Name

I am aiming to achieve a multimedia arrangement of work that challenges my abilities as a Filmmaker and Photographer. I have been working on my music and cinematography interests outside of college whilst being employed by various clients that share the same interests.

I intend to explore and identify different techniques in photography and specifically film to highlight the prominent use of colour that will hopefully be involved, all the while incorporating depth and interest within my chosen topic. I believe this FMP leads perfectly into what I would like to do in the future as I am aspiring to do a music production course next year.

The main source of inspiration behind this project is a musician called George Van Den Broek otherwise known as Yellow Days. He has Chromesthesia and it is rumoured that his almost psychedelic like brand is based around it. I went to see him perform and took some photos in the style of his brand and really enjoyed the post production process.

The film will be in the style of a music video where I create a sense of contrast to show people who don’t have synesthesia a glimpse of it’s effects. Contrast will appear, even simply from the lack of music and dull visuals and with the addition of sound, colour becomes more intense, how I show this will be primarily subject to my research.

I will be collaborating with a choreographer who will help me represent the linking of two senses through movement whilst learning a few different post production techniques to further portray the sensation of this type of synesthesia visually and audible. I will most likely use my canon 6D Mkii throughout the production as I will be shooting in 1080p and I am better acquainted to canon cameras in general. I will also use the Sennheiser ME67 for any live/atmospheric audio that I need.

As I have previously mentioned, accompanying the film will be four printed images investigating the contrast I have subsequently highlighted in the video and I am aiming to further explore colour surrounding the mind of someone who has Chromesthesia through desaturated and bright/colourful images. Similarly to the video production I will be using my Canon 6Dmkii and various other equipment but there will be no need for a microphone.

I will consistently be experimenting with studio and location shots when it comes to the video and photography to see what looks the best and provokes the best representation of what it is like to have Chromesthesia.

To track this primary research to gauge people’s opinions and interests on what I’m creating I will write a blog weekly dedicated on reflecting on the path the project is taking. This blog will also include personal decision ands reflection on how I think the schedule is going.

I believe this is a good way of getting the best grade is by constantly referring back to the research I have done to make sure whatever I produce links back to my topic of chromesthesia and showcases the best possible version of my topic.
