Final Presentation

My Final presentation was today. My installation was in meeting room 1 upstairs in the nexus center in CIT. I chose this room because it was spacious and airy. I booked the room last week so it was just a matter of setting it all up. I am very happy with the final setup and I'm happy with the final result. The piece looks best when it is installed properly in its environment.

New Shots

Over the last few days I've been capturing more footage for the piece. I used a HD camera this time which produced a far higher quality shot. I'm also finishing the monologue which will reinforce the piece.

Monologue

Today I'm working on the monologue for my piece. This will be the audio representation of technology as it vents at the viewer. The idea is that the audio will reinforce the visuals of the piece. The monologue is vitriolic and cynical in tone with sharp and almost insulting language being used. This is of course intentional. I want to evoke a reaction in the user, an impression which will cause an impact.

Installation

Having settled on the final content for my piece I now have to think of the installation of the piece. How do I want the audience to relate to the piece? How do I want them to be positioned in relation to the piece? These are all very important questions which I now have to answer in order to properly finalize my piece.

Footage Captue and Final Idea

I've just finished capturing the content I need for the next stage of my piece. Since last week I have returned to my original idea of using just a single screen. I have chosen this because I believe that it is more focused and direct as opposed to spreading the content over multiple screens. I think that by utilizing a single screen/display I am maintaining a greater emphasis in the delivery of the piece.
I am also returning to my original idea of using a voice over which would represent the computer talking to the viewer. This monologue would serve to punctuate the video content. The whole point of the piece is to show -in an experimental way - how computers have passed us out. I believe that this way is the best that I have found and it is also time for me to settle on exactly what I have to do in time for the final submission.
