FINALISED STORY BOARD

Sketches and brainstorms

I was sketching a few ideas and just brainstorming in general and came up with these.

I wanted some kind of colour visual as to what I would like each character to look like. I was also going to draw the outfits but I'm not 100% sure what I can imagine yet & it depends on what resources we have available.

Below are some more detailed sketches about the 2 characters I have come up with so far (mainly their appearance and what actions I would like them to do).

To do list & idea development

After a tutorial with Peter we are now considering a kind of stop motion approach, using images of the person surrounded by props/wearing certain outfits etc, rather than moving image.
I really like this idea. I'm imagining a full body image surrounded by props, moving ever so slightly to give a glitchy effect. I think this will look amazing on the shimmery material!! as if the person is glowing. For the child like personality I think we should surround them with soft animals/toys etc. i think with the glitchy effect & the soft toys/props/make up etc this will give quite a chilling image.

Now we are looking more for a model than an actor- possibly Gaya - female.
We are coming up with a lot of ideas recently but I am pretty confident in this one - especially the use of props.

To do:
MONDAY

• Buy fishing wire/ any wire we can use to suspend fabric
• More test shots - take pictures of each other with props 
• Try new fabric

WEDNESDAY

• Got a room booked out for the morning
• Project images we have taken
• Decide on the scale of the construction
• Build a test model

22/11/16 Potential materials

I've been thinking about potential materials, we're going to need a semi transparent material to project on. I'm not 100% sure what colour yet, but I like the idea of black, white or grey, something plain.

I also drew up a rough sketch of what I think our construction should look like;

9/11/16 Idea summary (so far)

• Started my visual proposal 
• Did more research on North Korea & their government
• Looked at existing installation pieces
• Looked at vegan protests - branding themselves to show animal cruelty http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3807626/Vegan-protesters-BRANDED-red-hot-irons-extreme-demonstration-demanding-end-meat-industry-France.html

• Credit card numbers/ Are we controlled by our money?
• Does money = identity?
• Do we buy our identity?
• JUSTIN BOWER - lots of inspo

Idea Summary:

I want to create an art installation piece, asking the question 'Does the government control our identities?'. I would like to use 3 screens or maybe old computer monitors, showing 3 people that have been stripped of their identity and replaced with numbers, as if they are just numbers in the system. I would like their expressions to be blank and the colours very bland. I'm thinking of projecting codes/numbers across their faces, or in the background, using layers. 

Another idea I've had is to start with people black balaclavas on, with serial numbers on (see Black Mirror- White Bear). I want the people to rip the balaclavas off and reveal their true 'identities', with very angry and powerful expressions. As if they were about to revolt. 

I want my piece to be simple but powerful, portraying a very strong message. I think my piece belongs in expanded media because I want to use mixed media to create it. I.e Still images, TV/computer monitors & projectors.

I want to create a piece that shows people taking back their identities (revolution).
