Sound design

What sound will your Productions have?

As my photographs are of an artist called GIRLI I thought I would play her music but also project speeches from people like
Emma Watson who have spoken a lot about feminism in the past.

Will you use headphones or speakers for this sound?

speakers

Why?
By using speakers it catches your attention more when walking past. It is a very vocal way of
using sound.

Lighting design

Technological convergence

What is technological convergence?

Technological convergence is when different forms of media technology merges to bring different types
of applications. For example, you could watch my final project on a mobile phone at the same time as
using other applications

Will you be using this in your installation?

No because all of my instillation is print based. However, you can view my photos on different social
Medias it is all in print form for my installation.

□ work of the artists you have researched By looking at how other artists work and ways
of presenting their exhibitions in different
ways it has help me to find my own style in
comparison to other artists.

□
□ venue and facilites
By looking at the different venues and
layouts, it has helped me to think
about the different ways I could
display my work.
□
□
□ lighting By researching different lighting displays
it made me realise, I would like a very
simple light display that just directly
lights up each photo

□
□ Through looking at how different artists use sound to
sound enhance their displays I have decided to keep it simple and
just use a song from the band that I photographed that
way everything links together and it does not draw
attention away from the photos
□
□ Screens / projectors It allows multiple people to experience the
exhibition at once as it is on a bigger scale.

□
□ speakers / headphones Gives the exhibition a more personal feel to
the experience.
