project update #2

As of today, I have been editing together a potential version of this project. It will be a multi-channel interpretation of Edgar Allen Poe's The Pit and the Pendulum. It will explore the effects and psychological degradation of an individual left in solitary confinement. It is a project that was started in DXARTS 453 but that I feel has potential to be pushed even farther to capture more emotion from the character, as well as other elements including sound and environment.

I am also working on another potential version of this project that would work with traditional Samoan dancers. I want to bring more exposure to the Samoan culture but also create an expressive video experience that will engage the audience. I am scheduled to continue filming this Wednesday, and will hopefully wrap up filming this week, in order to give myself ample time to edit the video and sound and construct the proper programming for a DVD that can loop in the way that I want it to.

The challenges that I foresee are time and programming. I hope that I have enough time, and that I can manage it well enough to complete all aspects of this assignment. The editing will not be a problem, but I can see the website and the documenting to be a problem that will need to managed very carefully. I can also see that the constructing of the DVD could potentially cause some problems, but after looking at all the research I have, I think that I am capable of creating what I desire.
