a lot of things i'm obsessed with except for cats and travel.

Cats are a big thing in my life and i aspirer to become a mad cat lady in life so the film could be about that. However, that is just an idea, a fun one, but i wouldn't know what to do with it yet.

Travel is a big part of my life because i travel every other weekend up to Leeds to visit my boyfriend. I'm a really big nerd when it comes to traveling, i love bus, car, train, coach journeys and even walking. I love to be able to just sit or walk and not have to worry about things. To do nothing except listen to music and watch the world go by. I love it. Im very much a observer in life and enjoying being one. I take the time to look at the world go by, i notice things and people as they go by in the life. Were both alive but they don't even notice me, its normal to just ignore this beautiful world were in. The trees, the amazing shapes they make through the branches and the endless fields which make this country so unique. I watch as hundreds of cars go pass with hundreds of life's in them, seeing that there alive. And if one of those cars were to crash further along there travel, would i be sad? Would i even know? Things happen every day and we ignore them because there seen as normal but everything in this world is amazing and i enjoy every second of life. Life at this moment in time isn't the best but thats what life is about, i think its important for everybody to just, at least once a day, to stop what there doing and just look outside or even go outside and just watch. Watch as the world keeps on going, without you doing a thing, people will keep on walking and talking, birds will keep on flying, even though you have stopped. This a major obsession for me and i would love to do something with it.

I want to make this personal and about me but there is someone in my life whom gets obsessed very easily and that is my boyfriend Bailey. He gets obsessed with a new game every couple of months and i have noticed this through the two years we have been together, he sees it too but games are a big part of his life because he is on a gaming programing course. From this i could make a film of a computer screen clipping to every game he has become obsessed with other the last two years, and trust me I remember them all...
