Telematic Performance

For the first coursework project "Telematic Performance" I worked alongside a group of people to produce a transition from one state to another.
Although the brief was intended to be met without the use of technology, my group and I found it necessary that our message be delivered via a flash animation.

Our performance was about Stereotypes and how they can be warped and moulded to suit ones needs. We transitioned a set of stereotypes by merging them together to create new ones.

Using a combination of the stereotypical lifestyles we created new outlandish personalities.

We then combined all of these new stereotypes into one to produce an outcome. It was derived that from the multitude of combined stereotypes, aspects of the "average" everyman showed through.

We put forward that everyone has a bit of each of the stereotypes in them at any one time and no man can be segregated by particular stereotypes.

Interventions Update

Characters:

Serge: Cybernetics millionaire and military contractor reduced to a pauper. The man behind the mask. Manic depressive. One time implant junkie. Disillusioned. Horrific injuries caused whilst failing a suicide attempt with a shotgun meant that he had to craft himself a new face with his own technology.

[Costume: Blank mask with head scarf. Old Ex-military jacket.]

Jack Keenan:

Our lead in the tale. The Protégé to Serge. He has begun to follow in his masters footsteps in an attempt to better himself. Serge dissuades him to go further but he continues. When a brain implant goes wrong he begins to pick up radio signals that drive him insane. In a vain attempt to return to his former self he tears out his implants with his bare hands.

[Costume: Ex-military Parka, Jeans, Black T shirt]

The music for the backing track has changed again. As a suggestion from one of my actors i listened to Timelessness by Fear Factory and it captured the mood perfectly. It is darker and more emotional than the previous Song and although it has vocals they add to the atmosphere of the piece.

Back to work Moron!

I have found the perfect song for my Interventions project. It is the song used on the credits to the popular T.V series Cold Case. I believe that it would be perfect for a "Movie Trailer" It captures the mood and emotion of what I am trying to express, it starts slowly and breaks into a wonderful build up during the chorus, exactly what a good trailer needs to set the scene and then pile on the tension to it's climax!

The title of the track is "Nara" and it was performed by E.S.Posthumus.

Also in the running for the title soundtrack are Pompeii by E.S.Posthumus and Lonely Soul by Unkle Ft. Richard Ashcroft.

I have been storyboarding and scriptwriting over the Easter break, these will be posted soon along with notes on intended after effects etc. Filming should commence shortly.

I have also been considering names for my fictional movie and i have a few working titles.
