Inspirational Experimental Pieces

Orgy- Blue monday (Original music video)

My attention is immediately drawn to the effective combination of music and dark, abstract imagery in this piece. It is incredibly powerful in terms of dictating the mood of the viewer as in the merging of imagery sound it manages to synchronise the rise and fall of emotions on both counts. This makes it a particular point of interest as regards our group project as the sadistic, rhythmic feel to piece is extremely similar to that of our intended outcome. Using this video as a starting point we where able to progress our piece by attempting to recreate the innovative process which went into producing this film.

Chucky

A key theme of our piece is the fear of inanimate objects something which links it closely to chuck. We felt that most effective way to display the fears within the darker side of the protagonists psyche would be to portray at the danger within the unknown. The personification gives it an other worldly feel, alienating the audience thus creating a greater sense of unease. All of these points are things our piece shares with Chucky, Where the anthropomorphism of a child's toy creates a greater sense of dread than any serial killer imaginable.
