NEW IDEA//PROJECTION

SEGMENT C - PROJECTION

My new idea involves using a digital overhead projector connected to a computer in order to project hallucinating/confusing/abstract/distorted videos taken from YouTube onto my actress' skin. This will give her skin a new texture involving colourful shapes and patterns that will also be projected onto the white background, creating an almost camouflage effect. I have chosen to project in particular hallucination videos which will reflect how the character is feeling inside but on the outside to make it obvious to the viewer. These emotions include confusion, doubt, anger, anxiety which are all evoked when overthinking your regret.  Hallucination videos include looking at stationary objects which appear to be move, spirals, abstract shapes and optical illusions which cause natural hallucinations. The after-effects include seeing the pattern repeating in front of the eyes temporarily, transforming the surrounding environment and making objects appear everywhere. The hallucination effect will give the audience a similar feeling to what my actress is internally feeling shown through her dramatic body language. During this filming session I also aim to take photographs for my poster which include a portrait photograph of Millie posing seriously with a spiraling image over her skin.
