SWOT - Analysis -

Proposal - Form -

The concept for my project is a circus theme based on what people find entertaining and how entertainment can become discriminatory and marginalise certain groups of people, inpartcilaur disabled people. I chose a circus theme as this idea was developed through my findings from my case study on ‘The Freaks’ and I wanted to explore a more modern and contemporary form of The Freaks. Looking at how mindsets have and haven't changed over the years and how disabled people are viewed within media. I will be doing this in the medium of an experimental montage, using surrealists techniques with photography and videography  to give it an edge and project my message across more blatantly in a way that makes people pay attention. I will also include film paint as part of one of my installations. For this I will need to research more on ‘The Freaks’, if there are modern circus’ and what kinds of entertainment they use. Also researching some surrealists techniques and photography and videography. Exploring the works of surrealist photographers such as David Lachapelle and Man Ray and many more. I will also carry out some research through observation by watching other surrealist montages, paying close attention to what techniques the artist has used.
