Week 2-3 ctd...

Week 2-3 ctd... I look a little more at creating dark, atmoshere to trigger emotional responses. Im looking particularly at fear, tension, decaeption and eerie. what makes a space scary? who is in it? what colours create it? how big or small is it? how important is light? I looked to two music videos: Playing GOd- by Paramore

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDy2wCQYSrU I really like this because the theme is guilt and deception. The bright colors and sepia old style filter is ironic. In the video it shows guilt, through the tension in the main character and all the religious iconography displayed in her car. there are effeminate things like flowers and delicate tea sets.When she invites her friends for tea it's revealed through flashback, she has kidnapped her bandmates. We see a strong element of theatre by the red curtains. She is trying to cover her paranoia and guilt. Is this what makes it tense?? Lithium - by Evanescence

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJGpsL_XYQI in this video we see the singer i9n her own dark, winter wonderland. there is snow, its dark she is alone and there is a gothic twist to the world she is in. We feel the cold through the color and the weather and there is submersion in the little dark pool. In the start we are shown the singer playing the piano in a dark niche created by trees formed in to an archway. LIghting above water is the same as below. THis is more work I came up with as a result. The work below is scary, dark and unnerving. Work 1 and 2 take heavy influence from the videos from above. 1

Image one is a woman hiding or covering by this vine-like layering. She can see you but you cant see her fully. this goes back to my point from week 1. I wished there could be a way to be hidden but still be able to see what goes on around you. 2

Image two is destructive art i drew a face onto wallpaper using pencil and charcoal and tore all around the edges then cindered the edges with a lighter. 3

This image shows deception and terror. its having a monstrous or having to look at thing twice sometimes 4

i took influence from one of my favourite series Supernatural. The research they do into the myths the show is incredible. here i've taken from theIR inspiration of lampraids. theY studied lampraids in order to create their Changeling.
