Image Manipulation

Image Manipulation

My Ideas

30/04/15

This projects revolves around the idea of creating a hoax using image manipulation, and so I had to come up with an idea that I could then create.

I wanted to create something that strongly provoked emotions in people, like disgust and outrage, so that it didn't just confuse them. To do this, I looked at relevant subject matters that had been provoking people to act, such as animal testing and experimentation on animals to hunting of animals.

At first, I came up with a couple of ideas in a newspaper headline format, so that I could see the context and also get my ideas out in a structured way:

'Surgery of Rabbit and British woman a success'

'Murdered and Decorated: missing people found with extreme dis-figuration and modification- Wild animals used'

The first idea focuses on Anthropomorphism: The joining of human form and something non-human.

The last of the idea's uses 'The Red Dragon' and 'Silence of the lambs' as research, and the idea of body dis-figuration stems from these two films.
