| The concept for this project stems from the information I have sorted through and collected as background and introductory information for my thesis. My thesis focus, which explores hyperreality in film and the perception of reality, requires some establishment of definitions of reality at the beginning. Since there are many forms of reality, I thought that creating an initial introduction and dialog about defining and distinguishing between the various forms of reality in the text would be vital in communicating the main ideas regarding hyperreality in current cinema more clearly. This disregards, for obvious reasons, realities such as "reality television," but makes a distinction between the realities that people oftentimes confuse such as augmented reality and virtual reality. The text that will be read as the dialog for the video has already been written, but will need to be simplified and edited down. With the advent of the new thesis structure the program is instating this year, some of this information might have to be cut out of the final thesis paper. Thus, this is a perfect opportunity to create a work that is related to my thesis but the info may not be presented in the final thesis product. It is also great introductory material to a final thesis project. | The various definitions of reality I will use as the basis for the video might offer some opportunities to experiment with style, as some ideas could be expressed with 3D more appropriately and some I could approach with using vector graphics; or even use live-action footage. I would like to create a work using mixed-media, in true postmodern fashion. The Everything is a Remix series below is a great example of the type of narrative and visual mixture of vector-based motion graphics and live-action footage I would like to create. The other videos offer interesting pace with music, and clean, colorful geometric forms which I may use as a nice style for some of the information visualizations in the video. I would like to incorporate background music as well as the voice-over narration, which serves as the structure for the pacing of the visual elements and animations in the video. |
