I decided after filming insdie and around coombe, it proved impossibe to get bright enough shots, as the building has barely any light, and without being disterbed by staff asking if i had permission to film mid-shot. I did have permission to film, however its their company policy to ask. Also on the day of filming the only rooms i could film in were in the old end, and the electricity cut off as soon as i pressed record. (how ironic)
I was planning on going back but the whole idea seemed like it had been pushed into different routes and wasnt even relevant to me, the task, the course or coombe anymore. I had a really simple, and more relevant idea, to show statistics in an interactive and avent garde way, which seemed really clear in my head whilst i was watching a wierd gory cheap horror.
The idea is simply to show the items off either the mcdonalds pound saver menu or the happy meal box’s and flash them with images of gore, the amount of gore being representative of the calorie content.
This thought then escilated to the vision of lots of people in a white studio setting sat at a simple white table, eating each item off the menu, looking blankly into the lens (emotionless and robotic) then when each is clicked, it will be flashing as them eating the item full screen to them thowing up gore, fake blood etc. (representative of the calorie content).
Im not sure why i want to do this, im not a vegetarian or against mcdonalds, infact quite the opposite, i justthink it will work visually, and meet the brief better.
