NEW LENSES: Experimental Capture and Release

Update:

1. Concept 1: Portrait via Virtual Escape Room is the idea that I will be moving forward with.
2. Scheduled Plan:
   • 4/27: Brainstorm escape room themes, decide if I’m including the portrait aspect, draft narratives/storylines
   • 4/29: Gather images and assets, decide of the visual aesthetic, begin wireframing on Figma
   • 5/2: Based on feedback, make edits and start to polish and make the frames high-fidelity.
   • 5/4: Test the Figma file for anything non-functional. Continue to update and revise.
   • 5/6: Complete any final edits the Figma file. Make blog post with final project.
   • 5/9: Present 🙂
3. By 5/2: I plan to have at least a lo-fidelity wireframe of the escape room ready.

Concept 1: Portrait via Virtual Escape Room

1. • Capture Subject: Experimental Portrait
   • Capture Technique: Instructions & Photo Visualization
   • Platform for Release: Figma
2. One of my ideas is to create an experimental portrait by making an interactive virtual escape room (similar concept to my reference “Hogwarts Digital Escape Room”). I am thinking that this will play out to be like an escape room, except more story/information heavy to also create a portrait of the character(s) involved.

Concept 2: Same Landscape, Different Time

1. • Capture Subject: Experimental Landscape/Still Life
   • Capture Technique: Photosphere & Time Lapse
   • Platform for Release: Google Street View
2. For this idea, I am thinking that I would time lapse multiple angles over a few days in one location. I would take some images from the time lapse of each angle to create a merged version of the angle (similar to my reference “Same Place, Different Time,” but merging more images together). I would then merge each angle to make the photosphere.

Concept 3: Fake Real Conversations

1. • Capture Subject: Experimental Portrait/Event
   • Capture Technique: Screenshots & Screen Recordings
   • Platform for Release: YouTube
2. This idea is to stitch together parts of different real conversations/messages in a staged recreation of events to create a fake storyline. For the look/visual execution of this idea, I am referencing the short film “If You Never Answered X.”
