"flip book" film project idea

heeeellllllllloooooo.
So, i'm sitting here in class (btw, NOT in my own spot, because that's what i get for coming in late and having this girl who doesn't know the rest of the class...come in and take my spot...:( ) anyway, i just presented my idea for my "flip book". Basically what we had to do was come up with a concept for a video for the school's Urban Life art show that's coming up in March. (This is a class assignment, our teacher just wants us to show off our skills we've learned in the class by having something to submit in the art show. and it helps cuz the art show already has a theme.)
My concept starts off with an alarm clock showing 5am, and the light switch being turned on in a room, a woman is getting ready for work in the mirror. then there will be some transition, i'm not sure how just yet, but then it will show downtown san jose during the day. corporate buildings, banks, restaurants, museums, parks..etc. i want to be able to capture what city life is like downtown during the day. --business people, adults, corporate life.
then there will be some other transition and it have a girl getting ready in the mirror, putting her make up on, kind of dressed up to go out on the town. there will be a transition again, probably similar to the previous (of like the woman getting ready --> city buildings, etc) except instead of the city during the day, there will be a series of photos of city night. clubs, bars, pubs, hookah lounges, restaurants. here i will be capturing a different vibe the city gives off at night, how the city attracts specific types of people at different times of the day. the last couple frames will show another alarm clock (at the girls house) showing 5am and the light switch going off..
the concept behind the light switch is this idea of it "flipping on (or off)" different parts of the city during certain parts of the day..i have to develop this concept so it's grasped in the film...
anyway, if anyone has an imput let me knooowwww....i'm still developing this whole..idea.

random thought of the day:
trail mix, like REAL trail mix...not the stuff with m&ms in it..is pure greatness.
