PROJECT 2
'POST-APOCALYPTIC' ENTITY
THE BLACK CARNAGE
Scenario: Life as we know it will reach to its ‘extinction’, yet there are little remains survived and the unknown cause of destruction and apocalypse nature.
This project was very interesting as it is very different from the past projects. Firstly, we have to tell our own story based on how the world would end with little remains of life and telling it through storyboards.
Out of the story created, a few keywords should be derived for us to start designing the conceptual model. As for the materials, it is unlimited to different kinds of materials that could best describe the 'post-apoclyptic' entity.
STORYBOARD
CAUSE OF APOCALYPSE
The story is about saving the earth from global-warming gone wrong. Where scientists from the United States decided to create a new-species that could digest all the wastes that is overloading due to China banning waste imports in 2018.
Everything started to go downhill after finding out the new species is secreting a very toxic chemical upon eating all the wastes. And the chemical, is alive... I have named it the Black Carnage as it latches on to anything that it is able to be in contact with. Sucking and eating out all the flesh of a living entity, leaving them to the bones, Resulting on the most gory and gruesome deaths of all time.
KEYWORDS
FROM THE STORYBOARD
Conceptual keywords process must be injected to better understand, sculpt and mould their conceptual model accordingly.
From the apocalypse, I've managed to derive INTERTWINE, FUSION and LAYER as my keywords. Then, I was able to start designing the model. Throughout this process I was focusing on bringing the word 'Strangling' to life whilst applying the keywords in my methods. Finding the right materials to achieve my goal was crucial as I wanted the viewers to be able to feel strangled/suffocated upon looking at the model. Hence, using black electrical wires was the best choice as the internal wire (copper wire) helps give contrast to the model. Grey board was used as the base to imitate suffocation and allow shadow to form when light is shone above the model
BOARD DEVELOPMENT
SELF REFLECTION
ON PROJECT 2
This assignment has helped me develop several skills and using different elements such as sound and photography as the five senses plays an important role in communicating with the viewers through the model/design.
I have also learnt to fully utilize the requirements such as the base. During the previous semesters, I have always turn a blind eye for the base instead of utilizing it during my design development. It makes such a difference when you give attention to all the requirements needed.
