BRIEF 2: IMMERSIVE ENVIRONMENTS
PROJECT 5: LIGHTING DESIGN
As an exploration in lighting design, the living space was studied as it appeared in both natural day light, and at night. The various changes that light brought to the space was of primary focus for exploration.

Photographic experimentation occurred within the model, utilizing various materials from torches, colored paper, reflective materials, and various other objects in an effort to examine the resulting change in lighting.

imaginary State...

An imaginary state was created in video form by focusing on shadow movements, using this factor to create two very different videos, eliciting very different responses.
Based on size of shadows, both a real and a dream-like state were created.
PROJECT 6: SOUND DESIGN
Two distinct videos were created by only changing one factor: sound.
Two opposing videos were created, one more positive, with dream-like experience, the other a darker, scarier version.

This first video has birds chirping in the daylight, and experimental, whimsical sounds that take place during the night scene....
This second video utilizes the sounds of bees, and heavy rain to create a dark, scary feel...
Project 7: IMMERSIVE ENVIRONMENTS
Pictures were used to experiment with new ways of depicting. By altering the length of time an image is presented, the transitions between images, as well as sound, varying levels of immersion within an environment were depicted.
The viewer is meant to feel as if they are the individual in the film. It is a restless rainy night, and the person in bed is tossing and turning. Once the storm peaks, and thunder claps are heard, the individual gathers under their covers, scared of the storm above. The goal was to create a real sense of immersion with the viewer, so that once under the covers, you really felt like you were in there as well, scared of the storm, and hoping it would soon pass...
[Journal Notes: Timeline sketches]
Once the storm peaks, and thunders are heard, the environment quickly changes, as demonstrated with the changing pace with which images are presented, and added layers of sound. Once the storm is over, the length the photographs are presented, and the transitions between photographs drastically changes, to provide a sense of calm and restfulness.
