PROJECT INSTALLATION WITH THE FOCUS ON USER EXPERIENCE
“The aim of this project is to make users feel uncomfortable or scared with the use of the knowledge gained by the author throughout his experience studying Creative Multimedia. The author hopes to become a motion designer in the near future and the brief of this project allows the author to explore 3D modeling and it’s aspects regarding animation, and the effects it can have with the viewer at a psychological level. In order to achieve the reactions that are expected from the viewers, mixed media was used for the implementation of the project, these would include: audio, 2D imagery and 3D imagery acting as an installation piece.
The reasoning behind the decision to make this project as partly an installation piece was to make sure the aim of the project is achieved, which is to make the viewers uncomfortable and/or scared. The contents explore the factors that make people uncomfortable, some of which are: insects, the unknown, audio, body parts, etc. These factors were concluded after preliminary research was done.
This project is fun and it doesn’t take to the extremes of scaring someone. Some of the content may be disturbing but they all aid each other in achieving the goals of this project.”
