TE2775- Coming up with an Idea

As I am going to be filming my own footage and editing that to make it look like it is in a different world/have a different theme, I firstly jotted some notes down in my notebook, these are rough thoughts and I think from this, I have picked an idea that stands out the most to me.

Firstly, I thought about having a character travel in time from the present day (so now) to the future or past, this will show a distinct change as if the character went to the future, there would be alien like things I.e. space ships and flying cars and in the past, maybe see a historic event happen, like the world war. However, I do not really have a strong interest to get myself into this idea. 

The second idea was a character dreaming, the filming will be quite easy yet I can get some really good shots, however, I am still trying to work out how to transition from a character dreaming and it going into his dreams. To create a distinct world, I can create distortion in the narrative, the character could be dreaming of scary events, alien life, they could be looking back in time in their dream, so there are many possibilities I could choose from and I can make it really creative by using the effects I learnt in class using the 'Adobe After Effects' programme. 

It looks like I will be using the second idea as I quite like the idea of having a character sleeping and dreaming and then the audience being able to look into his dreams, there are many techniques in Adobe After Effects that I can use, I can add in some really cool stuff to create a distinct change in the world he is in and it also means that the audience is getting a glimpse/experiencing his mind.
