Three Finished Film Concepts –

When I started the journey into the production of my five minute film, I genuinely hadn’t expected to end up with three full versions!  This really was not my intention.  I am very tired now and yet still not completely happy.  However, over the summer I do hopefully intend to work on my film making along with many other art related projects.

For comparison purposes I have listed them all here.  The film I chose in the end was the second film.  The reason I chose it was because of personal preference coupled with small polls conducted among family and friends.  On my final film page, I have listed the reasons why I rejected film number 1 and 3.

Film 1 – Resolve or Evolve?

The concept behind this film was simply to show my work while talking about the rise of AI.  In this film, I pose the question is it possible to evolve with AI art instead of resolving never to use it?  More information can be found on my film submission page.

Film 2 – The Balance of Power

This is the film I chose for my final submission.  The concept behind this film was actually a lot more complex with a darker narrative.  I used the old biblical idea of an ‘Eighth Day’ to question whether we would be destroyed by our meddling with AI, algorithms and robots.  Like the first video I pose the question should we resolve or evolve? More information can be found on my film submission page.

Film 3 – The Balance of Power Book

The concept behind this film was very simple and straightforward.  The visuals show how the explanatory ‘Balance of Power’ book augments and the accompanying narrative talks about the project as a whole.  This video allowed experimentation with sound, especially when ambient voices are hidden within the images and accessible only by augmented reality.  The Balance of Power book calls on the art industry to acknowledge those hidden human stories that are behind every pixel of AI industrialised art.
