Expanding Extras
Today’s film experience - post cinema release – involves a large accompaniment of peripheral works that are named ‘bonus features’. These extras have a potential to break out of being simple additions and becoming something creative themselves. They also bring forth transparency to creative production.
This project will look at how these supporting items might be used to create an idea of a bigger piece in people’s minds. This piece may be a film, but may also be any created work involving groups of people working together; such as a TV programme or a magazine photo shoot. The onus is on the viewer to decide in their minds what has been created.
The project involves the creation of evidence that mimics ‘bonus features’ placed in a gallery environment. The evidence contains behind-the-scenes footage, cast interviews and production stills that blend together to create the notion that a piece has or is being made. By placing the ‘bonus features’ in a gallery space, it highlights their own importance at the same time utilising them to answer the problem.
