M&J - A new approach to Maps and Journeys...AGAIN. A four door installation.

The first group meeting took place the other day at the library. Diallo, Sahir and I tried to solve a problem and tried to get the concept of the £20 note into a more experimental approach, as the story to the concept was gravitating more towards a narrative. Even though that was the approach I wanted to take, I thought an experimental approach would ruin the film, and instead we decided to take a completely different approach and go with a idea that Sahir had in mind.

Here is the concept of Sahir's idea and he's inspiration;

In another group meeting that took place today. We had discussed the concept and how we could present the sound piece. After a brainstormed discussion we had come up with the idea to present the sound piece a an installation.

we will incorporate the idea of journeying through different climates and environments through the use of sound. This will give the audience an immersive experience in which they will imagine and interpret which environment they are hearing.

The installation piece will include a small, boxed room which has four doors on four walls and four speakers inside the room. Once a door is opened, this will trigger the sound of a location (Snowy Mountain, Outdoor field, Volcano and City environment), and each door will be assigned a specific environment with its matching sound piece. In addition, a specific coloured light will shine whilst the sound is playing, reflecting on the different environments etc, snowy mountain will incorporate a cool, blue colour. This will allow the audience a sense of interactivity, as they have to open each door and figure out what location is behind it.

Here is the four different environments and a rough detail of the sounds we will be capturing.
