Audio/Visual Identities Idea







These three photos are just an idea for the kind of shots and angles I would use for the "Lies" video. I think the angles work well, considering the tight space in the bathroom and the possitioning of the video camera will be quite difficult.
In the first photo, I would be inside the shower cubical 'flipping out' and singing along to the song. This is the same with the 3rd photo. The water would gradually turn on and soak me, whilst i'm wearing all my clothes.
The 2nd photo shows just the shower head. The idea is that there will be a close up of the shower head and the water coming out in slow motion, and then cutting to shot 3 where i'll slowly be getting wet, in time with the music also.
For reference, the song is available to hear here:

Identity Problems!


Recently, I've found it fairly difficult to understand who I am in terms of identity. I read a bit on Wikipedia about self-assessment and that if you say "I am lazy", this is self-assessment. Basicly, you're saying that you're lazy, where as if you said "I am tired" it's more of a self-concept.

I think one of the hardest things is discovering who you are in terms of yourself. What do you like to do, what is it that makes you you, why do you do certain things, what makes you do those things and what's your reason for doing it that way. These things I get very confused about, I simply can't get my head around them to a certain extent.

Therefore, I feel as if this, in a way, is a self-assessment and the result is that I get confused about more metaphorical or non-literal issues. So I want to reflect this through my work.

My first idea for an audio/visual aspect is to make a music video of my self to the song "Lies" by McFly. I was thinking of reflecting it to the world of advertising (an area im very interested and baffled by) to make it more dynamic, along side shots of me 'flipping out' with the confusion and lies that's created by advertising to a certain extent.

(I've never been good at putting my thoughts into words! ha)
