Proposal 1 – Baking in Motion, Split-Screen & Stop-Motion

This video will explore baking as a playful form of visual storytelling. Methods will include split-screen and stop-motion. The concept will focus on the process of a teenager baking cookies, following him as he prepares ingredients, mixes the dough, shapes the cookies, and places them in the oven. Multiple split-screen frames will appear simultaneously to show the different stages of the baking process happening at once. After the baking, it will switch to a LEGO figure sneaking up to the finished plate of cookies and stealing some bites. This will create a sense of rhythm and visual movement.

The mood for this piece is warm, playful, and slightly whimsical. This will be achieved through bright lighting, quick cuts, and energetic pacing that mirrors the excitement of baking. Split-screen editing will be used to edit the clips to show the process. Stop Motion animation will be incorporated to introduce the additional LEGO character.

Approx. length – 1:30-2 mins

Proposal 2 – Two Worlds, Split-Screen & Green-Screen

This video concept will be based around the daily interactions of a child executing a daily task, like walking to school. One side of the split screen will show the reality of them walking, while the opposite screen will show what is happening inside their head and the fantasies that can happen when a child uses their imagination. The goal is to visually represent how imagination can reshape everyday experiences.

The mood for this piece will feel curious and imaginative, with a sense of wonder. This will be achieved through contrasting visuals between the two worlds. Editing will include split-screen edits to show both POVs, reality and fantasy. Green screen techniques will be used to add additional depth to the fantasy side and bring some of the fantastical ideas to life.

Approx. length – 1:30-2mins
