The Act: Concept

After the initial research, the idea of an act has been decided. It will be an exploration of both the urban context suggested within the analysis, and a development of the idea of cinematography. I am planning to undertake an urban performance, setting up a drive thru/ walk thru cinema.

Using one of the underpasses on the M8 motorway, the concept is to set up a low-scale urban cinema. Doing this will provide me with a way to explore the notion of cinema within Glasgow, and analysis of peoples consumption of performance. Using the flight case and my car as the method of projection, the underpass will become the area for consumption. I hope to be able to gauge peoples reaction to this event, and take from their reaction the body of my analysis of the act.

The statement of the cinema within this underpass will hopefull provide me opportunity to examine any change in peoples reaction to the space, which is currently not very plesnat to be in. Hopefully, the act will provide me with more reasoning for developin the breif in the direction of the motorway, or at least give me a greater need to question the context and event I am examining.
