On wednesday the 6th april I presented my two final ideas for my FMP. The aim was to decide between the two ideas and pick the one which you thought would be the best and workable. From looking back at my influences and the pieces of work I developed, I decided to continue with my experimentations and lead myself to incorprate the skills and knowledge which I have gained during this course into My FMP.
My 1st idea which I presented was based on creating a short experimental film which would run between 4 - 6 mins long and would be seperated into 4 parts (4 diffrent acts) the film would incorprate the 3 elements of moving image, audio and photography, I would also look to try new techniques and experimentations to incorprate in the film for example "Chroma key" I would look a placing a piece of moving image infront of a photograph as the backdrop. The film would be based around the idea of fear and I would show fear by creating the 3 elements which I talked about in my work. I also looked back at my "fear hope" project were I looked at light and darkness and how they would relate to hope and fear were I could also link them to heaven and hell. The idea for this was from looking at David Lynch's short 1968 film called "the alphabet".
My 2nd idea was to look at at creating various experimentations of moving image which was to be filmed during day and night, I would then look at manipulating the images using/creating effects on adobe premier/final cut, this would be followed by high and low key tones which I would generate on my synth to describe the day turning into the night. These pieces of moving image would be displayed on 4-5 monitors I had the idea of the them to switch between each other when either the high or low key tone was played on the monitors. My insperation for this piece was when I visited the "Nam June Paik" exhibition at the liverpool tate gallery and had displays of various video art using monitors an example would be "The robot family" this is what helped me to develope my idea.
The conclusion
My final conculsion between both of these ideas was to stick with the 1st idea which I thought related more to my previous work and I know somthing which could be achieved, the secound idea however I thought would be a problem due to being able to get hold of the monitors and looking at how to get each tone right on time with the moving image when they switched. I took in feedback from the class and tutors about these potential problems and also to explore more research into artists with a basis of fear in their work which could help me with finding more insperation and influence into my work.
