COP visual response: Idea generation

As soon as my essay was finished I started generating ideas for the visual response part of COP. To  be honest I had this idea since I have started the essay and I sort of stuck with it because I feel it was the best way to amplify my essay. In one part of my essay I mentioned how school resemble factories:
"First of all, the whole educational system is built to cater the needs of industrialism which makes it greatly out of date today. It seems to render kids in batches, sorting them by age and academic abilities. Even the schools structure resembles a factory- ringing bells, broken down into certain subjects and therefore separate facilities."
So I decided to build from there. After the tutorial with Richard he thought it would be an interesting idea to picture schools as grim factories producing children, so I figured to take more of a visual approach than a narrative. I was considering to follow a narrative of one particular student who questions the way the factory works and what he is supposed to do when hes outside. But I figured it would not make as much of an impact as a more visual animation. By visual animation I mean create a series of backgrounds and pan through them slowly revealing what the animation is about and using music to add to the environment. I started off with search for music that would help with mood of the animation and would set the one for it. As I browsed through various different libraries, one song kept popping into my head and I figured to listen to it a couple of time and see if it gave me any ideas.

After listening to the song I decided to buil my animation around, the music inspired a lot of visuals for me and I started drawing sketches.
