1-1 TUTORIAL

A really useful tutorial today and some real pointers as well as confirmation of areas to work on moving forward. I had asked Emily and Kimberley for ideas of artists or theorists in the following areas. I am finding my research is becoming overwhelming as not only am i researching and reading about lots of different strands to my work. This is how I seem to work best lots of different areas and strands all all being pulled together. My concern has also been that I do not delve deep enough into a few central areas though and this had been flagged up in other modules. So the plan is to keep doing this but be more specific in the areas that I feel really apply to my work and go into more investigation, depth and detail in these.

The areas I have been investigating are obviously global warming but also artists especially those with environmental undertones, filmmakers and their work both fiction and factual. I have also looked at animators, online art and virals, installation artists, scriptwriting narrative theory and structure, scriptwriting, multi strand storytelling, hoaxes and puzzles as well as prop making and mise-en-scene. I need to try and work out the areas I have been using to develop my practice and ideas the most and explore and dig a little deeper and spend some time in the library to flesh these out as I head into the final stages.

To aid my own research Emily added some additional places to seek ideas and inspiration. Some of these I was aware of and had already looked into a little others were new avenues of enquiry. Those are listed below are the new areas to look at.

• Elmgreen & Dragsett: Tomorrow
• Cape farewell Projects.
• Methodologies of working with actors to create realism.
• Hoaxes.com
• The K Foundation.
• Sheffield Docfest experimental shorts and interactive works.
• Books: Cate Elves: Installation Art. Expanded Cinema. Chris Meigh Andrews: On Video Art
• Olafur Eliasson

Others things mentioned were the following.

• Possible re-shoots for TV News piece of installation.
• Stylistic considerations for other documentary/film aspect of the installation.
• Consider and work on all of the aspects of the installation and how they will work together.
• Performance, presentation cabinet of artefacts, TV, Film, web and on-line elements
