Unit 35 Installation Production Booklet

Past and current video installation practice

From your research into video installation, give two examples that you think influence your work / ideas
in some way.
One should be a past practitioner, the other should be contemporary.
Past Practitioner
Name:

FIONA TAN

Biography
Fiona Tan was born in Pekanburu, In-donesia in 1966. She is
most known for her photography, lm and video installa-tions,
though she was raised in Australia she currently lives in
Amsterdam to this current day. an example of her work is
when she has two dierent videos play-ing at the same time
which makes you think constantly when watching them to
gure out what connects them. When watching the video i
had to have a debate with myslef in my head to break down
what the images in the videos mean and whether they
connect with eachother. once i watched the full videos i
realised that some of them connect and you realise what the
actual meaning of the installation means howvere her style of
making the meaning harder for you to gure out intrigues you
to keep watching but compared to other installations whos
meaniing is a lot easier to work out

Notes on their installation

How is it similar to your ideas?

This work is not really that similar to my ideas because with

fiona tans work she makes you constantly think about what
her images mean where as with my ideas I wanted it to be
simple and easy to follow however I looked at her work to
gain inspiration on what I would of liked my final exhibition
would look like.

Contemporary Practitioner
Name:

Spartacus Chetwynd

Biography
Sparticus Chetwynd is installation artist and is well known for
her piesces which are celebra-tions of cultural history whilst
emplifying mad-ness to images of cultarul history and
becuase of this her work becomes well know and stands out
as not being boring and because its based on cultural history
it turns out like a history lesson where you learn things from
our history.one thing that makes her work famous is the
thought and preperation she uses in her instal-lations with
one of them utillises 32 at screens, 8 pairs of headphones
and of all things bean bags so when she creates an
installation she goes well out of proportion to make it
ridiculous due to this it creates a deeper meaning towards
her work.

Notes on their installation

How is it similar to your ideas?

Its not really similar to my ideas but I have looked into the
work for inspirastion however because the style used for this

Unit 35 Installation Production Booklet

specific artists work is quite wacky and mad it doesnt really

fit into what I wanted my final piece to look like.

Unit 35 Installation Production Booklet

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.

Unit 35 Installation Production Booklet

Draft script of FMP

Insert your draft script here. Remember to use correct script formatting.

Unit 35 Installation Production Booklet

Sound design
What sound will your FMP / Productions have?
My FMP will contain a song by Max B which is called dopeman its used throughout my video as
each scene changes, there isnt really any other sounds incorporated in my video.

Will you use headphones or speakers for this sound?

Speakers

Why?
Because I like the thought of people hearing it in the background as they walk by and if they like the
sound of it they will be drawn to watch it.

Lighting design
What lighting will you have in your installation? Consider health and safety.
For the lighting I will be having natural lighting rather than putting out certain lighting.

Sketch out your lighting plans for the installation.

Unit 35 Installation Production Booklet

Projection vs screen
Will you project your video or play it on a screen?

Play it on a screen because my space for the actual exhibition is limited so I wont really have enough
room to project my work on a screen.

Why?

If you are using a screen, will you

use a single screen, or multiple
screens?

Singlescreen

If you are projecting what will

you project ONTO? (ie fabric,
screen, materials etc)

How will that change how your

audience READS your animation?

Unit 35 Installation Production Booklet

Technological convergence
What is technological convergence?
Technological convergence is the tendency between different technological systems to evolve towards
performing similar tasks.

Will you be using this in your installation?

No

Explain your answer.

I wont be because each of my videos for my installation arent the same they are all different.

RISK ASSESSMENT

During my production the only main safety issues would be the fact that I will be filming
closely to skaters so I need to be careful with the surroundings because if Im holding a
2000 camera and I trip over the skateboards I could hurt myself and possibly break
the camera.
Using the tripod, making sure its not in the way of the skaters because they could go
straight into it.

Unit 35 Installation Production Booklet

How have the following influenced your ideas?

work of the artists you have researched

venue and facilites

lighting

sound

screens / projectors

speakers / headphones

Its made me think about how I

want my work to look like so
whether I wanted it to be
complicated or very simple and
down to earth.

I had to change how I wanted mine

to look due to limited space snd
there wasnt much I could do about
it really.

I always knew I was going to use

natural lighting because it gives it
more of a simplistic and natural look
this helps with keeping it a walk past
and be intrigued kid of look.

For the sound of my installation I

wanted to not use headphones
and just utilise the computers
speakers so when people walk
past they can hear it and if they
like the sound of it hopefully they
will want to watch it.

The screen I will be using is the laptop

screen because of the limited amount
of space I wont be able to project my
work on a projector.
