Installation Sessions: Student Projections

Here are a few projections I very much enjoyed from the projected session that other students displayed. I found this very helpful and engaging discussing ideas and how we could develop them. They also gave my ideas for the near future I may like to explore.

Bethan Thomas

I worked with Beth during our group workshops and saw the progression of this projection. I loved the idea and found it to be very effective. I loved that she created a realistic atmosphere in the space, and I found myself slightly mesmerized by the experience. This had sound effects to the video and I found it would have worked with the same sound effects from the videos taken to add to the effect.

Elisha Jones

This was Elisha's projection that gave me a religious impression to begin with. As you can see in the top image, seeing these birthday candles on a bigger scale, against a plinth and framed within it reminded me of a cathedral space. It was then changed into smaller scale to show the difference and importance of scale when working with projections, and even when working with prints. It instantly changes the effect given.

Roxie Owen

I really enjoyed Roxie's projection, however I did prefer it without the music chosen. I felt the music overpowered the video and atmosphere it can give, and I was concentrating more on the music than the video. But without the music, I was able to watch this video without distractions and had the sound effects from outside of the room, of the cars on the main road. This accidentally added to the video and made the experience more realistic. I also loved the setup, making the projection look like the windscreen of the car. This looked even more realistic when sitting closer to the projection.

Megan Williams

Megan's projection had this image as a constant throughout, beginning with slowly coming to focus, then going back out of focus at the end. It had a very personal song attached to it that reminded her of her grandmother. I liked the idea a lot, and found it very similar to a daydream. When you remember a face and place and time of a memory, and it slowly fades in and out of focus with the noises attached.
