Memory Outline

My memory is one that most people have experienced. The concept is very basic; it is what one experiences within an exam hall. Simply put the subject/viewer will be exposed to multiple video clip projections that express one aspect of an examinees experience during an exam. With the space provided I plan on placing desks at different corners of the room in order to place the projectors on a high enough structure. The projectors will them play video clips on repeat while projecting the images into books (the books shall be used as screen). The viewer, after entering the room, sits at the desk placed in the centre of the room where all the sound shall be projected. This will allow for the viewer to see all of the videos from one point while experiencing all the sound at the same volume level.  

The Space

A small room around 6x5x6 meters with a hexagon shaped table placed in the centre of the room. When the lights are switched off the room is fairly dark and its only light source becomes a small window. In order to prevent any light from entering the window shall be screened over with a dark material. The room is originally used for radio broadcasting so the sound that gets in and out of the room is almost none existent. This will help project the surround sound effect very well.  

Storyboard

Since the video does not for tell a story line, but instead more of an experience I shall provide a description of the clip, how it shall be used and the sound effect to go along with it.

Clip 1 Clock: An image of a clock constantly ticking will be projected onto a wall parallel to the position of the table in the centre. This will be the largest projection out of the following the video clips and it shall use a ticking clock sound effect.  

Clip 2 Writing: The subject will constantly write the same sentence over and over again. This clip shall be projected onto an open book in one of the four corners of the room. The projection will be consistent to all the other video projections other than the clip of the clock. It will use a scribbling sound effect and will be synced up to the page turning sound effect.

Clip 3 Page turn: The examinee will be turning the same two pages over and over again. Clip 3 resembles clip 2 in a number of ways the only differences would have to be the sound effect, which is a page turning sound effect, the location of the projector and the action the examinee is carrying out.

Clip 4 Cheating: This clip utilises two subjects. Two examinees, one that is doing well and another that is struggling with nothing on his paper. It will be a constant loop of subject C (C=Cheater) trying to check out the answers on subject A’s (A=None cheater) paper and then failing at his attempt. This clip shall not have any sound effects attached.         

Clip 5 Pacing teacher: Simply a teacher pacing by the students in real time and then the clip is rewound and played back. The sound of footsteps will be synced up to the video and will be played every time the video is played and rewound.

To add an extra intense effect to the video a light heart beat sound effect will be synced up to the ticking clock.
