WEEK 6: The Proposal Document

Playing around with stills with the green screen, we will practice keying in different situations. 

Week 7: - Additional potential future developments

Artist:
This drawing, which has been completed in ballpoint pen, ink, marker, and paper ink as a collage by Vicente Aguado plays on the idea of Human Reactions that we are focusing on for our own work.

Incorporate:
In terms of adding this into our own work, and developing from what we have already established, we would be using the green screen to show parts of the human body being swapped with bizarre animal parts.

This will show the human reaction to distorted images of themselves. It may also change their perception on animals or the difference between animals and humans.

It is a very intriguing and different take on the traditional green screen backdrop change.

WEEK 10: Planning the presentation and pre recorded footage:

Workshop week 10 planning:

Group name: “Frankly not Frank”

On Wednesday we will be filming the pre-recorded footage in the green screen studio (T21).

Green screen is what we’re using the for the pre recorded footage

Blue screen is what we will be using as an interactive element of the final presentation:

The audience will walk in front of a blue strip and be projected onto photos of other spaces we’ve taken photos of. This will be a concept of what the space will technically do.

On the presentation week we think we should have:

-       Our fully edited pre-recorded footage projected on a wall in a continuous loop.

-       Two A1 Posters: a.) One poster showing the physical exhibition in the Tea Gardens.

                              b.) One poster showing the flow of the exhibition.

-       The interactive blue screen element. (We need to figure out how to stream this)

Three sections to the presentation: The interactive element, the pre recorded projections, an a laptop set up showing the behind the scenes process.

Filming the pre recorded footage:

-       We need to think about where the camera will be set up: Is it on the ground, on a stand or high up?

-       Walking towards the camera, panoramic projection,

-       Put a sound scape to it.

Makes sense in the non linear context: Make it non linear to take it back…

If you edit it afterwards you can drop the sequence in different

Bring two or three pairs of shoes in to make it seem like there’s more of an audience.

Three cameras from different angles: one set up on the ground filming our legs and feet, other set up on a tripod to film out top half and the third set up to film us from a distance.

(We will also set up one or two phones to do a time-lapse of us setting up to put on our blog).

WEEK 8: Research on stairs

Research of external steps of shipping containers, we want to look at putting in external steps as our exhibition will be 2 shipping containers high so the viewers need a way of getting to the top. 

We also wanted to explore the idea of potentially having the stairs up to the second level inside of the shipping containers so here is some research of this. 

WEEK 9: Ways of stacking/laying out the containers

                       
                     
                  
           
                    

                    
                   
                    

WEEK 9: The Official Final Development (post presentation)

WEEK 8/9: Further Developments: We refine our ideas down to a final concept

Development Ideas:

-       Walk into the container and look out the other end and seeing something keyed in through a shipping container somewhere else.

-       Set up the green screen screen in a room with a container in it. The audience then walk into the container to view the projection (accompanied with audio)

-       This incorporates the theme of shipping containers travelling all around the world, - being inside the shipping container when viewing the projection means it almost like you’re seeing the container taking you to different places around the world.

-       Block 12: Green screen (part 1) would be set up on one level; after the audience interacts with that space. After this they walk up the stairs to a second level which has the shipping container set up with the projections.

-       People are awkward, so it would be easier to have a green object they interact with instead. For example, a box they sit or stand on to be standing on top of or a lying down on to be flying.

Relating to the brief:

THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE EXHIBITION TO THE ENVIORMENT: We need to think about the flow of the exhibition:

-       One room with the container set up beside the green screen

-       Two rooms with the green screen in one and the container in the other.

-       Two levels with the green screen on the bottom and the container on the top.

Include: decisions about material construction, graphic design, colour, sound and lighting,

extends the list of conventional types such as: wall-hung work; objects that occupy floor space, exposed or encased; terminals; screens.

From our idea: What do we need to produce and submit?

-       A digital model of our physical exhibition set up Block 12 or whichever space we decide to use. OR: Physical models and tests.

-       A case study presentation (PowerPoint?) of all our work we’ve done.

-       (All our research and concept developments)

-       A final exhibition proposal

APART FORM THE DIGITAL/PHYSICAL MODEL OF THE EXHIBITION SPACE; THIS IS WHAT WE NEED TO FOCUS ON NOW:

Pre recorded footage: A montage of the interaction in front of the green screen followed by the same footage in front of the keyed background.

-       First: Get together some footage of places we’re going to use for the backgrounds when they’re projected. Once we have done this we will have a solid idea of the type of work we need to do around the green screen footage.

 Make some green covered objects to use as interaction within the space.

-       Film some reactions in front of the green screen (interacting with objects?)

-       Take a professional photo inside the container to use as the frame to place over the projected footage

-       Edit together a montage of everyone we managed to have interacting in the green screen space to show accompanied with the models and mock ups of the exhibition.
