Portrait of Place

For our first film project, we have to come up with a three minute piece that is an interpretation of 'portrait of place'. Our initial thoughts are to do something exploring the idea that nowadays people stay in doors, are 'couch potatoes' and are generally a wee bit more lazy than they used to be. As our project is going to be set in Edale, a beautiful place in the Peak District, we thought we could toy with this idea and have an individual looking through a TV, watching the environment their in. In other words, they would rather look at it through a TV than look around them. I think it will also be nice way to do a literal portrait of the place.

But Edale!! Did some online research to see what the place is like  -

Looks pretty idilic and postcard perfect. I think for our idea, this could work out pretty well as the frame of the TV can act almost like a picture frame. It would be good to get some sheep included too!
