Concept Slides

Here is the slides of my initial concept, seems like this is pretty solid and this is what I will be going with for now.

visual experimentation

I got right into it and started doing some visual experimentations, these experimentations are supposed to relate to the idea of pinball machines and their visual representation of your score and also some little movies that may pop up as someone plays.

Pinball machines in the early 90's had lcds which had limited capabilities to display proper coloured pictures. This had led to some interesting visuals that were all made with only a few hundred pixels, which is nothing compared with todays lcds which have.

Response to reading

I actually found this reading by ___ really interesting, I enjoyed the 1st chapter where it talked about the language of cinema. Being a huge fan of experimental silent films of the early 1900's, I found that I could relate to what its saying about images vs words.

The next section titles Cinema Language vs Live Cinema Language talks about the difference between conventional film vs live film. It points out some facts for example that "cinema is constituted by shots and their order" while live cinema is described as being constructed by one person alone, on the spot. The reading also points out that all movies have a very similar structure (begging, middle and end).

The reading also covers Montages and the history of montages, which is relates to vjing in alto of ways.

Concept and Ideas for visual

For my visual I am thinking of using the visuals style of a pinball machine. This will go well with my concept where speedy visuals is essential.

Here is an example of how the visuals work in a pinball machine.

Concept and Ideas 1

Concept:

My concept for this project is to create a controller where even the person with the controller is unable to predict exactly what could happens.

Some of the objects I have been looking into relate to this controller are:

Dice

Playing Cards

Roulette

Casino Games

Coin Flip



In real life is there such thing as random?
