Projection
After working with the images and over lapping those to create this double layer look. This idea has then leaded me on to wanting to work again with video but maybe playing the video so I am facing myself. The videos will be played in sync one video will be of me removing my makeup and one will be of me taking it off I want to play them in a loop or even play them backwards so eventually the two videos will be at the same point which will be me without my makeup on. The videos will be two full body videos of me, and I will use a projector to make them life size. After looking back at my dissertation I knew how I wanted to present my work to the audience.
In the studio’s today I got hold of a projector and played around with some ideas that I had thought about to see if they would work or not and how they would look. I decided to use the dark space to see how the atmosphere would be like when someone walked into the room. I played my video to see how that would look and then I projected some images to see how they looked on a big screen. I also played with where the projector was so I could make a divide using the walls so it makes it look as if I am looking at myself.
I think it worked well, I really like the fact that it was bigger than real life it made the piece seem more powerful and I liked how over powering it was. I think if I did use this idea for my final degree that I would have to use two projectors so I didn’t get this slope in the images. The room being black was also powerful you couldn’t work out where in the room you where and how far away you was from the Image. It was hard to take a clear image in the room but I took some to see and reflect on how it looked and how it would work.
