Sense of Space: 6 Images

Phil Cullen

This is the Six

Black Still• The theme of our audio piece is about a

person who suffers from total blindness.

• For people with sight, we could only perceive blindness by covering/closing our eyes, and seeing only total darkness.

• This image is representative of our characters perception, but also acts as an obvious signifier of the initial image an audience will have as they listen to the audio piece.

Close up of an Eye

• Again this image follows on from the previous still, and is symbolic of sight, vision and personal perception.

• This still also reflects the style of the audio piece, in that it aims to be a subjective personal view from the perspective of a single character.

• Additionally this identifies that space cannot be viewed literally; it has to be interpreted or imagined.

Close up of an Ear

• Sensory perception plays a big role in our audio piece.

• Sound is often said to become heightened and more sensitive when another sense such as sight is lost or hindered.

• Relating with the previous stills, this image again enforces how image will have to be created relying on other senses, in this case with a specific focus on auditory hearing.

Radio

• A major part of our audio piece is sourced from the sounds of a radio, in which an audio interview is being played.

• The radio is a purely auditory interaction, and so we felt it could be utilized to tell a part of the audio piece.

Kitchen Appliances (Cup, Teaspoon, and Kettle)

• These objects show what the character within the audio can be heard doing.

• Whilst fairly mundane, it is to emphasize that simple tasks can still be achieved.

• They also present fairly clear sounds that are recognizable for listeners.

Rain• Rain has a very important presence in our

audio, as a metaphorical anecdote and as a practical application.

• When rain hits different surfaces it creates a variation of different sounds that are distant and can be separated from each other.

• All the sounds act like a jigsaw; identifying each surface and fitting them together would create a visual depiction of the surrounding.
