Film Poster Collages

The main patterns and themes throughout the documentary are the elements of Y2K, 90's cyber, slavery, distressing, surveillance, crowds, loud, retro and paranoia. The main key scene to portray is the whole social experiment ("QUIET") as that conveys all main elements and is the focus of the documentary.

The source images were based on all the themes. I chose images of concentration camps to directly relate to Josh Harris' quote. Images from the social experiment itself to compare with concentration camps. Images of people being interviewed really isolated. Visual imagery that is from late 90's and y2k softwares such as 95 windows icons.

 This experimentation was to create a pattern. I liked how the images looked after I cut them out and before organising them as it was really chaotic and the way in which they were not contained in the sheet connotes the idea of how the internet affects your whole life.

This is the pattern once it was actually organised. My idea for this was to look as if it were a glitch.

The group's overall collages all related as they all were explorations of how to use these images that relate directly in the film in a way that is chaotic.

My collages:

This is the experimentation with creating the typeface using a snake idea. I used a variation of fonts which I think is interesting as it resembles ransom notes and connotes the idea of anonymity.

This was my favourite collage result as the separation and transition of the title represents glitching.

This collage is to represent a scene in the film. I chose to recreate the montage of scenes from the QUIET social experiment as that was the main focus of the documentary and it's really chaotic. I used images of concentration camps and images from within the social experiment to show the similarities. The two pupils within the same eye is to convey a really distressing and surreal representation of surveillance. The man sitting on the chair isolated away from the chaos of the collaged images is representing Josh Harris being an outsider and watching this quite apathetically. The text is to continue the idea of anonymity though ransom note inspired styles and I chose to use "u" to represent the idea of chatroom/text type.

My scan idea:

I chose these images to overlay as I feel they encompass what I want to explore in a poster. The strips of green connote glitching and coding. The breaking apart and physical ripping of the paper in which 'Public' is written connote how digital is destroying analog and the destruction of how your public life is controlled.
