Initial ideas
IDEA ONE
We could create a den by putting up a black sheet with pillows underneth with the speaker.
People could enter the installation and sit in the dark, blocking out their visual senses, therefore
enhancing others.
IDEA TWO
We could set up the video instillation in the dark as it is a radio drama so it focuses on the sound.
We could put up neon lights. To create a more intermate experience we could give the
audiences head phones when they enter. There will also be a smoke machine to disoriantate the
audience.
IDEA THREE
My idea consists of using dark room with neon lights and signs. This will make the room have a sci-fi
scene. When displaying the radio drama, I will use a stop motion display, much like the visuals
from the Warcraft: Orcs series. This way it will go with the radio drama, and there will be a visual
narrative aswell as the audio.
Past and current video installation practice
Contempory Practitioner
Name: Douglas Gordon

Biography Gordon was born on the 20th September 1966. He is a Scottish artist; who won
a Turner prize and received a Premio. Known for his installations, 24 Hour
Pscho (1993) and Sidane: A 21st Century Portrait (2006)
Images
Notes on Psycho is a psychologic thriller by Alfred Hitchcock, with a running time of 109
minutes. In 1993, the video installation 24 hour psycho was created by
their
Douglas Gordon. Gordon said that I wanted to maintain the authorship of
installation Hitchcock so that when an audience would see my 24 Hour Psycho they
would think much more about Hitchcock and much less, or not at all, about
me.... The work consisted of taking the already made movie Psycho and
slowing it down to approximately 24 hours. This work had a significant impact
on Gordons early career. The images attached clearly show the layout of the
exhibition, and how there has been a use of multiple screens. The artist has
used technology in order to install Hitchcocks work, by projecting the video
onto multiple screens around room. I think this works well as the video has
been slowed down so much it may become boring after a while, but having
multiple screens around the room makes the instalment more engaging. The
videos are shown in narrative order. I think that the exhibition has worked well
as the screens are spaced out and they are in a white room, not to distract
the viewer from the instalment. The target audience for the movie Psycho
was aimed at 17-26 year olds as this age group was attracted by the nature of
the video, therefore this is reflected through the instalment through its minimal
layout with mood lighting. This also opens up the instalments target audience
because of its minimal nature. This installation has inspired my own exhibition; I
would like to use multiple screens around the room showing different scenes of
my production. The images attached clearly show the layout of the exhibition,
and how there has been a use of multiple screens.
How is it This istallation is similar to my own ideas due to the use of a projector, and
coloured reflections around the room. I believe that these elements are
similar to
effective as I makes an empty room more colourful and appeaing to the
your audience.

Past Practitioner
Name:
Lumiere Brothers
Biography Auguste Lumiere was born in 1862, while his brother Lois was two years younger.
They are well known as the first filmmakers in history. They developed the
cinematographe, a device that could, film, develop and project moving
images. This was the first of its kind and allowed for large audiences to watch
together.
Images
Notes on On the 28th December 1895, the luiere brothers creened a series of scenes
depicting everday life. This was the first commercial screening so would make it
their
the first video instillation. Their videos were shown on the cinematographe,
installation which combined a camera and projector. Most devices previously oly allowed
for individual or small groups of viewers at a time.
How is it The viewers are sat down in a cinema in a comunal way. This is something we
would like to portray in our installation
similar to
yourt
ideas?
Installation / set sketches
Idea one Idea two

Sound design
What sound will your FMP / Productions have?

As the video instillation is fro radio dramas the sound will be the focus of the instillation as there are no
visuals to accompany it.
Will you use headphones or speakers for this sound?
We will be using speakers for our instillation.
Why?
We will use speakers as it gives the audience a communal listening experience.
Lighting design
What lighting will you have in your installation? Consider health and safety.
The lighting will come from fairy lights. They will be poked through the fabric and light up the
area. There will also be glow in the dark stars stuck up which would act as small lights.
Sketch out your lighting plans for the installation.
N/A
Projection vs screen
Will you project your video or play it on a screen?
As we are doing radio drama we will not project or show our work on a screen as it is all sound.
Technological convergence
What is technological convergence?
Technological convergence is is the joining of two technological systems in one device. For
example, a mobile phone shows technological convergence as you can make calls, surf the
internet and take photos.
Will you be using this in your installation?
No
We wont be using it as our instillation is just based around sound so there is nothing else to join with.

Cast and Crew and Production roles
Director
Describe their job. An interviewer is someone who asks already scripted questions to an
interviewee. Their job is to make sure that the information they get is in enough detail. They
may ask questions that are unscripted in order to get a detailed answer. As well as
interviewing the guests, they may be the host of the show depending on the genre.
Dictionary (no date) The definition of interview, in Available at:
http://www.dictionary.com/browse/interview (Accessed: 12 October 2016).
The interviewer will work on the studio floor, as they have no control over anything
off/behind the camera. They must be in front of the camera.
The interviewer needs a variety of skills in order to be successful on camera. An interviewer

must be prepared, this is essential as it means that they know a bit about the guest and
can make them feel more comfortable. They should be able to work well under pressure,
as they may get answers to questions that they were not expecting and should be able to
deal with this.

Copyright issues
What potential copyright issues could your FMP infringe?
The potential copyright issues are the sound effects that I will be using in my production. This is
because I will be using sound effects and music used in the Star Wars movies. The rights for
these music/sound effects are held by Disney. Therefore in order to use the music/sound
effects without any copyright enfringements I will have to contact Disney beforehand.
How can you be certain that your work does not violate any copyright infringements?
In order to ensure that my production does not violate any copyright infringements I will have
to ask Disney beforehand if I am able to use their sound effects. If I am not allowed to use the
music or sound effects, I will have to use royalty free scores in order to make my production still
impactful.
