Somewhere Over the Rainbow

I had been planning on doing an outdoor daytime shoot for a while seeing as it's an area I don't know a lot about. By doing it I'll gain new experience in shooting in difficult varying light conditions. I'll also most probably need to use some reflectors and flagging and I haven't done all that much with either so that'll be some more useful experience. Finally the film will also consist of a short bit of dialogue at the end so I'll get a chance to practice editing dialogue and recording wildtracks.

My idea involves a man seeing a rainbow in the distance, running after it with the view to getting to the end and meeting the anticlimax of a sort of attractive girl who's totally up for getting with him, it is the end of a rainbow after all! He initially feels a little dissatisfied but then he realises that he's got nothing better to do and the film ends with him disrobing. For added comic effect and for ease of casting we'll have a guy in obvious drag playing the part of the girl. It's basically commenting on how guys can be perfectly happy with "anticlimactic romance" and that they usually aren't as fussed as women would like them to be about idealistic "end of the rainbow" lovemaking.

The below music video is actually a music video I crewed on. The scene towards the start of the video involving the soldiers walking away from the battle scene is the kind of thing I'm looking to emulate: a journey across what looks like quite a distance.
