Constructing the Brief

 1) Look at your clients document and describe them include drawings/ diagrams etc.

• People and space morphing around the "void' with perspectives changing
• Sense of large scale and standing before it
• looking into a gate of sorts

 Video

• Moving through space with darkness enveloping
• From indoor environments to outdoor native environments

 Audio

• Atmospheric at the start with lots of delay to indicate vast space
• Getting more violent and abrasive towards end
• Quite processed sounds to indicate its not reality

 2) What is your interpretation of the document, is the ritual obvious, what are the feeling associated e.g. frustration, happy etc.

• Interpretation of document is vast space and darkness, getting enveloped by the void
• Feeling are helplessness, insignificance, fear, journey, movement, transformation

 3) How does your client describe their homely ritual?

• They keep a dream journal and will draw their dreams after they have them
• Interested in the reality being pulled into the dreams
• More feeling of the dreams based, figuring out why the dreams felt that way
• The rip between reality and the dream world
• How your subconscious is feeling
• Feeling atmospheric, unusual but still safe, airy
• Moment in the dream where it felt like reality the the realization of the dream and darkness closed in

 4) Itemize the actions/ steps of the ritual, what is the sequence?

• Experience the day (what the subconscious mind will draw from)
• Go to sleep and let the subconscious take over
• When woken (if morning or night), record the feelings and experience so that they are not lost
• Rationalize the dream, where did it come from?

 5) Describe the scale and the quality of the space of the ritual. Is it cozy and snug or cramed and enclosed?

• Vast almost infinite space which the subject is in
• Morphing space from near reality to completely abstract
• Cold, dark, intimidating

 6) select a suitable room. Define design colours and materials palate

• Bedroom, hallway, multiple rooms?
• Colour would be deep blues, blacks and purples and contrasting white and yellows
• Sheets, white sheets and clothes, dreams wouldn't have a physical material palate

 7) Ask the client to define and aesthetic/ composition/ texture from their document.

• Not linear, lots of layers but not busy
• Lots of space, vast, empty
• Floating, not necessarily standing on solidness

Brainstorming

I began to sketch and idea to express the ritual idea.
