hi all
great to see your progress today, let's move into physical models of your ideas and media executions within and around it (it being your graduation stage)
key points to address below:
— STATEMENT / CLAIM:
— what is your narrative about? how would you describe it with a few words?
write a paragraph (or two) that illustrates what the event proposes and how it intends to accomplish it, be thorough.
—MAQUETTE / MEDIA EXECUTIONS (VARIATIONS): STORYBOARD THE ENTIRE PROCESS IN MEDIA & SPACE
— map and visualize (comp up) every stage of the process: the before, during and after graduation. Execute variations for each stage (for example: if you want to light the bridge, then is it a single colour that moves or a series of colours that alter between themselves? show us both iterations. The more studies you make the clearer it will become.
Document / photograph each stage of the process in this manner: POV of graduate / POV of audience.
— we should be able to get an idea of what you have in mind by looking at your comps, aka: storyboards
— a MAQUETTE is a physical model of your structure / intervention: these are very helpful for experimentation with lights, projections, scale, flow, materials etc.
(suggestion: play with your model; experiment with diff light situations, materials etc and document (photograph) each variation; it will open up new possibilities that maybe are not coming to mind yet. Use scale figures—and densities of figures—to represent the graduates / audience and how they will inhabit / traverse through your spatial narrative.
—MEDIA EXECUTIONS: if you plan on using video for example, bring in a rough cut of what that video is about: content, format, aesthetics. we will review these separately and on the maquette itself, to scale, so comp these up on your model (can be a simple glued paper to scale or we can use an actual projector & then take pictures)
— bring material samples
any questions welcome
look forward to your work next class!
have a great evening
carolina
