3-5 minute film, theme:water, here's the brief, any ideas?

Because my school has funding for visual arts, a local film maker is coming in to school in a fortnight for a week to work with 10 people doing art or photography at a-level to produce a film that is 3-5 minutes long, and with the theme: water. We must compose our own music to go alongside it, and have access to school film cameras, as well as being able to input our own and camera phone mini shots.





In order to get a place, I need to make a 'pledge' to the panel of judges-this can be a paragraph of writing, a brainstorm, or powerpoint presentation to sumarise our ideas and intentions.





I really feel I would benefit from this week of film work, though am a bit unsure as to how to go about this pledge to compete for a place, and, moreover, what to make my film about.








Any ideas for a film, following these guidelines?

This might sound a little off the deep end ;) but your theme could be, "Where has this drop of water been?" I'm sure you know the properties of water... a drop of water sits on the ground, it evaporates into the air, then becomes a rain cloud, it rains, an animal in the amazon drinks that drop, then "excretes" it, that drop evaporates again, becomes a rain cloud, rains over china, etc etc etc You could have alot of fun deciding where your drop of water goes. As far as the pledge, I would put together either a word doc or a powerpoint, first page being the title with maybe a water droplet image, second page being the concept (like what I wrote above - but in your wods), third page being the things you need to execute - i.e. pictures, video clips of places the water droplet visits, sounds it hears, music from those places, etc. That should be sufficient for a proposal/pledge. Good luck.

may be slightly morbid, but the sea is a graveyard for millions of people -





On all the oceans white caps flow


you do not see the crosses row on row


but those who lie beneath the sea


rest in peace, for your countries are free





That poem's about the second world war, but i find it thought provoking. It may be a slightly different angle to look at if there's lots of cometition.
