EXPERIMENTAL FILM - FILM DEVELOPMENT

In the process of filming on day 1, we wanted to try and film the reflection of different websites through someones eyes, using the reflection of the light from the screen to detect what site they were on. We set the room up in darkness, so the only light source was from the TV, to try and capture the reflection at its best. However, this wasn't working as well as we had hoped, and it was hard to recognise the different websites from the reflection in people's eyes. We wanted to still execute this idea but weren't sure how so we started discussing and thinking of other ways. Thankfully Danielle has a projector that we can plug in to a computer so we can project social media, messages, google searches etc onto the persons face so we can get the look we want. We also thought that because we were projecting the websites onto the persons face, that it could be a metaphor for the internal monologue we have, and projecting on the head could symbolise whats going on in our minds, a visual into our thought process. We wanted to hit home that the internet is now literally embedded in our heads and feel this would be a good way to display this. We came up with a list of things we wanted to project over our faces, and here are some of the results:

1. Project social media platforms
2. Search bar on forehead
3. Play glitching videos over persons face
4. Overlay emojis onto persons face
5. Overlay Eviebot onto persons face
6. Screen chat room conversations over persons face
7. Show scrolling down pages online over the persons face
8. Show the search bar for ways to get help
9. Display the dark net
10. Display archive footage

Error

With the projector we experimented with using emojis, search engines and error messages to see what the best results would be. Displayed above are some of our best results. After doing this trial of what works with the projector we feel confident that for tomorrows filming day we can get all the filming we want. Some things we tried didn't quite work, but we found a way around them. Like with the search engine we decided to try out google, but it didn't work with lining up on the persons face; So, we decided to use Ask Jeeves, and got the results we wanted.  I look forward to developing this idea even more into one cool film.

I hope you enjoy. Thank you.
