Throughout the past week I've been racking my brain for ideas to do with 'The Uncanny' , at first I was thinking about my previous experiences with the feeling of the uncanny but these experiences didn't have the criteria need for the project brief such as a suitable way to incorporate a green screen.
I then began to think of things I am familiar with, books I've read and things that inspire as I feel I always find my most creative ideas through these things. I then began to think about art. I'm interested in all kinds of art, paintings, audio visuals, sculptures and so forth.
I then began to think about the set design, what we would need to make a realistic set, the measurements, how long it would take to build and the budget. Bearing all of this in mind with my initial thought of having an idea to do with art I began to get a grasp of what I wanted to do; An artists creative block.
The Set:
My set shall be in the design of an artist studio, the walls shall be bright filled with scraps of paper filled with drawings and paintings clinging off parts of the walls. There shall be an easel in the center of the room which shall feature the green screen . To the left of the set there shall be a pop up wooden table covered in paint with paint brushes in jars and paints arrayed over the table which has a wooden stool under neath. To the right of the set there shall be a sculpture.
The Uncanny:
To get a sense of The Uncanny I have decided to bring a painting to life. The artist shall be suffering from a creative block in which he/she paints a strange looking creature out of frustration. After painting the creature the artist shall throw down the brushes and sit on the stool, they shall stare at the painting clearly looking frustrated. Using a green screen covering a canvas which shall be situated on the easel I shall bring the painting to life to which the artist is left feeling stunned, scared and uncomfortable. The painting shall then turn back to a still image leaving the artist confused, the artist shall walk over to the painting and touch it to find the image is in fact still but he will never forget what he saw.
