Movement Project

For this Movement brief, I have been asked to create an animation on a new movement containing the word ‘Ism’. I have to make this piece move but also convey a story/message across to the audience. I firstly started my research by creating a mind map.

Continuing in my research, I started by researching into different ‘Isms’, and I found a fair few ranging from art movements to political movements, and from this I started to come up with my own movements, and I came up with Dreaminism, Sleeplessism, Innerism, and Fearism, and from these started researching into each specific area and finding out what it entails, for example with Fearism, I looked into different fears ranging from slight fears to extreme fears and from that coming up with different ideas for my animation, and I did this for each idea, researching into different ism and what it means and how I can translate this into an animation.

I had a tutorial meeting with one of my tutors and I put across two of my Isms which was Fearism and Innerism, and with Fearism, I spoke about different fears and how each person has these fears ranging from the typical fear to a non conventional fear, following from that, I spoke about Innerism, Innerism is about how a person can be discriminated and bullied just because they come from a different country, this will be my own story that will be portrayed but still relating to other people coming from different countries. After explaining this to my tutor, I was advised to go with Innerism but changing the same which suited more to the story. I researched into Patriotism and what it means, and it means ‘The feeling of loving your country’, from this definition, I thought of different names for my movement such as Culturism, Nationalism, Selfism and Proudism.
