Our Idea

After watching the various different Experimental pieces and researching into it in my own time online, I felt ready enough to come together with Hannah and Natalie (my other group members) to discuss ideas. We had a brainstorm and after reading the brief we realised that our piece had to be based on either a single word, object or poem. So, we originally picked a "mirror" as the object and we had a vague idea of a girl who was living in 'two worlds' and had an 'uncertain identity' or was confused as to who she was. However, we then realised this wouldn't work as we wouldn't be focusing on the chosen object enough as the brief had said.

So, after a little more discussion we then decided to use the word "identity" or in short "I.D" which was taken from the original idea of the object of the mirror. Our idea then expanded into the idea of 'schizophrenia'. She doesn't know who she is, she doesn't know her identity. The video is about exploring, conflicting and realisation what her identity is. She clashes with her other personalities, her 'darker sides', 'her fears and pains', to in the end, realise that the fight may never end, even though she thinks it's already over.

Sound wise we haven't thought of an exact idea as to what we want to achieve. Also, it will be much easier to fit the sound effects/music to the images once its fully edited as they will appear at the correct points we need them too. On that note however we do know that we want some form of creepy/weird sound effects to contrast the shots of the 'darker' side to the character (who will be played by me may i add!).

Myself, Natalie and Hannah are all really looking forward to filming and editing our Experimental piece and I hope we achieve what we have set out to!
