Idea 10/29: Choices

As I move along with my work after mid-critique I have a lot to think about. Not only do I have a billion ideas running through my head at one time but i have a billion options. This work has so many places to go. At this point in the game I feel like my options for works are limitless. There is so much to mess up and at the same time so much to choose from. Working out ideas is like gridding out the NYC subway, one line after another.

One thing that really hit a chord though was the idea of the decisive moment within all these genres. There is a point that all of these shows have in common. example:

Crime Scene
- CSI ( miami,nyc), Bones, Law and Order (all spin offs)
-the murder: the body, the crime that propels the show into being. this is the moment that these shows depend on. This is what they need to have a show.

By using and collecting these "moments in time" I do not need to depend on my camera to blur the image for a color pallet, instead I can use it for its pure purpose. By compiling the images onto each other hopefully i can come up with a single mood, a distinct moment in time.

It was also suggesting that I look at the Nealson Ratings. Looking at what is viewed when/what is viewed the most. Mapping out all this information is quickly becoming a task all its own.
