Brief 3 Proposal

Title

Time machine? Travel machine to the past?

Subject/Topic

This project is about documenting and editing childhood home memories, to create a video with experiences of homes by using lights and sounds in narrative or experiential style. I am trying to create a real and special kind of feeling for audience, bring them back to childhood home memories.

Research

-          Lighting techniques in film (early research)

-          Narrative films/videos (skills and techniques)

-          Artists’ works about conveying  feelings of nostalgia

-          Different funnies styles

Relationship to previous works

Looking through my first and second brief’s work, I am interested in putting my own experiences in to the works, exploring and documenting home by using lights and sounds, and create a kind of immersive feeling.

Process

1.       Write down and select childhood home memories of nostalgia

2.       Write down and select one anecdote within childhood home, and develop a main concept.

3.       Story board ideas by sketch, drawing, photos etc. (maybe in funnies/ format)

4.       Maybe create a model for further concept developing, light and video setting.

5.       Start to create the video, select relevant sound pieces

6.       Video edit

7.       Blog entry and prepare for final presentation.
