This was the final video I used for my projection. I used old footage that I had shot previously for a project, but was not used, which I thought I could use for my projection and well as shooting new scenes. As I wanted to capture the outdoors, and include memory/dreams, I produced a kind of story to project which flashed back and forth to images of nature and back again. I used the idea of 'flashbacks' to project my memory/dream theme which I very much wanted to capture.
As I was also thinking of my previous idea of projecting on the black blinds, making it look like a home movie, I thought this had the same effect on material on a 'washing line'. It reminded me of this because you had to project on walls or fabric to see the home video. Obviously you wouldn't project outdoors, however this just gave the illusion of a family setting.
During the project, it was suggested to view the installation from behind, where the fabric was much more layered and created more of a dream look by making the image more distorted and created a sort of film over the projection. I really did prefer this effect much more. It was also suggested that adding small detailing like hanging shocks or a t-shirt on the line would make it more of a family experience and would refer to this more, which I thought was a great suggestion, and would definitely add to the projection if I was to further the project.
I really enjoyed these sessions as I have never worked with projection installation before this. It was a new experience which I found very helpful and gave me ideas to work on in the future.
