SCREENS & VISUALS
I am planning to use 3 large screens for the final piece. However I still need to look into the technical aspects of getting and using 3 projectors, run trials and booking the space. So for this screening I will be using 3 laptops in a mini staging of the piece which will give a feel of what I am trying to achieve. These will have to be triggered manually so this is a technical issue that will have to be resolved in being able to synch up the three screens. I want to try and give an idea of the interplay between the screens and immerse the audience in the three screens and interacting with them. However this goes it will be an improvement on the one screen demo of last time which.
AUDIO
For the sound I will be using the speakers on the laptops for now and the sound generally only works when the subject on that screen is talking. This again will hopefully make the audience have to look around at which screen is active and interesting for them not only visually but aurally too. for the final piece each screen will have a speaker for its audio and the volume level will be higher.
PRESENTATION
The eventual presentation will be done in a dark space with simply the three screens and a speaker set up. For the presentation for this test though as I mentioned I will be using three lap tops. The positioning of these is going to be one central and the other two as 30 degree angles to this. I have trialled this with some students at my college and whilst they liked the idea of the being surrounded by the screens they felt the piece worked best with the three screens in front of them the two on the end slightly angled. I am still unsure if this is the best way to screen the work and possibly a test with the screens surrounding the audience at my critique could be attempted too.
My thoughts and areas I want to be noticed and have concerns about for my preferred reading are discussed bellow. and possible ways forward from my work following the critique tomorrow are listed underneath.
- Music or no music?
- The boys own thoughts look different or the same as the rest?
- Does it work having just the boys and no-one else?
- Thoughts on the lip-synch (ADR) of the other contributors.
- Do the three screens and moving sound work?
- Does having the boys on screen simply being work?
- Clothing the boys in response to the voices they are?
- Is the message clear? What do you feel it is all about?
- Editing transitions. Cut to black, dissolve, fade to black?
- What worked best and you would like to see more of?
- Does there screen set up work?
- Try different screen set ups. A more immersive 360 degree set up so screens are behind and audience have to respond to the sound.
