Diary
Lens Based Media
The second rotation is Lens Based Media; I can do anything from photography, through to film. I started out with a brain storm for all the ideas I had which included documentation, storyboards, anything that I could link to photography/film. After a bit of thought I decided to do a storyboard/timeline which over the series of the photos would decay or evolve into a different environment. I chose to use a daily diary of sorts, my daily diary; a storyboard of me waking up, getting ready, going to uni and falling asleep. But then I hit a bit of a barrier of how to decay the timeline, so I decided to make it a dream within a dream, a continuing loop of dreams that never ends; the decay will the characters will to continue, that he will never ‘wake up’, he will become more and more distant from finding the real world and will either accept his fate, or give up. For this loop to happen, I had the character fall asleep while working, which he would then wake up in bed to start the loop over again.
I have only made three of the millions of the cycle; these three are at different points of the story. The first line is towards the beginning where he is starting to realise what’s happening. The second line is towards the middle where he’s deciding what will become of him and weather he should continue or stop. The third line is between the middle and the end, he’s stuck between what he should choose, but because he still cycles through, he gets further and further from reality and is slowing running out of time………this is the third option he can chose to never decide, to see if he escapes in the end.
