- How does climate change appear from a non-human perspective.
- Through the use of immersive eco cinema through sound, changes in saturation and different extended and edited shots.
- We aim to cover the destructive noise pollution and litter in largely populated areas of the city and how this affects smaller non-human species.
- We aim to form our work into a video which could be displayed in the media portal for the show case on a screen.
Above are the answers to brainstorming questions found on the discussion space for class. When discussing how my groups previous works could influence our final project we looked at ways we could incorporate our usual bright /cheery and peaceful works into the film whilst also combating those vibes with dark/spooky and unsettling vibes.
The brainstorming activity on butchers paper in class was helpful in allowing us to pinpoint a couple key topics we wanted to touch on and create a type of research question. We looked at the impact humans have on the world around them, specifically looking at bugs and other animals that must learn to adapt to the environments that humans destroy.
By the end of our brainstorm,ing my group had a fairly solid idea of the direction we hoped to take our assignment in.
A reading we found we were inspired by was Anna Tsing’s Arts of Noticing. The ideas in this text such as the question “What emerges in damaged landscapes, beyond the call of industrial promise and ruin?”(Tsing 2015) This quote really prompted the direction we aimed to take our final project in
