Mindmap of ideas for your installation

Create a mindmap showing ideas of how you might install your video.
Define what type(s) of visuals you will use.
(Eg. video cameras, still cameras, hand crafted artwork, film, animation, digital technologies)

Installation / set sketches

Draw a series of thumbnail sketches showing ideas for your installation. Add labels to your diagrams to
identify equipment, where the image will be seen, where the audience will stand etc.

Sound design

What sound will your Productions have?

We will be having the dialog from our multimedia work, this will involve the music and text that is involved
in each multi camera production. This is so the audience is able to hear what is being sad, and engage
with the people who are on camera.

Will you use headphones or speakers for this sound?

We will be using headphones during the production

Why?
This is because the audience is able to have a clear understanding of what the actors are saying, and
in some sense build a bond with them. Engaging them in the text is the most important aspect as
then they will know the topic of conversation and become more interested in the action.

Lighting design

What lighting will you have in your installation? Consider health and safety.The lights will based on
the floor, shining up at the wall that our work will be presented on to. This will brighten up the production
and make it look more interesting over the other installations. The health and safety issues with this is
that someone may not see the lights on the floor, and trip on them or stand on them, causing a trip or fall.
Also another issue would be that the lights would get very hot over the course of the day, which would
burn someone if they were to touch it.

Sketch out your lighting plans for the installation.

Projection vs screen
Will you project your video or play it on a screen?
This be projected onto the wall.

Why? This is because it is more

intresting for the audience, and
means that the wall print will give off
extra artistic detail for the audience to
ejoy. It also means that the work has a
lot more space to be based round in,
rather than staying still on a screen,
the work will be able to flow with the
wall frame, which looks a lot better in
our opinion. If you are using a screen, will you
use a single screen, or multiple
screens?

Technological convergence

What is technological convergence?

This is when new technologies are created that perform the same task as past technologies but in
a more efficient and better way

Will you be using this in your installation?

No we will not be using technological convergence in our video installation

Explain your answer.

For our video installation, we will be using a projector to project the video onto the walls.
Technological conversion is where you use new and improved technology. Projectors arent new
technology, they have been around for a while and there has been new technology created since the
making of projectors.

Installation plans
From the ideas in your mindmap, create a more definite proposal for how you will install your videos.

Diagram of final plan:

Add labels to clearly identify your diagram
 Unit 35 Installation Production Booklet

How have the following influenced your ideas?

work of the artists you have researched

venue and facilities Because of where the venue is and the

facilities we have it has influenced us to
create our design into a game show in the
venue.

lighting
Because there is a lot of lighting when can
have a lot of lights to make it stand out like
a game show.

sound
All the sound will be coming through
headphones so should be a high quality
sound.
screens / projectors
We will be using a projector to project the
media onto the wall

speakers / headphones Each screen will have headphones so

people can look at each show easily and
will be able to hear it properly

Copyright issues

What potential copyright issues could your installation infringe?

With our production of multi camera work, we used a green screen that we decided what
background image to use, we didnt create this ourselves and took it from another creator. This is
an issue because the person may not want us to use that work, therefore to over come this we
would include those artists at the end credits, to make them know that we are fairly using their
work but including their names in it. Also when there is music involved, that we didnt create
ourselves the creator may not want us to use that song for the work we are doing, to over come
this we will send out an email to the producers to ask if it is ok and also include them at the end
credits too, so that the audience know them and understand that we did not complete the work
ourselves, in terms of music and back screens.

http://tubularinsights.com/copyrighted-music-in-video/

How can you be certain that the work you are displaying does not violate any
copyright infringements?
By only using our own work rather than using someone elses, all speech and music
would be approved by the owner before use so that there isnt any issues of us taking
work from someone else. As we will be using other people multi camera work, we have
to confirm that is ok with them in order to not cause any issues on the day.

Venue booking confirmation

Add the booking confirmation from the venue here:
We are using current practitioners of video installations as we have multi camera productions which use
the techniques of fast editing, and more than one camera used for showing different angles. This wasn't
used in past installation as they used only one screen for productions, and the content was very basic
and at a bad quality. Post installations that are shown use no props and equipment were as current ones
prefer to interest the audience, and keep them engaged during the show, we will be doing this as we are
having seats, to describe how we produced the multicamera work, and with a table with our information
written down, to engage the audience and make it more entertaining. This is why we are showing current
installations as an inspiration as it looks more professional and in a way "fun".

We are using a screen to show off our work, and the techniques we are using is multicamera. Because
multi camera was our choice of technique a screen was the best to use because you are able to see
clearly the techniques used.

We a using an electronic-based style to our production. We will only have one screen playing all the
productions one after another.

All the productions that are being shown in our work have a narrative story, either a chat show, or a
game, which has a straight forward way of following.

I would compare our style of installation with Sam Taylor woods because in her clip of David Beckham
she used a manikin to have a more physical aspect towards her work. Although we are not using a
manikin but we are creating the set that you would be in if you were there in the game studio which
carries on with the physical aspect. But we will be including narrative as the game shows have a
narrative so we are just improving on Sam Taylor Woods installation.
Were not using a narrative form because we dont want to distract the audience from the video because
this is what we want them to see. Our installation already has narrative to it as its a TV show being
shown on the projection. We must keep the psychical aspect throughout our installation and narrative
would take us away from this.

We chose a corner section for our installation and we are going to set up the space as if you are on the
set of a chat show. The hosts chair will be right underneath the screen where the installation will be
projected. This helps the viewers understand the concept of the videos and hopefully give the impression
that they are on the set.
