Task 9
post 1
The theme can be what inspires and fuels creativity, there's three people.
Number one= emotion and will follow a narrative on mental illness and give awareness. The dialogue will be a long the lines of "everything in life has become a function of self discovery and self sustenance; what job should i have some see this as means to sustain or as means to justify self worth, who they are and what there existence means to them and to others. people in
this generation use art as a form of self discovery, art can be found in anything similar to poetry. when we think we don't realise we don't actually think in sentences but in phrases and pictures and sounds and memories and feelings and all these other things so its hard to communicate yet as humans we need connection for survival, so what did we do? enhanced technology when in reality that has made us lose touch, art is a true form of communication. when i go to the art museum and I find something that speaks to me without words, you can stare at it for ages. interesting to see someones pain or joy translated through colours or no colour at all."
"We're here but we're not really here, you look in the mirror at your reflection and cant believe all the things that are silently going on in your mind, all the feelings of euphoria, pain, crippling awkwardness, longing to be something, say something be somewhere else, thinking in pictures and remanences, the outside cant even fathom, you catch a glimpse of yourself in lets say a computer screen or window working apart of this bigger picture of the world and its weird cos you've really never felt outside of yourself, you're always inside your own mind, surrounded by the walls of say, a classroom but really you're somewhere else. The world can get lonely so when we see something poetic or artistic it's interesting to witness someone's soul finally apart of the world and a recollection manifesting outside of themselves. a beauty i'm sure even a philistine can acknowledge"
"excited by the documentary of flesh and blood"
Number 2= sexuality, so this is art to do with the LGBT. How the art of poetry, dance etc is used to empower or reflect whats in them, dialogue may be a long the lines of "when i do what i do i want other like minds to find me and have a conversation, i want to make friends like me cos i've been alone for a while now. Not only that but i want my work to be a friend to the people that are alone." This story should be more about empowerment and celebration of sexuality. This may also follow the theme of love as an inspiration (for the theme of love I may use my friend who speaks Russian as I want my short film to be diverse).
Number 3= ethnicity or just cultural background. talking about their race as a big fuel for creation, and what it means to be black, brown or yellow. This is not only about struggles but about culture, celebration and empowerment. There will be cultured music and features of art that also feature a celebration of people in colour for example Chris Ofili. I'm going to use my Angolan friend who speaks the language Lingala. The dialogue may be "being black* is my biggest struggle but also my biggest inspiration"
"I had a lot of insecurities that came from a young age just from being Darkskin and having course hair, I remember crying in primary school because my hair was to kinky curly and everyone was pulling my hair and making fun of me."
" I've loved testing the colour palette to get brown shades, these are the most beautiful colours ever now, I want to paint my room brown, paint the whole world chocolate, i want to bathe in ebony because i truly find the shade beautiful."
The person i'm using may recite a bit from a poem that they've written.
