I decided to map out the questions that i have been having with my work. I was unsure of what i actually wanted as my final piece or as things to show as an outcome. The main titles were: photograph, film, sculpture and book/zine/catalogue. Each of these subtitles brought about new ideas and i was able to start thinking about how they all actually interlink with one another.
Photographs: These are still very prominent within my work. i think i could look at the camera 'focus' more. Either making everything in the photo hyper real of blurring everything. There is also the factor of adding in staged lights and fog. I am looking forward to trying these things out. Again, i need to start thinking about size. Printing/ showing the photographs large helps to show the viewer that these things ARE life sized. Nevertheless, i also feel that printing them extremely small could be interesting as everything will be so small it will be hard to determine whether things in the image are right or not. Everything SHOULD look right in the frame.
Film: I have been thinking of what if i was to do a time lapse film of it. Would that make it again seem more real. If you can see the sun rising, shadows moving and nighttime surely this will create a lot of deception. There is also the idea of using a cctv camera as you are reminded that someone is following, or the murderer is still watching the place where the person has been killed/ will be killed.
Sculpture: I don't think i want the sculptures to be shown. Nevertheless, i was thinking of the placement of/ for it. What if the sculpture was to be placed inside a box and you can only view the sculpture through small eye holes, as though you are the stalker watching the scene. I can also almost imagine lighting being in these boxes and sound to go along with it.
Book/ Catalogue: Here i was thinking how i could organise all of my documents. I believe that the little mock up book which i made would be an interesting direction to take it in. On the one side have the police file bag and on the other have a little bit of writing from the stalker, either about that object, where it was found or how they are feeling at that point.
I believe that i could place the book/ catalogue with any of the other things. But i need to decided which of the other things i want to place with it. Hmmm decisions decisions...
