Mindmap of ideas for your installation Create a mindmap showing ideas of how you might install your video. Define what type(s) of visuals you will use. (Eg. video cameras, still cameras, hand crafted artwork, film, animation, digital technologies)

My

installation


Past and current video installation practice From your research into video installation, give two examples that you think influence your work / ideas in some way. One should be a past practitioner, the other should be contemporary. Past Practitioner

Name :Lumiere brothers

Biography The Lumière brothers, Auguste Marie Louis Nicolas (19 October 1862, France – 10 April 1954) and Louis (5 October 1864, France – 6 June 1948), were among the first filmmakers in history. They patented an improved cinematograph, which in contrast to Thomas Edison's kinetoscope allowed simultaneous viewing by multiple parties.

Images

Notes on their installation They invented the cinematograph which was the first machine to successfully project images.


How is it similar to your ideas? This is simuair to the installation of using a projector for the final installation of work. Using a projector would allow me to project peoples work on a big scale onto walls.


Contemporary Practitioner

Name: Douglas Gordon

Biography

Much of Gordon's work is seen as being about memory and uses repetition in various forms. He uses material from the public realm and also creates performance-based videos. His work often overturns traditional uses of video by playing with time elements and employing multiple monitors.

Monster, 1996-7, color photograph by Douglas Gordon, Private

ownership- Michael Hue Williams

Gordon has often reused older film footage in his photographs and videos. One of his best-known art works is 24 Hour Psycho (1993) which slows down Alfred Hitchcock's film Psycho so that it lasts twenty four hours.

Images

Notes on their installation Uses objects to provide context to the work.

How is it similar to your ideas? I would use objects related to each piece and place them around the laptop which is showing the work to accopany them. For example a packet of skitles on the laptop whilst a video about skitles is being played.


Installation / set sketches Draw a series of thumbnail sketches showing ideas for your installation. Add labels to your diagrams to identify equipment, where the image will be seen, where the audience will stand etc.


Sound design

What sound will your FMP / Productions have? The only sound present will be the sound from the prodcutions, however these sounds will be hidden by headphones.

Will you use headphones or speakers for this sound? We will be using head phones.

Why? This will reduce sound pollution from other videos around the exabition.

Lighting design What lighting will you have in your installation? Consider health and safety. We will not be adding any ligthing to the installtion as the exabition location has preexisting lighting.

Sketch out your lighting plans for the installation.


Projection vs screen

Will you project your video or play it on a screen? Play it on a screen

If you are using a screen, will you use a single screen, or multiple screens?

Single

Why?

Saves space and is will made the adverts

more detailed as the video wont be

stretched to bit a wider screen. The area

is also full of light, this means that the

video wont be soid colours and instead

will be faded.

If you are projecting… what will you project ONTO? (ie fabric, screen, materials etc)

How will that change how your audience READS your animation?

It wont because I believe this

would complicate the advert as

well as change the way in which

the auience preseves the advert

into something which the creator

did not want them to see it as.


Technological convergence

What is technological convergence? technological convergence is the evolution of a piece of technology,which has the same skill set as the previous evolution however combines mulitiple other technologies to do other tasks. An example of this is the iPhone, as it can play music, make calls and play videos.

Will you be using this in your installation? No

Explain your answer. I wont as I am using a single device to show the adverts.

Installation plans From the ideas in your mindmap, create a more definite proposal for how you will install your video. Diagram of final plan: Add labels to clearly identify your diagram

List the equipment you will need: Laptop Charger Headphones Headphone splitter


How have the following influenced your ideas?

□ work of the artists you have researched Douglas Gordons work has highlighted the importance of providing context through props.

□ venue and facilites The location is very busy as it is located in the middle of town, this means that our exabition should be smaller so that people arent squished together when trying to view other pieces of work.

□ lighting The venue is very open and is full of light this change the idea of usign a projector for a more suitable laptop so that the videos arent affected.

□ sound It is a busy area so there will be a lot of nocie, knowing this made us decided that it would be best to use head phones instead of speakers.

□ screens / projectors As the ligthing is so good, the use of a projector would be uneffective in showing the videos as the light would change the contrast in the video.

□ speakers / headphones

It is a busy area so there will be a lot of nocie, knowing this made us decided that it would be best to use head phones instead of speakers.
