CREATIVE MEDIA PRACTICE: Project Development

With the narrative already in place, just with some minor adjustments and tweaks, I decided that my next point of call would be to find some new and varied inspiration for my project.

One of the initial videos I found was Christopher Bingham's (aka slomozovo) 'B.R.O.X.' - an unfinished project he released some point last year.

 This grabbed my attention immediately as it was exactly what I wanted to create. This idea of using annotations he created a small world for his viewers to interact with. This reminded me very much of PC Games, such as the Monkey Island series of games in which viewers would point and click around a world finding things to interact with to find clues and information on how to progress.

 

 

With this in mind I started to adapt the script. I envisaged there being two 'main' screens of this video in being the Living Room and Kitchen in which both these rooms the viewer could click on various objects or people to gather clues. I also created a 'web' in a notebook of how I would envisage linking the videos together.

 

AN EXAMPLE OF A 'MAP'

 

I had to make sure that each video had a way of linking back to one of the main screens and also this map made it easier for programming the annotations when it came to uploading them.

 

The filming took a good part of a day with me directing the shoot with someone on hand to take camera duties if I needed help. Editting and uploading the video was also undertaken by me entirally.
