This workshop will focus on the future, on finding a new hope, on the desire for a Utopian and better world but also on exploring the dangers that this desire can hide inside. Based on a selected philosophical, literary or movie works, that are based around Utopic ideas, short videos or interactive project trailers would be created, briefly describing one still life key idea, scene or philosophy.
We will be searching for really functional ideals hidden under the pleasing, but often dysfunctional Utopias of a perfect future. During the workshop each student will have to go through the following creative steps:
1. Choice of the theme — from
the prepared topics and after the research, the students will creates a textual or schematic basis for their following work.
2. Storytelling structure, technology selection, moodboards and stillframes.
3. Video timelines or schematic designs of interactive media.
4. Video or interactive media trailers, final presentation, discussion.
