I have been looking into the idea of projections as an ulterior option to filming on the set of an old building due to practical issues and the trouble that has arouse from trying to find an appropriate location. I thought that because of the demographic of our band 'Bloc Party' and the aggressive/ scary tone to the song 'Ares' we should create a spooky mood to our video. I came up with the idea of projections and have made progress on this. Originally I thought of taking photos of various destinations, such as Hellingly Hospital and the abandoned warehouses in Lewes (Places we were initially hoping to film)and making acetate prints of the images, then, using the copies we could project them onto a white sheet during the filming of our video as to incorporate the same effects we wanted to have to start with.
White Night
On Saturday the 25Th of October I went to the 'White Night' celebrations where I saw some examples of projections on to buildings which I think looked particularly effective, in the following post I have put some short clips I took on my phone of the event which may be useful to our video. I asked the person who made the video how they designed it and they told me that they combined all the images on to a disk then edited them together so they processed at fast speeds and that this way of creating the slide show was a more reliable and time effective process then the filming of the exchanges of the acetates.
