Kinetic Typography planning

Here I have read through my quotes and made notes on the movement, size, colour and font of my main expressive words. This will help me in the storyboarding stage of my pre-production

Kinetic Typography Initial Ideas

I made some notes on a few ideas I had about the kinetic typography task. 

I wanted to focus on quotes that contained a large number of expressive words. These would be easy to emphasize later on in the production stage. As I found with some research into other creators content: expressive words can be animated more creatively to convey a visual message.

My initial ideas looked at a multitude of different media sources for possible quotes. I looked at film quotes including the work of Quentin Tarantino whose films are dialogue heavy. I do however realise that the effectiveness of the quotes may be compromised If the voice actor cannot  

Another avenue I looked at was poems and books. I feel as though I could get a really unique take on these, as well as being able to add music which could be an effective combination. Some poems I looked at include 'If' By Rudyard Kipling and Futility By Wilfred Owen which both touch on interesting themes and could be expressed well with kinetic typography.

My 3rd idea included making a compilation of famous book quotes(EG. HG Wells' Time Machine and The mysterious island by Jules Verne). These would all relate to a certain theme like war or freedom. This might be a more interesting approach to the brief as I could get different voice actors to record each quote and express them with different: Font, Size and coloured text.

Refined Ideas for Kinetic Typography

I have decided to go with my 3rd idea of using multiple quotes on the theme of war. Here a few quotes I plan to use and record for next week. I will record all of these quotes and decide later which ones to use.

“War is what happens when language fails.” 
― Margaret Atwood

“I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.” 
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Two Towers

“It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.”
― Voltaire

“Only the dead have seen the end of war.” 
― Plato

“All war is a symptom of man's failure as a thinking animal.” 
― John Steinbeck

“If everyone fought for their own convictions there would be no war.” 
― Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace

“When the rich wage war it's the poor who die.” 
― Jean-Paul Sartre, Le diable et le bon dieu
