Project 6 Update

My concept will be about a bird that sings in its cage, giving life into its environment through its song, only to sacrifice itself in the process. The environment will start off as gray, and as the song goes, it shifts into color. Maybe there are flowers that begin to bloom, etc. Once the song ends, the bird's life will also end.

This piece will be set in an outdoors environment. There will be multiple shots showing the transition from gray and dead, to colorful and lively.

The initial set up will look like this (but with gray instead of this blue). Might need to make bird bigger along with its cage. Possibly need to make the foundation the cage sits on wider so the bird cage can be bigger.

Storyboard:
Wide shot then cut to close up on bird. Planning to have bird maybe cleaning its wing, giving it more movement.



Bird sees a birdy couple fly down to the bird fountain, being all lovey dovey. Makes the bird sad.

Bird starts to sing due to loneliness. Maybe music notes need to fly out as the song plays?


Starting with the tree branches: maybe music notes float by and then leaves or flowers or both bloom, color flows in.





The barren sticks begin to grow into big flower bushes.



The small plot of land becomes a small garden that has plants.




Bird fountain begins to sprout water out of the tube.



Towards the end of the song, the bird will go from a bright yellow into a gray like how the environment look. This is to signify the switched roles: now the bird will die after sacrificing itself to give life. Perhaps an additional shot needs to be shown of this environment now fully in color?

    the bird could be hanging up by dead porch flowers.

    the bird could start bright and colorful (more then just yellow) and then fade to gray when the song ends.

    I think the bird should imagine being with a mate rather then seeing another couple.

    How does the bird die? does it go to sleep or fall over?

    it would be cool if the bird brought a animal back to life
