documentair

1- Create a Statement or Treatment .


LSD soaked cheese is being sold by the pound at Whole foods, and it's on sale!  How did this happen? View inside evidence of humans infected- Tune in to The News coming up next.

Inside evidence: a camera filming the group of infected persons, REAL because they will have to do a project so they have a camera filming at all times. FAKE because we zoom in and have different camera angles (something a camera set up in the corner for a project couldn't do.)

This perspective takes the viewer through our thought process as well as a complete storyline with all strings attached. Overall someone is watching the news and it’s about a cheese outbreak that grew LSD, and the catch is that the tv viewer's friend just ate some.



2-Create a list of Priority Elements in the documentary
         This should include opening, context of theme, interviews, supporting information, moment of culmination and ending.

Script: From the beginning- living room, man's voice from out of shot, looking at Tv. "Honey you have to try this { new cheese}!" very enthusiastically, surprised, unknowing.

Tv turns on , News anchor talking, "And today's story.... A Special on Cheese... “


3- Make a list of video shots needed
          (will come, scanning documents)

Anchorman Scene

(theme song)
Main voice: Good evening ladies and gentlemen, tonight we will be talking about a very alarming story involving a very cheesy situation.
Coming up now, our anchorman, Jeremy Stoyze.
“Here we have our top anchorman with tonight’s story”
(theme song )
change voice-
News Anchor: “Last night, what started out to be a casual dinner for four friends, ended up turning into a psychedelic nightmare. Four young adults tragically lost their minds while eating cheese. You heard me, cheese! The cheese was bought at Slow Foods and doctors found out that it was soaked in LSD!
The amount of LSD their bodies had to intake was too much for them, and right now they are institutionalized in the Mental Hospital of York. Tune in because coming up next is exclusive first hand footage of how it all went wrong!”
~Plays home video evidence~
~FLASH BACK~

Kitchen Scene

hanging out normally in kitchen, cheese on the table

woman #1: “I’m so happy we’re getting to hang out guys, I’ve missed you all so much! Spring break was so boring without you all!”
man #1: “Yeah, I agree! I’m so excited to try this imported cheese I found at Slow Foods today. They said it was one of the best kinds they had in stock!”
woman #2: “ I brought my camera so that we can register this moment! We never hang out anymore so I figured I’d film this so we can relive our college days whenever we want to! Now, what are we waiting for? Lets try this cheese!”

eating cheese , close up of face, cheese falling out of mouth + drooling

woman #1: “Dude this is a-ma-ziiing”
man #1: “Yeah!! I told you it’d taste good! Can you cut me another piece?”
Camera angle shifts to looking down at cheese, food spitting from mouth:
woman #2: “I think this is like the best cheese I’ve ever had in my entire life. Dude, you gotta try this!!”
woman #3: “Ahhh I usually don’t eat cheese, but I’ll make an exception!”
woman #3: “WOW, this really IS good.”
All together: “mmmmmmmmmmmmm”

*Sign: (2 hours later)*

everyone slumping around chairs, original viewpoint from stationary camera
waking up, drooling and shaking…


Man: “Woooaah what happened”

everyone starting to walk around very crazy, mystified, disoriented.


Woman #2: “Wow… What’s going on?”

standing up, starting to move around

Woman #1: “where are we??”
Woman #3: “I don’t know, but it’s getting kinda cold.”
Man : “Maybe we should turn this on and it’ll generate some heat!! Then we’ll be saved!!”


turning on stove
Woman #3: “Woah! Good idea!”

All of a sudden suitemate comes out

Suitemate: “What’s going on here? Are you guys okay?
Woman #2: “Who is that?? Who’s talking to me?”
Woman #1: “I don’t know, but I seem to recognize the voice from somewhere.”
Suitemate: “Guys it’s me! Cassandra, you’re suitemate!”
Man : “Maybe it’s someone who broke into your suite or something”
Suitemate: “That’s it! I’m calling 911! (dials 911) You’re all shivering and acting weird! AND WHY IS THE STOVE ON???”

looking at camera

Suitemate: “What’s this? Why is there a camera here?? I’m turning this off.”

walks towards camera, hand covering it- off.

EXIT THRU THE GIFT SHOP

Art is still for rich people 


\\if you're an artist- you're retarded .\\



He's so self centered
 what is the amount of publicity needed? im so not into that.. but everyone else is... all about selling art if you want to BE an artist/ ?
thats so fucked up. he just went to it so fast- maybe I'm just jealous....  "his art might look just like everyone else's'"
but his art is pop culture? who is right?


 "the ultimate validation is measured in dollars and cents."
Are we supposed to not like this guy?
Every artist has to grow as an artist... a lot to take in. He did it so quickly
Is it like everyone should do art? everyone should? or really only certain people? is that subjective? or the right of life and reason? Who actually needs to be the artists? what do you have to give/communicate? something popular is not always best///// ¿ //



| 'Mockery' | 'mockery as an art form' |





fake:
the phone calls the shots of getting ready for the show// because these things were not filmed earlier// unless this is real footage? That's what I don't get- How we can tell if something is fake// are we making a totally fake documentary/?
what types of topics?
How would they get the guy to consent to a film that was kind of making fun of him?
unless they weren't.. or it's footage from somewhere else. ? does anyone know? (comment!)

who ever wants to be the artist can call it art/ art is the frame of mind/ the maker of the piece// perhaps a woodworker, makes it.. but is the same emotional level as a cabinet to them as it is their customer..? 



On a personal level, my dad works with a lot of artists such as Tracey Emin or  Ivan Navarro (installation at Madison Sq Park right now actually, the water towers). As I learn about art and become surrounded with art I find myself asking the question 'who is the artist?' The one who fabricates the piece or fabricates the idea? Think about Jeff Koons too, who has factories of artists working on his pieces for publication. Or even in the commercial world, for Fashion As Art, the designer is the one designing the piece but not aways sewing it? why are we learning to sew then? The artists who have all the money are the ones who make it big... is this true/ or is it sad..

WHERE IS THE LINE? WHO DRAWS THE LINE? WHY CANT WE SEE THE LINE?

Animation Drawing-||||||||\--


Hand drawn animation in film style:

A good explanation:


I found this project particularly difficult. Personally, just because I don't really like to draw. I draw a lot, just not in an order or a mapped out sense. I promised myself that for this project I would not change my idea. I got really bored with my idea... ((more to come))

Sound Piece: Practicing With Sound



  Noise is a term often used to refer to an unwanted sound. In science and engineering, noise is an undesirable component that obscures a wanted signal. 
     What about sound in art?

((SEQUENTIAL MOVEMENT))

SEQUENTIAL MOVEMENT


Animation. Movement. 
\


IDEAS: 
~throwing up. Draw body and stomach convulsing and then inside the body and then the puke gong everywhere. (Also, sneezing) 

~cleaning room. Objects moving around, getting cleaner. Or messier; My room getting more messy as the page gets more messy and smudged from the erasing.
