Unit 50 - The Judgement Day

The unit has now broken down into two ideas: Spoken Word Poerty or Narrative Story.

I have chosen the Spoken Word Poetry in the style of the world judging people and putting them into groups and classes. I have kept my theme of the LGBT Community but draw on others expeirances. As I am only gay I cannot speak about the others sexuality as I have no expeiance of their lives but creating this piece is somehting I am passionate about. I have a group that I have joined and they have all agreed to help me with my project and get the word about their stories to other people. I will ask them questions and use their answers as the stem of my spoken word poerty. I will then use opionions and facts about the community and draw on peoples own lives and how ours different to theirs. Poetry sets a mood, brings out the feelings of the writer and the listener. I will focus more on the audio side of the film than the visual to keep the project to the unit of sound itself. Expressing my emotions adds to the audio sounds and the sound effects adds to the mood of the piece.

I will be dresed in white top and white shorts no shoes and maybe no jewlery. With a black sharpie there will be words written all over me that people have said to me, insulted me with or have used in anger with me. The bigger the words the more it has been said. I will be led in a bath maybe at someones house or maybe at a dumpsite with these words written all over me. There maybe cuts and driping blood down the bath. The footage wouldnt be much I would lie there as the camera pans around me, taking wide shots of the environment, panning up my body maybe stoppping at certain words to empathise the feels of the community and to relate to the Spoken Word Poem. There will be sound effects of dripping taps, barking dogs, children laughing, things that make it more sinister that makes it more empathetic and cold towards the audience to make them listen more to the words being spoken. This will join with sound effects being overlaped maybe the music gettig louder and then stopping with me writting on my hand saying 'Smile' and then the movie goes black saying 'would you still judge me?'

1. What you think others think of you?

Start:

Dead on a bed wth a sheet over my body that gets taken off me reveling my dead body covered in words.

Camera pans round the room and on me woth certain words.

The climax is the audio overlapping and getting faster.

Then it goes quite and cross disolves on to my hand where i have wrttien "Smile" in red.

and the scene goes black as the audio ecos 'You you still judge me?'
