Blog 10. The start of a new beginning

My newest idea and the one I shall be sticking with is all centred around the metaphors and proverbs of time. My aim is to create a riddle almost using these metaphors and proverbs without revealing that my concept is time but the images/film I use and the different scenes and shots would be in relation to what is being said without being overly obvious. The images in the film themselves would be incoherent on their own but when strung together in an order that is told by the riddle/poem, it will make sense. 

Current planning to explain my concept: 



I know the writing is rather small but on the left hand side I have made a list of Time Proverbs and on the right, a list of Time Metaphors. The lines that cross between the two columns are lines that join each concept. For example:

On the left I have the word Waste as you can 'waste' time. On the right, it links with the time metaphors Money and Heartbeat. Time can be considered money and a heartbeat, so when you put the two together it becomes wasting money or wasting a heartbeat. 

I find this idea really interesting as it gives me a lot of visual clues and ideas for the film side of things and the special effects side too. 

Underneath that grid of words I made a list of the colour references that came out of each match, to give me ideas on what the colours of time are. The main colours that came out of it were Red, Blue, Black and White. For example, number 2 refers to the word Take which links to the metaphors 'a moment' and 'a gift'. The colours that i associated with this link was Red, as taking a gift can be seen as a kid hearted thing to someone. Taking a moment can be seen as passion and something that shouldn't be taken from you - you should enjoy every moment you have. I.e. red colour. 

Can i talk about how we look at this circular discs etc to read the time whereas in fact we don't look at the sky, passing of light, day to night, the tides etc. Again not mentioning time, just speaking about it in a riddle form.
