we all made our own insects or creatures to go into the piece here are few. This pictures a a bit dark but its a wasp i created over the holidays Here’s the starts of the ant

Here’s filippa making her fireflysAfter i made the wasp i decided to make it 3D. So using what I had made already i just started to build onto it to make the shape more full. It kind of looks like a shrimp from this picture, but this is just the tail part as it’s in two separate parts.

Sketches

We decided to sketch down some ideas

First Ideas

After being shown ideas of future cinema in the first lectures my mind was pin-pointed into one area and i felt like my creativity could not spread. I put it down to a long summer of not doing any creative work though. Being new to the course i felt a bit confused with the terminology being used and what was expected, but soon picked it up with the help of Filippa and Damien who helped me with easing myself into the course and this particular unit. Our group decided to make a very abstract video installation on the subject of rape. We had to think about this in detail as it would be hard to make this recognizable without displaying explicit images or footage of sexual violence.  Using symbolism in an abstract manner seemed to be the best route to go down but without making it to cliché, showing the feelings of both the attacker and victim.

Our first idea to present this was to make a 3 screen projection that curved around so you felt enclosed and trapped in the environment, being close to people and not having your desired personal space would inflict the emotions that would relate with the narrative. The decision was made that it would be good to have more than one type of typical rape scene, the idea of all three screens showing its own tale seemed to be a good idea.

1. In a nightclub and date raped

2. Being attacked in a taxi

3. Followed and raped in woods

After discussion with ourselves and Liam the discussion was made the woods was to typical film cliché and that sticking to one of the ideas and displaying it over the three screens was the best way to go. Each screen would show a different emotion or point of view e.g the attacker looking at her through his P.O.V and not as reality but as him fantasizing over her. As her P.O.V is just a typical night out with your mates having fun, but making the whole experience dark and uncomfortable for the viewer.

We wanted people to be pushed through a tight dark corridor type space to get into the main part. Making people already feel uncomfortable and edgy with the surroundings, using audio of footsteps would add to the feeling of fear by making it feel as though you were being followed down this narrow space.
