I have started considering how I would like my animation to be showcased at the degree show. I wanted to keep the style of the narrative and incorporate the theme in the display. At the exhibition location there is a dungeon room which is what has inspired my presentation. The image on the left depicts how I visualize the rooms appearance. I would like to have one wall as the screen for my animation and then the ceiling and each of the free walls will be covered in posts and comments from the cyber-bullies. The will then follow on with the psychological theme of the project and in turn it will reflect the inner turmoil faced by the main character. The dungeon room will mirror the dungeon of the girls mind. It will show the power such comments have on a persons life and the way they stick in the mind. When watching my animation the viewers will be able to understand how daunting these comments are because they are surrounded by them. It also reflects how even if there have been some good things going on in your life it is in our nature to focus on the negative parts. Therefore a nasty comment can do a lot more damage than a nice comment can good.
The installation of my project is therefore based around enriching the content and effect of the narrative but it also enhances the viewers experience. With this in mind I have also had another idea for the way in which my project will be exhibited, a tree. I recently attended a wedding which inspired me with the idea of placing a fake tree in the room which displays my animation. At the wedding guests were encouraged to leave messages to the couple about anything to do with them or the day. My tree will be for the viewers to leave their comments and posts, helping the viewers to engage with the project. The comments can be on the project, on the subject of cyber bullying or just how that person is feeling at that time.
If my project can ideally be showcased in this way then I believe it will generate an enthusiastic response from the viewers.It will make my project so much more interesting and exciting.
