Unit X - Blog Key Post 1 - Research - M J Ball

Stage 1 – Research
With being a part of this unit allows people from a variety of creative paths to collide, and to collaborate and develop ideas towards the whole scope of the set project. My group and I have had discussions throughout recent weeks, and have concluded to a decision which we are basing our work around love, betrayal, and forgiveness. This is a very open subject which is easily expandable and can lead onto a wide range of paths, which can be developed and interpreted in different ways.
When we were all put together as a team, we immediately started brainstorming ideas and developed on those, which came together as a potential strong point of our image as a group. Our idea of colliding all of our specific areas of art and design into the fray can put our creative minds to the test and allow our group material, to be noticed and prolific compared to the other competitors.

By including animation in our group project can allow the audience to interact with the work, whilst connecting with the visuals upon screen. For this area of study, the group listed all of the possible films, which can be easily reflected and referable when understand what is going on in the animation upon screen. James Stewart in the film Vertigo (Director; Alfred Hitchcock, Release; 1958) allowed me to identify how I can reflect the plot of the film, towards our collaborative art and design project.  With that being said, the idea of 2D animating a downward spiral (as seen on the movie poster; aside), of someone in a similar state that James Stewart's Character was in. This could make it more effective, and also colliding that with Film-Making and Photography elements, will bring in more diverse approach to the overall finished project.
In addition to the above, by colliding the film-making and photography into the final piece will allow us to display visuals and also allow our chosen area of choosing, to be understood and connected a lot more efficiently for our audience members. Projection mapping which will allow our ideas to come to live, and blend with the on-going development of the filming material.  One of our ideas was to project different genres of music for a specific scene in the movie. The main role would be being socially interactive on their mobile phone and listening to the preferred area of music, which then could possibly bring the on-going issue of cyber-bullying on social media, which then will transpire into the animation part, and allow the special effects to be built together and allow an effective display to be witnessed.

Furthermore, an additional idea that our group may go ahead with is making a scene in the night club, which will make the love and betrayal acting side to come into play, and could possibly bring in transgender or develop the story on a gay couple for a more equality approach.
