Treatment

Programme:              Installation (Video)

 

 

Duration:                   1 minute depending on how much content is filmed

 

 

Format:                       Stop Motion sequence

 

 

Audience:                  Middle and Upper-class audience because they are the audience that are typically interested in art installations. The audience would also likely be old because they have more time to visit art exhibitions.

 

 

Actor/Actress:            The performer in my video must be very patient and able to sit still for long periods of time. They won’t require any acting abilities, because I will move their body between each shot.

 

 

Aim:

 

The aim of the project is to create a video installation that will represent one of the themes that were given to us. My idea is to create an installation about dreams, and use stop motion to make a person act out different exciting things in a boring location (a bed) while asleep. It’s an idea I got while watching a music video named ‘Her morning Elegance’, which uses stop motion to do the same thing as me.

 

Suggested Elements:

 

The content in the video is meant to show that anything can happen in your dreams. This is why the content in the video is slightly farfetched and interesting. It would also be very difficult for me to film as a student in real locations. The idea is to show the video as a dream, by having it projected onto the screen in the booth in a bubble leading away from a person in a bed.

 

Cost:

 

There will be certain costs of the production because I need a lot of different bed covers and sheets to show the different locations. I also need a lot of pillows to act as clouds. These might be available from the art of textiles departments in college. This would save me the cost of buying materials that I won’t use again.
