For my third year project I have to write three proposals for ideas to do over the course of the year. The film I am most keen on is a 'camera-less film' project, painting on film, creating a synaesthetic piece of filmmaking, in which I will assign certain colours to different instruments in a certain piece of music, and make these colours move in synchrony with the music, producing, in the end, a visual and colourful representation of the song.
However, the time that is given to make this project will not be enough for what I intend, and I don't want to sacrifice the quality of the piece, so I will save this idea for after graduation, something to do in my free time.
The idea I will be persuing is to create an installation in which one or two people will sit in a small space made of four projection screens as walls, and for images to be surrounding the viewer. The images projected will be testing the boundaries of the viewer, as I am trying to display the varied and changable line between comfort and claustrophobia. The images will start by filmically placing the viewer in a common comfort zone - for example wrapped in a duvet or in between light sheets, with images changing gradually and becoming more intense and less comfortable, presenting images that viewers may find claustrophobic. An interactive element to this installation will allow viewers at any time to take the film backwards if they become too claustrophobic, and the images would become gradually more comforting and sensitive.
I have become more excited and inspired about this over time, and look forward to starting the project.
