I will have to be careful to avoid creating images which look cliche because they are similar to a horror film. I am not trying to make people scared, but rather I am trying to discuss the idea of fear. It will be hard to detach these two from each other. I will use captions in most of my pictures, where it is necessary. This will help me talk more about the issues of fear, rather than make a scary picture which scares people. I want to explore new ways of showing fear, maybe show it in a beautiful way or a gross way.

My Visual Rhetoric Idea
For my vr project, I want to illustrate fear, and how it can physically and emotionally handicap a person. Fear is such a strong emotion, and every person reacts differently to it. I want my images to really capture the intensity of it. I will either use images which would instill fear in the minds of the viewer, or show a subject in the picture experiencing fear, or both. This project will revolve around pathos. Fear is an emotion, one that is known to every person. It will be an interesting creative process, trying figure out how different people experience fear, and how I will successfully represent that.

Hey, chica.
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting idea, but I think you'd benefit by narrowing your scope. What sort of fear do you want to explore--anxiety? Horror? Explore the ambiguous nature of fear--it's actually an adaptive emotion because it keeps us from dangerous things. However, it's very unpleasent to experience. Dig deep, B. See what you come up with n' email with questions or concerns.
