Mindmap of ideas for your installation

Create a mindmap showing ideas of how you might install your video.
Define what type(s) of visuals you will use.
(Eg. video cameras, still cameras, hand crafted artwork, film, animation, digital technologies)

Unit 35 Installation Production Booklet

Past and current video installation practice

From your research into video installation, give two examples that you think influence your work / ideas
in some way.
One should be a past practitioner, the other should be contemporary.

Notes on their installation

Surrounds area with TVs displaying different scenarios
Uses a multitude of colours
Well lit scene
How is it similar to your ideas?

This is similar to my ideas as I want to display media via a

screen, maybe doing my idea in this naqtural setup, may
make it a lot more interesting.

Installation / set sketches

Audience is camera

Sound design
What sound will your FMP / Productions have?
The sound that I will have for my FMP, will be Classic alternative. My reasoning behind this is that this
genre is common with enforcing work and can be played in the background, without having to actually
listen to it. The most common location for listening to this genre are at Coffeeshops like Starbucks.

Will you use headphones or speakers for this sound?

For this FMP, I will play it through headphones, as to not make it a distraction for the others surrounding
me. This is the reccommended approach because it shows respect to the others which are showing
their FMP.

Why?
A further reason behind my choice of listening, is not only does it give respect to others around me: but
it allows my music to be isolated from the others. Making t clearer to hear.

Lighting design
What lighting will you have in your installation? Consider health and safety.
For my installation, I will use the light from my laptop, and surrounding interior light.

Sketch out your lighting plans for the installation.

Unit 35 Installation Production Booklet

Technological convergence
What is technological convergence?

It is the change in technology as technology progresses, the new technology can be an improvement at
the efficiency of tasks from the older generations.

Will you be using this in your installation?

I will not, as I deem it not nessessary

Explain your answer.

The explanation is as follows, I do not need to use this use convergence, because all I need to do is
display my animation and other projects. So using only one of my laptops will suit my needs just fine.
However, I would find it nessessary if my project installation style was based on a evolution theory.
