Following on from the 'Car Boot Art' mini-brief, I have decided to create a short stop-start motion video clip. The idea evolved whilst producing drawings from observation of my car and exploring the possibility of filling my car with colour. I gathered together a substantial amount of fluorescent yellow paper and tore it into shapes that allowed me to create the impression of a moving luminous liquid. I decided to use the car boot as the starting point of the installation as I felt it would be the most visually interesting. I also liked the idea of colour coming from the boot and leaving trails on the road behind to give a sense of the car moving forwards. Once I had filled the boot with colour I chose to gradually close the boot door, with the liquid-effect colour spilling out from underneath as it closes. I really like the idea of using narrative in my work and almost creating some sort of animation. The video was 25 seconds once I had put the images together and worked very effectively in giving the viewer the sense that the colour was invading a space. I also added music to the video to give a sinister feel. I used 'Justice - Stress', which always reminds me of something like the 'Jaws' theme tune when I hear it. With this puddle of colour growing ever closer to the camera, the music goes well in the video to create suspense.
