MOVIE DEVELOPMENT

Collage- a movie about the art of life.

So my movie opening is going to be kind of a stop motion animation, but not really. I'm going to make this a4 sketch book the opening, with me turning pages and each page will have different titles/ characters doing things and getting introduced and stuff. This means because most of my things are just photos, I just need to take the photos and stick them down, so it wont be too hard to source.
I don't really know what the plot of the movie would be but I imagine it would be like some guy who is some washed up artist who is sick of spending all his time in cafes and needs to find inspiration so he goes to all these art galleries around the world (maybe he wins the lotto for the cash flow problem) and craft fairs looking for a muse. I guess it could be classed as a quest movie but kind of indie because its about art and stuff?
Because it would be starting as an almost clinical blank page, and then exploding to all this colour and stuff I want it to be surprising. I also want it to show different eras of art, like minimalism and romanticism, pop art etc. These different art aspects would all represent one character, but I'm not going to think about that too much because I don't have to make the whole movie and otherwise I will spend too much time developing the story and not making the opening.
I want the audience to leave feeling like they have just seen something beautiful that has enriched their appreciation of art, and want to know where the characters lives is heading. I don't know how our class would receive this film, because I envisage it to be a movie with scenes that are just this guy looking at some amazing painting with eerie far away music playing and it slowly zooming in/out on the painting, so its not particularly action packed.
Because its just shots of a book, it could get boring so I will change shots and use closeups probably. Most of it will be in mid-shots. The change in pictures will also create interest, and ill change my nail-polish/rings/bracelets in random times to make little quirks.
I think it would be cool to make the book appear that it belonged to the main character, so on the black front cover I will personalise it according to his character development.
I could get film stills of various actors/actresses and make them my main characters (as long as they have been in enough movies to get the right actions to screen-cap) or if that is too much work just take photos of my friends/family to use instead.
I know I want to end it by having a picture in the book and then that picture becoming the establishing shot of the first scene with real people interacting and moving. Like they go into the book blues clues style.
I still need to think of a soundtrack/song, which I should do first because thats the most important thing.
