AN_Week10_Light

Premise: When the light illuminated, they all turn back normal.//Alvin

Bullet points of the story:

• Under brightness, everything looks normal
• Once the light turned out, the evil side of things come out.
• Crime happens in the flourishing city, a vegetarian kills the animal in the dark, a person looks kind may turn into a demon at night.

This work examines ideas of the evils under darkness through the concept of light. I use three methods to engage with this concept. Mind map, storyboard and a video prototype. Every step of the iteration, some new idea emerges.

By switching darkness and brightness through controlling an artificial light switch, I present the different situation underneath darkness and brightness. At first, I am thinking the different before sunrise and after sunrise, while I drawing a mind map, I thought it also could be artificial light, the light that controlled by a switch. I use the method I learnt on CPS class, thinking about the scenes in terms of environment, event and character, then present it via a storyboard. Once I finished the story, I become more interesting about the concept and want to deliver it with a video prototype. While I produce the animation, I found my first darkness scene not strong enough, then I try to add gunshot into the scene, it works very well.

This work is similar to the work of Ariel Martin, whose picture books examine the promise technology of Ai could also have a dark side. The needs for technology may blind people to recognize the real reality. the Link:Horror Short Film “The iMom” | ALTER
