Rationale

The song I chose was Florence and the machine, shake it off. My approach to creating a non-linear narrative was to create a triptych where the narrative could change based on the sequence the images were viewed in. The sequence of the images would also be determined by chance to take the control away from the viewer. To achieve this, I decided to construct a box which would have the images fall out when it was shaken. I was inspired by the song and created a story that was set in a forest. I made the character of the story resemble a deer because deer is seen in popular culture as a guardian of the forest but has a negative impact on native New Zealand forest. This worked well with the story as it echoed my concept of the demon being within the character itself. I chose to have all three images set with in the same place to reiterate the fact that it’s within the same story and build cohesion. I also chose to decorate the outside of the box with tree like textures to set the scene.
